I want an eco-friendly cabin in the mountains somewhere, or an eco-friendly beach house. I want to believe that I can help preserve the rivers and forests so that they will be there for people to enjoy in future generations. I want to be able to travel to the rainforest someday, and if I get over hating the cold, go wherever I can to see polar bears, and not have to worry about them becoming extinct. I want to make a difference. I want to believe that it's not too late to do that. That is why I chose to write this paper on the environmentalist movement, because it is something I care about, although right this minute I would rather be driving my car a million miles away and not worrying about how much gas I am using, or whether the cups I'm drinking out of are recycleable or not!
Can you tell I'm a little stressed, possibly on the verge of a breakdown and quite definitely going to be braindead by the end of this weekend? It's a really good thing I never did drugs, because I am going to need all my brain cells to actually complete this paper :)
Post-Script (I really like typing that rather than P.S.): Yay!!!! A friend just texted me and she is kidnapping me for a couple hours so I may have a reprieve and not start rocking back and forth and mumbling incoherent phrases like "the sky is falling" or some other craziness!
