It's Something Not Worth Influencing Me

We people used to write our messages with ink and paper, enduring every single step that our message must take in order to show our thoughts to the person we're writing to. Messages were important, and each word was deemed precious, for the path it must tread is long and arduous. Now that messages travel much faster and are easier to send, just how valuable still are the words in our messages?

Texting has never really been much of an influence to me, if it even disturbs me, at all, when it comes to my English speaking or writing ability. I do text too (though not too often) but I still love reading, and reading gives a lot of help in understanding and building one's proficiency in the language. I also have my non-stopping, English-speaking friends to aid me.

So, usually, even in texting or in a simple conversation, I can say what I need or want to say because texting never influenced me. If texting were ten people pushing, then I am a boulder weighing a ton.

Semestral Break - Does it even make a difference?

(Okay, please mind not the song reference at the title.)


A 10-day semestral break is not bad at all, for a guy like me.
And a guy like me likes to do a lot of things.
I played basketball and improved my jumping and shooting ability, learned two songs in a span of less than an hour, mastered them in days, read, wrote, did homework and also an awful lot of household chores. 

So, you see, the semestral break was a good week of improving for me in many ways. I used it to the fullest according to my desires and needs. It made a difference.
