if i had a super power, i just decided what i would want it to be. I would want the power to stop time... i guess its not all that super.
the thing is, i want to do so many things right now. i have a reading list thousands of pages long. i want to practice my writing. pracice my speaking. to just work on certain things i need to change to become a better individual in general. i want to take a lot of time to spend alone doing these things, but not have the rest of the world pass me by. and its not that i cant do them with my life proceeding as normal, but i dont have the patience for it. i have been working on the same book for over a week. i love it but i got so frustrated with it taking so long that i have started two other books since and now i am splitting my time between all three.
what prompts me to say this is that its thursday night, im 22 years old and 14 weeks from graduating college. there is no reason i should not go out tonight and have a good time with my friends. but i really want to stay at home and finish at least one of these books tonight. its a real conundrum. ha.
but if i had the power to stop time, i could stop the world and just go on for weeks reading and writing my days away, without classes or work or anything else to interrupt. then i could resume where i left off in the real world with all my new knowledge intact. you gotta admit it would be nice.
finally, i want to say that if my writing is a little convoluted right now, its because i am reading a novel that was translated from French. Translations are never perfect and what i read definitely affects how i write.
p.s. i think im gonna go out after all.
