I read a book over the summer. It's by John Dewey and it's called Experience and Education... "Plato once defined a slave as the person who executes the purposes of another [...] a person is also a slave who is enslaved to his own blind desires." Anyway, it sounds very much like something else about being a slave I have read. I was considering the concept of slavery this week. Everyone is a slave to someone or something, and everyone worships someone or something. I have yet to determine what those things are for me.

Another thing I realized this weekend that surprised me... Winter quarter will be the first quarter I haven't had an educational reason for attending Fed Hock since Freshman year. It kind of freaked me out. I even considered rearranging my schedule, taking a Methods class early so that I'd have a reason to be at the school next quarter. (I'm still considering it.) It just made me sad, and I'm already sad because I took myself out of the school for the last two weeks of the quarter... They recommend that so that we can focus on our finals and stuff, but now I just miss school. Tomorrow I asked Mrs. Coble if I could go watch the kids' presentations... It's my last day. I have become keenly aware of brevity.
