But the point is, I'm bringing as little as possible meaning no computer. Goodbye modern world! Goodbye civilization! Hello beautiful hikes and abandoned castles and Lochness monster. I will take pictures I promise!
So recently I've had this weird thing happen where instead of getting songs stuck in my head I am getting shakespeare monologues and soliloquies stuck in there. Kind of annoying when I'm trying to focus on something and hamlet is running through my head... Anyways I blame my high school english teacher. He made us memorize all that stuff forever ago and by some miracle it's all still in there! Fully intact! I had no idea until I started reading all these plays again and found I could quote them perfectly. (Difficult to do without sounding pretentious so usually just in my head) Good old useless information... just kidding I secretly love it. Part of me still wishes I were an english major. Shhh don't tell my sociology teachers :-)
Anyways, here's a piece from macbeth that I've been thinking about lately. It's about time, which always seems to be getting away from me...
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing!
Kind of dark. I promise I'm not depressed :-) But I just love it.
Also, we had a tea party today! I can't do a post with no pictures! Especially considering most of you probably don't read what I write. Oh well. This is my substitute for journal writing at the moment so no obligations or anything.
We decided to do a tea party in hyde park for all the people who are having birthdays while we're here! This is the layout. Everyone contributed something. It actually worked out because most of us had food we wanted to get rid of since we're leaving for the week.
This is my contribution. I cut up some carrots and my friend, kristen, made the dip.
Mango mandarin tea...delicious
The party tree!
Kind of an awkward picture of me but it's the only one. Ah well, you work with what you've got.
Until next week!
