The sink of life October 16, 2003...Good Lord, how can it be that late in the semester already? You'd think I'd have noticed that it was midterm time, but I've been too busy studying! That means there's only another 8 weeks until finals! I'm feeling like I'm barely keeping my head above water in my classes. Like I'm so busy not drowning that I haven't had a chance to learn to swim. Good analogy, hey? I thought of it in class today. Really though, I don't think I'm cut out to be a geologist. There's too much grey. Not enough "right" answers. However, I'm close enough to finishing this degree that I'm not about to give up now. Much as I might want to. I was sitting in a computer lab on campus today trying to study when a girl behind me said "I love washing dishes. I'd rather wash dishes than study." That's definitely one of the more interesting and thought provoking things I've heard in my time at university. Really...would you rather wash dishes than study? I would. Dishwashing is such a contemplative activity. And relaxing, if you've got the right dishes. Not so dirty you have to scrub anything or that they lose their food to the dish water and you have a shit load of floaties in there. I think life would be a lot more pleasant if you could have your hands in warm water while you lived it. |
