    1:41 AM on my Macbook’s clock. 6 days into Easter Break. 10 days left. I am currently sitting on my desk‚ with a few drops left of my Hibiscus Tea. Also‚ pretty much the 7th or 8th time I’ve been high this past week. All I can say is I got too much time on my hands since my friends aren’t in town‚ nor is there any activity pending to do on my so called life (except for un-neglecting this blog). Getting high gives me the opportunity to explore many thoughts‚ feelings‚ dreams‚ disappointments‚ and

    It was going to be an ordinary afternoon‚ the 7th of July 1916. Ever since it was declared that war had begun on the 28th of July‚ the whole country had been busting and screaming at the thought of the combat. Most men were jumping at the idea of volunteering‚ bragging about their strength and how it will all end by Christmas. I would have liked to have thought that‚ but I simply didn’t have the luxury. My father was 47; too old to be enlisted. He was married anyway‚ so he couldn’t. The war had been

    chaotic world‚ as old aesthetics and beliefs simply did not seem to fit anymore. This sense of aloneness and being unstuck from reality is a quintessential trait of early 20th century texts. By examining the work of Thomas Hardy and William Butler Yeats (two contemporary poets of the time)‚ a real sense of the estrangement experienced comes across. Many social and political crises around the turn of the century aided the development of Modernism (approximately 1890 onwards). Europe was in a state
