hi everybody.

how's it been?

i haven't updated this thing in around a week's time, i know, but i can explain.

[work.

soc paper.

abbi.

other schoolwork.]

the four things that have ruled my life up to this point.

i don't necessarily care about them in that order.  that's just how they came to me.

if you care, a revised list:

1) abbi
2) soc paper

actually, those are the only things out of the list that i really do care about.  abbi's a given.  the soc paper i actually gave a little time to because, for the first time, i was able to write an insightful paper on something i actually care about (poverty) as opposed to some ingram/murray/fias-assigned piece about literature's many perspectives and how they apply to life and what we can take from them.

whatever.

in all honesty, i put literature in the same category as other works of art and things that demand thinking - it's a personal experience.

what did i think the country doctor meant?

well, i thought it was about how much faith people put in modern medicine, turning them into shamans or demi-gods.

or something.

it might've been something completely different to someone else.

i wouldn't know, because i didn't read for them.

reading a book or a poem or whatever should be an inetensely "you" experience.  no one else can read the poem like you, no one else can read it and get the same feelings you get from it.

writing is a wholly unique form of communication, and should be treated as such.

maybe i just don't feel like having a ten page report written in around five days' time, but that's how i feel.

what else do i feel?

well, i miss abbi, of course.  she worked last night, i work this night.  hopefully, thursday will be a mutually-free day, because i can say in all honesty, there's no one i'd rather spend my time with.

present company (ie, whoever's reading this - steph, michelle, amber, whoever) excluded.

i have to go get ready for school now.  i just wanted to get something up, since the ladies been pestering me about a new entry.

have a pleasant day.  i'll see all of you at school.
