Ithaca
When you set out for Ithaka
ask that your way be long,
full of adventure, full of instruction.
The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops,
angry Poseidon - do not fear them:
such as these you will never find
as long as your thought is lofty, as long as a rare
emotion touch your spirit and your body.
The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops,
angry Poseidon - you will not meet them
unless you carry them in your soul,
unless your soul raise them up before you.
Ask that your way be long.
At many a Summer dawn to enter
with what gratitude, what joy -
ports seen for the first time;
to stop at Phoenician trading centres,
and to buy good merchandise,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
and sensuous perfumes of every kind,
sensuous perfumes as lavishly as you can;
to visit many Egyptian cities,
to gather stores of knowledge from the learned.
Have Ithaka always in your mind.
Your arrival there is what you are destined for.
But don't in the least hurry the journey.
Better it last for years,
so that when you reach the island you are old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to give you wealth.
Ithaka gave you a splendid journey.
Without her you would not have set out.
She hasn't anything else to give you.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka hasn't deceived you.
So wise you have become, of such experience,
that already you'll have understood what these Ithakas mean.

This is why I will miss Classics.
Congratulations, everyone, for making it through another semester (or two quarters).

I know that eventually this will get better. Eventually, I'll look back and think, wow I was so unnecessarily emo.
But that won't be for a long, long while, I think. I apologize for the emo, guys, I really do. I also hate myself like this.
I wish I hadn't given you so much of myself. I'm not even me anymore.
I really thought we would have made it. Goes to show how delusional hope can make you.

He'll get a warning sign to keep his distance
From her old man
From her old man
Now the story of forbidden love is going to make a stand
So in the middle of the early morning
They slip away
They slip away
And we know they'll do their best
Somewhere in the golden west
Oh yeah
We'll watch them try
They're so alive

Ah, high school.
Does anyone even remember what they did? I have totally forgotten.
Wow. Must be growing up.
Or, you know, maybe my memory's just depreciating and it's not so much growing UP as growing OLD.

MOVING THE FB MEME TO LJ
Rules:
* Grab the book closest to you. Now.
* Go to page 56.
* Find the 5th sentence.
* Write that sentence as your status in an entry.
* Copy these instructions as a comment to your status into the entry.
* Don't go looking for your favorite book, or the coolest one you have -- just grab the closest one
"I hated that I felt suddenly unsure about this."
Man I kind of wish that sentence were longer. Anyway, everyone who wants to, play along! And maybe guess where that sentence is from?
