Current events
Ever since I’ve been out of high school, I have no idea what’s going on in the world. I miss those days when I would sit in Ms. D’s history class and she would show us “some video” of what was on the news the night before. During the elections I was very informed, and actually knew what I was talking about when I discussed politics with people. This election I steer clear of any political conversations, in fear of sounding like a complete idiot. I have internet, and my family gets the newspaper delivered everyday, but I just don’t remember to look. It’s really horrible that I'm so out of touch with the events of the world. I'm so oblivious and unknowledgeable that it’s embarrassing! I always find out really important information weeks later from overhearing a conversation and then I'm like “huh?! How come no one told me?!” I always feel so uncultured, but really it’s my own fault. I am such a cliché; A Bais Yaakov girl who is completely ignorant about current events.

oh cool - bec moderation is off!
i feel your pain
i totally miss ms. d's videos.
p.s. word verification is back? mmmyt! (thats mine)
First of all nice new layout!
that's so cool that in HS your teacher showed you videos of current events.
I miss those days too, now the only news I read is VIN, which I only read the headlines, unless there's something interesting.
But through word of mouth the important stuff become known, so it's not so bad. You can make a whole discussion just from what people talk about without actually having researched anything yourself, and you can still sound smart.
About time you turned off moderation.
i had moderation on because in my old blog i had lots of ppl writing not nice things!
I know what you mean - on a recent date, I totally squashed any conversation about politics because I didn't want to sound like an utter moron. I have been soooo lazy about reading the news.
Heehee. I am sooo glad I'm not the only one.
