I must say, without a doubt, never a waiver, not a hesitant thought in me: I’ve been rollercoastering the past week. Exams are stressing but life is pressing and I believe life just took over at some undetermined point.
It would be foolish of us as weak, fragile human beings, ever to refuse the comradery and care of another person just as breakable as ourselves. One of my favorite films has, and will be, About A Boy starring such marvelous beings as Hugh Grant, Rachel Weisz and Toni Collette. I recommend you view it yourself. I’m not one to oversensationalize a film - clearly, they are weak interpretations of life from other weak individuals - but this movie clarifies something I just haven’t witnessed more cleverly grasped by other theatrical works. Each of us is in need of the help of others; it is by nature that we are brought together in communities and groups and clubs and societies and, sadly, but true, fraternities and sororities. Even isolationism is usually something done in groups (think Switzerland pre-new-millennium).
But anyways, it has been a long week and leaving Blacksburg for so long will be straining. Especially since I will be missing the non-football charged semester.
Like I mentioned, exams are done. Woah ::shock:: what were many of my professors thinking? I was delightfully surprised at the Differential Equations final that included one-quarter of its material on topics that were not covered in our curriculum. Mind you, the math department’s “common time” finals are not written by the professors of those classes but rather by higher up, more “divine” math prefects among the VT faculty. Some unknown figure is to blame; he/she remains anonymous.
On a completely unrelated topic, my love for TDI Jettas has been rejuvenated. I was allowed quite an experience being the passenger in one of those fine, still-Alemanically-produced machines. Handles well, accelerates well, fuel economizes well, and “poots” well. The perfect package, I must say. Can anyone say “ultimate Christmas”? Hmm…?
