don't ask. just go. you'll see.

My last final is tomorrow!!! It is very hard holding back the massive sigh of relief about to burst from my lungs. I'll be finished! No summer school(sorry Pip)...just work. Which i don't mind.
So much to do, still. Lots of places to go, people to see...
There are many things i'm looking forward to to reading this summer.
I need to read the last book in C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, finish Mere Christianlty, and Of Other Worlds. I really would love to read The Problem with Pain and The Great Divorce. C.S. Lewis is awesome. I'm so glad i have Treebeard to compare him to, as Tolkien said. That makes him seem all the more wonderful! I'm so glad they were friends! I can't wait to meet both of them someday.
Sigh.
I also want to brush up on my French and Italian, and look into some other languages.
I would like to educate myself in Celtic history, and have bought a couple of books on that.
There are other old dusty hard bound books in my shelf calling to me that i need to get to.
And, of course, as you know, i need to partake in my annual Tolkien immersion...which i am particularly looking forward to. I've been thinking, however, that i might wait until school begins again to do so because it will give me a welcome distraction from homework...seeing as i don't plan on having any major reading classes next semester.
So i'm excited. My only qualm is that i know i can't get to everything. o wells.
You know what else i want to accomplish this summer? Getting some good artwork done. I'm so easily inspired and so slow to produce anything of value. it has become increasingly frustrating. Will i be able to overcome my inner frustrations and be fruitful (as far as the things i've mentioned above) this summer?
God only knows. i love that song.
doo doo doo doo doo...
ba ba ba ba ba baaaa baaa ba ba ba...ba ba baaaa baaaa...ooooh oooooo!
that was me singing. Wasn't it lovely?

Sounds like some substantial Lewis textual nutrition. That Hideous Strength is definitely incredible, and the meager size of The Great Divorce contains ridiculous amounts of profundity...enjoy, then think about reading Charles Williams.
