I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies In summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair. I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see. For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door.

-J.R.R. Tolkien, from The Fellowship of the Ring

7 Days...

Well, I really haven't done much this weekend. On Thursday evening I went to my school to watch the musical Once Upon A Mattress. I was supposed to go with Heather, Brian, and Ashley, but Heather got grounded, so she couldn't go. So me, Brian, and Ashley all sat together, but Nicole was there also. She was sitting up in the balcony, though. We got to talk during intermission, though, so it wasn't terrible. Anyway, the musical was good, and I saw a bunch of my friends (and yes, Wilson was there!!)
But before I went I had to do a project for English over 'The Old Man and the Sea'. I had to do a poster comparing/contrasting Hemingway and Santiago, and then I had to write an essay about it. Yeah, I was bored with it. I liked the book in some ways because it was packed with literary analogies and symbolism and stuff, but as a book, it wasn't amazing. I lived through it, though.
So I really haven't done much of anything this weekend. In fact, I stayed in my pj's all day today. Mom went to the store earlier this afternoon, but I stayed home while the girls napped. So, I guess that's been the highlight of my week!
AND ONLY 7 MORE SCHOOL DAYS LEFT 'TIL THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!
