Dear Ket,
I went home for under 24 hours this weekend, and although it was/is certainly not the best time school-wise to have done this, I left feeling rejuvenated and less crowded/clouded in the brain. Maybe it was the fresh air, the dogs, trees. Or seeing my mother's face form the words she's been sharing over the phone - that she's okay and that people can't help but die. Or just getting my brain off school work -- sometimes I forget that I am even interested in what I'm studying. I process assignments, essays, creative projects in a mechanical fashion now just to get it out of the way. No time for revelation! No time for reflection! I don't feel very connected to what I am supposed to enjoy; perhaps it's analogous to living in close quarters with your best friend. Hm. This has brought me to the conclusion that I could just as easily be a ROBOTICS student. Is this what happens? Do you eventually learn to detest that which you once loved by sheer overexposure? Mert.
Needing some perspective via travels.
X's and O's,
Kate
P.S. Do I need a license to ride a raft in open waters?
