August 13, 2000 ~ What Is There to Lose?

I have an overwhelming urge to sleep for days on end. I think the fact that this is my last week of academic irresponsibility has a lot to do with it.

I love classes, reading, learning, and writing papers, but I don't love the stress and utter absence of free time that all of those things bring with them. I will miss reading for pleasure and writing whatever I want. I will miss having time for an occasional movie. I will miss having time to get adequate sleep, and even taking an occasional afternoon nap. I will miss having time to be just plain lazy.

Ah well. There is a purpose in all of this.
