I'm glad to see that thus far, NEWTS haven't been as difficult as our professors are fond of telling us. That's good; I wouldn't enjoy finishing my schooling with failure.

[Or maybe he's just too smart for his own good. In your face.]I've still yet to decide what I'll do after the school year ends and I've gone back to France -- that, a least,

Planning ahead is silly, you're absolutely right.

[dofaye]

I don't think we're talking about the same thing, though.

[donttelldaddy]

Oh, of course we are. I don't know what I want to do tomorrow, much less a year from now. I wouldn't expect you to.

[dofaye]

Yes, but in your case that means that you're likely to make dangerous choices. And have I ever been one to expose myself to danger?

[donttelldaddy]

The vote of confidence is much appreciated.

[dofaye]

All I mean to say is that we're very different. It's not bad, it just... is.

[donttelldaddy]

I'm not making dangerous choices, Jules.

[dofaye]

I'm glad. Does that mean you'll be staying put in life until something comes up?

[donttelldaddy]

I don't know, I've yet to decide.

[dofaye]

Even that's too much to ask, eh?

[donttelldaddy]

I don't tether myself by making decisions when I don't need to.

[dofaye]

That's just like you to say, Lili.

[donttelldaddy]

I thought that it was common sense.

[dofaye]

Not at all, I believe many would disagree with that.

[donttelldaddy]

And they all let themselves be scared into a decision that they don't really want.

[dofaye]

For some situations, any decision is better than none.

-- but I still agree with you. Why am I bothering to argue?
