On Libraries and Other Such Pleasantries.

I am in one of those moods again. One of those moods where I feel bad that I haven't written in a while. One of those moods where I feel like going into a warm rustic room where it smells of old books, and getting lost in literature for a few hours. In that room i would sit for hours drinking coffee and filling my mind with such works as Sherlock Holmes and some of the various writings of Charles Dickens. But the thing i would like the most would be a fireplace that would happen to be in the corner. it would give an overall golden hue to the room and fill it with warmth as well as give it a homey feel. The comfy chair i would take residence within would truly be a great asset. Just to forget homework, and relax while getting lost in the world of Dickens, C.S. Lewis and others...perfectly blissful. Away from all of the technology for even a moment. Oh, to have that room at hand at any given time of day. To just be able to put life on hold for a while and have a few minutes of escape to quiet solitude. Well. If wishes were fishes, we'd have no place to swim. So, for now i'll push that cozy room into the back of my mind and live my life. that room is not a place i have actually visited, but a compilation of all the things i would wish for in a personal library. a comfy chair, a fireplace in the corner that never goes out, an ever so soft golden hue, a good cup of coffee, an endless supply of literature. oh, how i need a short escape. schoolwork seems to never end. things have been better. grades frustrate me to no end. not that they are bad. it's simply irritating to have our knowledge measured by such a narrow scale. fall break was wonderful. too much to do, and not nearly enough time to do it in. i'm going to give you three things, you can only choose two of them. -catching up on all of the sleep lost in the semester, -spending time with friends you see a few times a year, -being able to cook for the first time in...over two months. did you pick two? no, you picked all three didn't you? so did i. however, it really isnt possible. unless you count the naps in the car while going from place to place. and the naps on the beach. goodness, you would think that breaks are for relaxation. quite the opposite from my experience. breaks. the ever consistent conundrum. how the heck am i supposed to have a relaxing life when i know all of these...people? lordy i would go crazy without them. they all mean so much to me. my hall. my friends. my brothers. my sisters. i see them as practically my family. Well, things are going well. busy, but well. next semester is slowly coming into view, even though it is so far off. the rest of this semester doesn't really even seem like it's going to happen. it just seems like it's the very distant future. it's almost the weekend. thursday is torture. it's taunting me. the weekend is taunting me. i don't like it. it saddens me that i must wait an entire day until the weekend. an entire day? is it possible for me to wait that long!? if you didn't catch the sarcasm there i'm afraid there is no hope for you. homework looms in the all too close future, as does poetry night on first belz. i must attend to both. until next time my dear.
