Twitter, life, time and prospectives

Twitter! Every time I see the name of that website, it reminds me of tweety the little yellow bird that was my favorite character with when I was a little girl, and already put a smile on my face. When I was in elementary school back in my country, my life used to be in the teleological time because it was almost the same routine which is to wake up, get ready to go to school, eat my breakfast , go to school, eat my lunch, come back to school, study and do my homework, and finally go to bed. The next morning would be the same schedule. Besides certain moments with my family and friends, I was pretty much a robot repeating the same thing every day.
When I got to High School, I decided to run my life in a way that pleases me which is the chaotic time. I think that random things happening in my life is the best way for me to have a good memory of my life and not regretting anything, any decisions that I’ve made. For me the chaotic time is a fun way to live my life, therefore I usually made something exciting happening into my life. I made new friends, and did random things everyday like not doing my homework so that I could get kick out of class (that was the system in my school), or say some funny jokes that will make the whole class laugh or get in trouble as much as possible. I even had fights with the girls in my school (I attended a private catholic school). I was known as the most turbulent student in my school. Now, when I look at my past I laugh at it and remember everything because these moments are engraved in my memory. When I graduated High School I decided to do something new and explore the world. I had two alternatives either going to France or New York. But as New York is known for the party life, I decided to come over here. Now that I’ve been living in New York, I think that I could fall in the teleological time again because this is the life in New York though; most people are always rushing because they don’t want to miss the bus or they’re trying to catch the elevator to get to work on time. Most of them prioritized work over everything. Well I always told myself that “I work to live but I don’t live to work”. I’m not saying that work is not important because why do I go to school for? I go to school to gain knowledge in order to get a good job to be financially independent. But it is just part of my life, not my entire life for God’s sake. I still live in the chaotic time. I go to school, I do work but I do try to make something new happen in my life, this is why my friends usually call me the spontaneous or crazy girl. I have fun and take care of my business at the same time... However, sometimes my life goes back to the teleological and stellar time but I do something random to put just a little spice in my life. I don’t want when I’m a senior to look back at my life and asking myself what I did with it. To go back to Twitter, I think it helps people to put themselves in the chaotic time, even the stellar time, because sometimes people who are afraid to speak express themselves via this social networking site. You find very interesting things and feelings on people’s post. It’s the best way to get in contact with family, friends and other people that you have lost contact with. Twitter changes the life of people which could put these people in the stellar time because it brings those back memories and also happiness by getting in touch with family or friends. I got in touch with people that I thought I would never get in touch with. I was also affected by what peers were writing because I often was in the same situation.

For me, Borges’ garden of forking paths was a very challenging hypertext because I had to go over it many times to understand what the author is trying to explain. He emphasizes on time which is different context for everybody. It was really informative and I think that from it each and everybody can draw on conclusion on how time has affected their lives. About me, this says that life is what you make of your time and how you see the world itself according to perspectives that comes across daily life. Yes, I do find myself running in circle and having any clue where to stop or where to begin. The words which attracts me to this story is “Precisely," said Albert. "The Garden of Forking Paths is an enormous riddle, or parable, whose theme is time. These words really caught my attention.
