Absolutely Serious

The good, the bad, and the dirty.

I performed well on my Math exam and with that said I feel like I aught to celebrate some. I have realized that I have not been farther then a 1 mile radius of this campus for over a month. My friends complain about not being able to go anywhere or do whatever they want because they don't have a car, but I feel the opposite. I am very used to being in one place for an extended amount of time, but that is always remedied by my summer time excursions out into the wilderness.

The wilderness truly refreshes me on a level that I can not explain. I feel like, if I had no cares in the world - that is the home that I would choose for myself. Specifically the Sierra Nevada or maybe the Andes in Chile. Those two places are aesthetically two of my most favorite places that I have only been able to enjoy through pictures. I WILL GO one day when I can afford to.
I love the fresh smell of pine trees and earth minerals. I cherish the fact that I always manage to awaken with the sun, and sleep by the sizzles and crackling of a dieing camp fire. The instinctual fear that perpetuates my soul knowing that I am in the land of the free and the wild, brings a natural yet not overbearing fear inside of me, but I still feel safe and trust that I will awaken once again the next morning.
I have been reading Jack London these past few weeks. I have been making very slow progress on the book, particularly because I have so much other readings to complete, but soon I will finish White Fang. I just completed The call of the wild, I really liked it.
