Thoughts

I have been thinking what my perfect day would be like. Not necessarily just one day, but a whole string of them. This is going to sound like I'm the cheesiest and laziest person alive when I say this, but I'm willing to risk it.
I want to be a professional student. I love going to class and I love to learn! I wish someone would just give me a bunch of money and send me to school for the rest of my life. I wouldn't necessarily have to get a degree, unless there is a doctorate in general studies. I want to take a pottery class, fibers, French, African history, baking, cake decorating, graphic design, and underwater basketweaving. I mean, if it was offered to me, I would do it. I know, I know, I can still learn about things even if I don't have a class on it. But there's something about going to a class that's inspiring. It's motivating to be taught a subject by someone who is passionate about it. Take for example my Shakespeare class. I LOATHE Shakespeare, but my professor thinks it is simply amazing, so as she teaches, her enthusiasm rubs off. This is the first part of my string of perfect days: start taking some really cool, obscure classes and not have to worry about money or working.
The second part is where the laziness comes in. On days like today, when I am just blah, I want to go to some exotic foreign country and lay in a hammock. I would like to go to Fiji or Seychelles or off the coast of Kenya or somewhere perpetually sunny and warm and lay in a hammock under palm trees. I would drink Pina Colodas and listen to the waves and the faraway strings of a ukelele plinking away. I would read my really cool books and learn things about Jesus, Africa, relationships, and people. (I would still be learning, even though I wouldn't be in a class per se.) Then I would go fishing and catch exoctic and delicious fish for dinner and roast it over an open fire.
So on days like today, I like to think about laying in a hammock, feeling completely rested, tan, and, quite frankly, smart from all the reading.
Back to reality now....
