I just had the most bizarre thought cross my mind a moment ago. I was reading a manga and said, "Oh if I could only have those set of problems instead of these!" How selfish and pathetic that is. It's the thorns that make the rose beautiful...hmm... that is slightly bleak... It's the rose that stems from the thorns that make it beautiful. That's better, but long.
Anyway, I had my first night. I don't know what to think of it. I'm sure my impressions will be made vocal later on as I do the reading and work. I forget that I have homework to do now. It is the farthest from my mind.... I feel so lazy, so adamantly lazy. I need to slap my brain with prestigious books. /sigh Tomorrow I shall start!
Goodbye children stories, goodbye my shallow thinking and reflections! I did enjoy your languid freedom...
I still have no intention of getting a job after this.

Self-Reliance -Emerson
"If our young men (and women) miscarry in their first enterprises, they lose all heart. If the young merchant fails, men (and women) say she is RUINED. If the finest genius studies at one of our colleges, and is not installed in an office within one year afterwards in the cities or suburbs of Boston or New York, it seems to her friends and to herself that she is right in being disheartened, and in complaining the rest of her life. A sturdy lass from New Hampshire or Vermont, who in turn tries all the professions, who TEAMS IT, FARMS IT, PEDDLES, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always, like a cat, falls on her feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. She walks abreast with her days, and feels no shame in not 'studying a profession,' for she does not postpone her life, but lives already. She has not one chance, but a hundred chances." |
here we go!
