Interesting things I've learned these past days.

While bored at work at my school's library, I thought that I'd do some reading for a change. I found this really old book by Robert Lynd (1921), and the title really caught my attention. It read, "The Pleasure of Ignorance." I was always taught that ignorance sucked and that knowledge was the 'key' to success. But what I gathered was that, ignorance is bliss for the very reason of discovery. Can you remember how you felt when you first solved a really hard math problem on your own. Really smart right!? Had it not been for ignorance, you wouldn't have experienced the joy of finally being in the 'know.'
Sometimes we probably shouldn't rush knowing things before its time, because then we lose out on the fun. I don't know everything just yet, and to me, that's truly the joy of living:)

So, I have been anticipating the summer holidays for some time, shoot, I even made a calender, posted it on my wall, and crossed off the days, even before they were completely through. Now that they are finally here, I feel way less excited than I expected. I prefer the feeling I had knowing that they were so close than actually having them, I guess many things in life are like that. Crushes, new shoes, your order at Burger King for instance. But, I vow to make the very best of the time I have. Hopefully blogging will help to form my summer success.
Toast to the first of many posts to come and to the most awesome self-made summer.
