Sara's journal

Today I was sitting in the tram once more, picking up the newspaper "20 minutes" that was lying on the seat, scanning the articles for any important news, sitting down in a cafe and checking my emails on my laptop, quickly reading the news online of NZZ, heading back home to turn on the television, listening to the news in the background, reading in my book for some minutes with the television in the background, then heading back to university, entering the office, reading my emails, doing some phone calls, going to a class and talking to some AIESECers at the same time to exchange information and plan our meetings, heading back to the office, doing some phone calls, reading my emails once more, reading about the treaty of lisbonne to prepare my meeting the professor tomorrow, chatting on msn, having people talking to me at the same time and now finally, writing my blog entry.

I'm just wondering how my brain is processing all the information it gets, how my body is dealing with all the external influences like sounds, the cold, the smells and how aware I am of the feelings I'm getting when meeting all those people everyday.

I think it's impressive. I once read, and I don't exactly recall how it was written, but that a person from the 18th century received as much information in his whole life as there is in one newspaper today.

Time for some meditation...
