Done with another week. It was a whole day shorter, but at least twice as exhausting. I feel like I tried to stretch myself too thin. Too many thoughts are on my mind right now. Why can't I just stop thinking for a little while? Don't worry about me, though. This is nothing that I can't handle....I'm just very tired. Watched a movie earlier with Italia; we saw The Notebook, and now I'm all mopey. That was a really sad movie! This being my first time watching it, I had NO idea what it was going to be like! Later tonight, it looks like I'll be watching another movie with some of the guys. That'll be nice. As much as I need my girl time, I also need my guy time. Sometimes, I feel like life is less complicated when you're the lone girl surrounded by a group of your guy friends. It's just nice. Growing up with a brother and no sisters, I find that sometimes, I just need some guy time.
Going to spend the weekend in the library, I think. Curl up in one of my favorite sections, kick off my shoes, and just spend some time with the books and the solitude. Sometimes, there's nothing better than curling up with a good book and just allowing your mind to wander wherever it wants to go. Right now, I'm reading The Return of Don Quixote by G.K. Chesterton, which so far has absolutely nothing to do with the infamous "Man of La Mancha". Not to say I'm not enjoying it.....but I am curious as to the title, since that kinda was the reason I picked this book out of nine shelves of Chesterton's writings.
I think I'd like to live in a library. Just wander around the shelves quiet and content. There would never be an end to the books I could read. And I could sleep on the floor, starring up at the ceiling and dreaming of my favorite literary heroes as I drift off to sleep. Either a library or a lighthouse. I guess I'm just feeling a little antisocial tonight. I'm constantly thinking of solitude.
The dining hall food has been a disappointment. As a result, I'm not really eating much. Looks like I'll be losing some weight, haha. More updates to come as the week goes on. I think I'll try and make a point to at least publish something on Fridays, though.
Have a nice weekend, y'all!
The lone girl with the pack of boys is the best. I revel in it, haha! Also, you should've known the Notebook was gonna stink. It's Nicholas Sparks, hey. :P All books by him with movies based on them stink. (But I love a Walk to Remember, mostly because my 14-year-old self did.)
ReplyDeleteenjoy the library!
ReplyDeleteChess,
ReplyDeleteNormally I'm not a huge fan of his writing, but I did enjoy reading "The Guardian". This was was just too sad!
Thanks, Sarah!
I know you prefer to be alone but let me come in to your library and dreaming my literary heroes with you.
ReplyDeleteIt has been along time that I know nowhere to sleep and dream..
Sonia, I would be honored if you would join me in my library. Dreaming of literary heroes with someone else is twice as wonderful as dreaming by yourself.
