I'm writing for the sake of writing, letting my mind flow onto the paper through this black ink. Using this to help my mind focus. What was he sayin? DV? What does that mean again? Can't remember, my mind's flowing too quickly. What was that? A study about smokers? Damn, now I want a smoke. I can hardly breathe as it is, may as well make it worse.
Another sip of coffee. It was cold, I put in too much sugar. Tomorrow morning I'll use more milk, less sugar.
Oh look, there's an XKCD comic in his power point. No one laughed. I asked, he doesn't actually read the comic. That doesn't surprise me though. Doesn't seem like he's the type to read webcomics.
Damn, now I'm out of coffee. Hmm... I think I'll have a grape now. Did I put them in my bag? Yes. Ew. The first one tasted kinda gross with the aftertaste of coffee still in my mouth. Second one tasted pretty alright.
Move! You're in front of the board and I can't see! You make a horrible window and I can't see the notes!
Gah, so bored...
I know they say 90% of your dream is forgotten within ten minutes of waking up, but I don't believe it. There are times when I'll be doing something and BLAM, hit with the remenents of a dream. Sometimes it'll be one I haven't had in ages too. Well, I guess 'dream' isn't the right term. They're usually nightmares or bad dreams. Like the one I had last week I still remember freakishly well.
There were zombies, lots of them, and the rest of my team had gone to the basement of the building we were in for shelter. I had to get on the elevator, but it was malfunctioning. It would go up or down a couple levels and then the doors would open. Outside of the doors would be a huge horde of zombies, but they wouldn't attack, they'd just growl at me as I slammed on the 'close door' button. All I wanted was to get to the room or the basement...
Ah shit, class is about to end.
Once again I write to focus my mind. To gather my thoughts and get my brain to start working and doing what I want it to. Are you on yet brain? Are you thinking and concentrating about Siddhartha and these stupid questions we have to answer?
No?
I didn't think so.
Just half an hour more and then freedom. These question will still be waiting to be answered, even after I am free of this place.
Why is it significant that Siddhartha found his peace from the rive and from Vasudeno? I have no fucking clue...
What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom? How can each be gained?
Well I think that you can only gain true wisdom from making your own stupid mistakes, it's not something that someone can teach you. Knowledge, on the other hand, is just information that can be taught by a teacher and learned by a student.
Oh look! An answer! I should put that down. What do you think of it all?
Huh, that really got my mind going. I'll have to do this sort of thing more often. Gotta remember to thank the person that gave me the idea.
And I have to remember to look at movie times. And fold clothes. Gah, my room is such a mess. Should probably get on cleaning that too. Not today though. It's mom's birthday, need to call her and figure out when I'm going to get picked up. Wonder where we'll be going to eat...
Need to get back on that take-home test. Gods, I hope I can get most of it done here.
Stupid Siddhartha.
