Tomorrow marks the beginning of Finals. The next three days will be a frenzy to produce the highest quality of work, and regurgitate as much as possible, in the most limited amounts of time. Welcome to college.
I went out to dinner with Scott, girl girlfriend, and his ma and pa today. Awesome people. His dads a swell guy. He’s writing a book (for the past five years) and was explaining how he made a breakthrough for the first time in two years. His book revolved around a bunch of kids always getting into trouble, getting out of trouble, getting into trouble, getting outta trouble, etc. He was explaining how its so easy to get characters into a mess. Like Houdini, its easy to wrap and chain and box him up and throw him into the freezing river. The hard part is the escape. It needs to be a little more clever than simply helicopters coming to the rescue, or a convenient ammo dump they stumble upon to blow through their antagonists. No, it needs to be clever. He shed light on how he got his characters out of the bind. Interesting man.
Anyway… The dinner cuisine was exquisite. We ate in a 17th century manor home turned inn. Beautiful white washed columns in a pantheon like style. The home was entirely timberframed. Fine art was spread from wall to wall. Quite charming.
I have alot of homework to do at the moment. Actually a lot of studying. I wish I didn’t feel so much pressure with only a few days of school to go. Alright, I’m off. Wish me luck 🙂
