I was reading for english which is actually pretty funny because I never read in high school but I kind of have to here. Anyway, we're reading The Sun Also Rises. I decided that I might have a new favorite quote ever.
"It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing."
We were talking about how Hemingway's writing hits close to home for the reader. I agree. It's not something you need to look deeply into to understand. It's just something everybody has felt at one time or another. And it's real. So I like it.
Hmmmmm things were kind of rough earlier this week. But hey, like that song says, "I get by with a little help from my friends." I'd have to say that it's pretty true even if it sounds cliche and dumb.
I'm going home this weekend.
I miss the ocean.
I miss my family.
I miss my dog.
I miss my bed.
I miss privacy.
I love my island and my home.
What's funny is that I'm probably going to want to leave after 20 minutes. But you know, you win some you lose some.
So that's what's been going on. I hope you're all doing excellently.
