Okay, in Honors English 10, our teacher, Mrs. Woods, gave us an interesting assignment. We have to create a book cover, with a picture and title with description to match. It should reflect on our lives. Mine is called "The Mind's Ocean". Here is my description (It was only to be a paragraph or so long)
The human mind is like an ocean, but instead of water, thoughts fill our minds. Although everyone has this gargantuan ocean, very few seem to take a swim. A lot of my downtime is spent just thinking, about anything and everything. Even though that sometimes leads to over thinking a lot of simple things—which certainly isn’t a good thing—a lot of self realization has come from it. Instead of having to worry so much about my problems, I only have to calm down and just let myself think, and calmness is always but a few seconds away. Come on, take a swim.
Maybe that gave you some insight into me, hopefully it did. Thanks for reading, and the next blog entry will be much longer, I promise.
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -Carl Sagan
Times change, worlds change, but people, people never change.
What had started as an arduous project is now one of my passions. I love to write; this is where I try to paint pictures--with words. I'm a sophomore in high school, if you're wondering.

I like this piece. It sounds like Mrs. Woods will do a lot of cool stuff. I'm looking forward to hearing about the coming assignments. Meanwhile, an unexamined life is one not worth living, according to Socrates, and you are certainly living life to the fullest, as is our due.
I like yours alot Dilpreet.Very thought provoking. I'm thinking about posting mine too, but not totally sure yet. We need to use these blogs more!
