Life, and all that goes with it
Today, I had a nice conversation with Erin. It meant not getting work done, but I needed to talk, as in a real conversation, one that was intelligent, that meant something. No small talk. What's great about her is that we can be really serious and crazy at the same time, plus she's going into education too, so we can talk about methods and not have to explain them. So, we talked about quality education, levels of thinking, and how life is so much more than most people see in it. Everyone walks through life in one of those ways that they only see the surface, once in a while looking deeper and seeing what it is all about. We talked about what we see, every day when we look at life, and how it is different, like this brilliant light (sometimes dark) that makes everything so much clearer. I suppose only that comment would make sense to her. We talked about what we want from life, what we see in the world, what is in the future. It was great to talk about that.
And once we talked about it, I thought about what what I really want in life. Here's what I got so far. I want to go on the history travel study to Paris in the summer, I want to go back to Poland and teach there, I want to go to Ireland and study, I want to get married in July, I want to make a binder of all the books I love complete with themes and summaries, I want to get in shape (I'm terribly fat and my hair is hideous), I want to sit in a coffee shop and find someone to talk about philosophy with, I want to do something daring and unusual, I want to take pictures, I want to write, and I want to publish a young adult books about the Holocaust, abuse, loneliness, depression, and finding your true self. I don't know what I want to do after that, but I'll work on it. What I do know is that I want to work towards these things, that I want to enjoy life, and that I want to focus on my goals before winter is here and I become "alterStacy."
Anyway, so here is what's new. Nothing. I have homework, I have work, dance is started, and I am still sick. But hey, I have a renewed goal, a vision if you will, and I am really going to try to reach for it. I am going to strive not to forget about it, lose it, or get angry because I can't reach it. I am going to do this. I will succeed. Well, that is all that I have for now. I have a ton to think about and I need to get going on this paper that's due tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a wonderful life.
