so a week from now i'll be back in michigan. i have this weird feeling that summer is almost over. like this was my break, and now i have to go back and work. this is mostly justified. i'm starting my independent study on heidegger, i am starting to do debate work again, and i am working at the sdi. sure, i'll have fun, and there won't be class, but still.
i am starting to understand the appeal of those "do nothing" vacations where people go to the woods or the beach or whatever and just relax. thats kind of what i've just been through. i really don't mind it. i think as long as i have access to the internet and good books i'll be ok. i think after more than a month of solitude i am ready to venture back into society. it has been a good experience. completely unexpected, but good. i feel like i am emerging from my cave, a new better person, like zarathustra emerging from the woods and speaking of the ubermench and the eternal return to his disciples, except i will have nothing profound to say to others. i only have profound thoughts about myself, and my priorities.
i'm starting to know what i want in life. it feels good.
