2.13.o9- Dispensability.

Ahh, on this fine morning I have been arisen by this time, the rain. Last night, however, it was a dream comprising of me being in finals week, which also happened to be tennis season. I believe it stemmed from my unpreparedness for math, in addition to empowerment from being on the team of a school sport. As for speculation, today`s topic is materialism. If objects` value primarily consist of sentiment, does that not mean that sentiment itself is the value? What I`m trying to say is, if no amount of money can replace an object due to it having sentimental value, is it not true that this means the memory itself gives it its value? So if the memory can be preserved, then is there no great loss when the end of the object`s time comes? If one object can have great sentimental value, then can`t the next object merely gain the same amount over time? I feel as though everyone who values material is putting on a facade to say the material has value to them psychologically, then the concept of materialism itself must all be psychological. Even personally, those objects that hold value to me, mainly do due to their purpose. If my iPod brings me solace because of its music, does any other object not hold the same value? To sum this all up, just about everything is dispensable as long as it is replaceable.

Today passed rather slowly and uneventfully, with the exception of the whole math fiasco. Yet another day went on, and it hasn`t been fixed due to the vice principal`s absence. I am hoping for sometime before fourth period on Tuesday it will be, since current math teacher said she`ll give me the test. I went to the career center at lunch, and apparently the work permit is turned in after you are hired with the employer`s signature, etc. Apparently, for my age group not too many job opportunities exist, but maybe working at Pizza Hut after my 16th is an option lol! Speaking of which, this weekend would be a good one to utilize to plan for that. My parents have already encouraged me to make a guest list and a venue, both of which are putting me in contemplation. I also have yet to take my permit test, and am also feeling the pressure to take that which means preparation. Today`s track practice was a change of pace [no pun intended,] since the coach`s son had gotten into a car accident and was not up to executing our planned workout. In lieu, we played a game of freeze tunnel with the sprints team which was immensely fun, except when I was the one tagging. We failed rather miserably since the group of people with March and April birthdays was so sparse. After, Lincoln Douglas lab also turned out to be preparation for those going to the Berkeley tournament this weekend, so I went home early since my dad was picking me up to bring me to his house in San Jose. I haven`t been here for a year now, and it`s a very odd feeling to return to a place so familiar after such a long time period. All in all, it could have been a better day, and so my wife and I have resolved to send each other roses next year to make it better.
