Day Sixteen
Finally. I have an hour left of the day, and I’ve been rushing to get all my items packed before my trip tomorrow. I hate when I forget anything I could possibly need (sometimes I don’t even posses the item), but I try to be prepared for everything. I do, however, have one problem. I am very lazy. I expect every time of clothing to jump off the shelf, fold itself somewhat and find its way into my bag. Oh wait. I first have to call on the divine spirits to find that travel bag.
Currently, I am trying to juggle updating my iPod, packing, getting my study material in order and trying to hide the fact that I haven’t had a good night’s rest in a very long time. Fatigue is setting in and I can hardly concentrate long enough to be able to write today’s blog. I’m not sure if I should end off here, and feel disappointed that I was unable to get some provoking thought out on paper, or just not care and rest!
Somehow I think staring at my monitor for longer won’t help.
I have, however, had a very interesting day. There are some people in my life that, when I truly sit down and think about it, spending a life time with them isn’t enough. The more I open up to people, the more I realize how amazing they truly are, and the hours in the day just seem too little to be able to fit in all the time I actually want to spend with them. That would be like trying to take all the real numbers between one and infinity, stacking them up on top of each other, and trying to sit on them without falling off the end of the world. Or even trying to see the world, for that matter. The world would marvel at that capability though. There just would be no point to it.
Similarly, there is no point in trying to shove a whole lifetime of memories into a few hours and try to keep it contained. Experiences take time. Although I am caught between extreme logic – to let things play out in the time that it should, and by intense emotion – wanting everything to happen now, in a short period of time, I honestly think that a bit of both never hurt anyone from realizing they are human.
(For those math freaks reading this, there are actually many natural numbers between 0 and infinity as there are real numbers between 0 and 1.)
