Do Nothing
Last week, Sal assigned the class to do nothing Literally, do nothing. Weird, isn't it? Lots of people in this world are instructed to do something - especially if they're bored. I know when I'm at school in study hall and our teacher catches us not doing anything, he gets upset. He tells us to either read or do other homework. When I did my 'do nothing' assignment, I decided to go to Regal, a movie theater close to my area. I wanted to go see the Justin Bieber movie, "Never Say Never" (I know, I'm just another crazy fan girl). I had no time to see it back in February because of all the things that have been going on in my life. I was ten minutes early, so I decided to do the assignment then and there. I was inside just standing there, not really paying attention to what people thought of me. I didn't really care, anyway. I felt weird because I could feel people's eyes on me. One old couple came up to me asking me what I was doing. I replied, "nothing". and they looked at me like I was a crazy person. Satisfied with my answer, they walked away. The smell of popcorn and candy mixed together in one place really tempted me to get some food, but I had to remember about this assignment. It was so hard for me! I wasn't used to doing anything, but it gave me time to think. When the ten minutes was up, no one was paying attention to me. I bought my ticket and went to see the movie. (which by the way was very inspirational. :P)

isn't it interesting how this society that we live in deems it so socially unacceptable to do nothing?
ReplyDeleteSound kind a fun... I have kind of bad experience at jewel osco like people come to me ask me questions do you need help. Anyways, good job of explaining what happened. Also, I like the way you said we are not used to do nothing but we have to try our best. Good Job.
ReplyDeleteI liked how u made the comparison how usually in school when we don't do anything teachers get mad but your experience sounded hard but it's good you stuck it out!
ReplyDeleteI think its weird that more people don't just do nothing. Its to bad that people have to keep doing doing things instead of just enjoy life.
