Because procrastination is key.
I should be reading the 386 page Isobutane Refrigeration dissertation piece in preparation for my conference call with GE executives next week.
But I'm not.
Clearly.
Instead, remember back some months ago when I did a form of a journal entry with lyrics to songs to explain my life? Well, I'm gonna do that again. But this time around, however, I’m gonna try it with quotations I like. So here it is:
Study Abroad - Semester @ Sea:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
School:
“It’s weird. People always say you change when you go to college but I guess you don’t really realize it until after it’s already happened.”
New York City:
“New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But there is one thing about it - once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough.”
Manchester:
“When I’m at school in the city, I don’t feel particularly worldly or wise. It’s only when I come back home that I remember exactly why I left.”
High School:
“Sometimes you need to make a big mistake to figure out how to make things right. Mistakes are painful but they are the only way to find out who you really are.”
Family:
“It's the little moments that make life big.”
First Love:
“We're both such magnificent liars.”
Last Relationship:
“You’re my good feeling.”
Wag Pals/TKS Girls:
“I want to erase my past with a hand swipe. Stop my pulse beat and live. Feel the world shake and know my heart won’t break. I want to cry for a reason, let the tears roll to appease me. See the world from another angle. Let love leave me drenched and tangled. I want to misunderstand and get it. Move from one exotic delirium to a delirious dream. I want it to be easy, but more complicated than it may seem. I want to be enlightened, but just as pure as ever. Know we weren’t meant be, but still feel the fever. Open old wounds for the hell of it. Settle for nothing less than butterflies. Fly away to leave everything. Move back to have nothing. Breathe in life and have it all.”
Manch Pals:
“The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”
Work (Postal Center):
“Work is more fun than fun.”
Summer Internship in DC:
“Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.”
So there you have it.
And I really should go read this thing seeing as I am only on page 123 and it has to be finished and the important points typed by Monday afternoon.
But I'm not.
