Being here at SMU, I almost feel like I am in my own little world. When I think about it, I unattached I feel from what's going on in the real world. I have never been a huge TV watcher, or newspaper reader, but I find myself knowing less and less about what's going on. While living at home, I think I depended on my mom for the worldly updates. Now, I sometimes feel embarrassed for being so out of the loop. As far as the upcoming election is concerned, I have no idea what is going on- which is somewhat sad. I sometimes forget how simple it is to go online and read top stories, which I am sure would keep me updated, but at the end of the day, the last thing I want is to read more. I'd rather sleep, sadly enough. My mom has been urging me to register for an absentee ballot since my home state is California, but I don't even feel like I know enough to vote responsibly. I bet Schumaker would say that I am too self-absorbed, and following the trend of my narcissistic generation. But I think voting without knowing your stuff is worse than not voting at all. I'm going to start working on that.
