...still worth doing. Work will be demanding this year, but I don’t want that to serve as a reason to stop reading poems, plays and theory.

This is one of those things, I suppose, that never really gets done. The moments in which I feel I’ve achieved this goal are shortlived & gone as quickly as they arrive. On the up side, though, they come a little more frequently and stay a little longer every day.
A 4.0 and a double major from an Ivy League university. Needless to say, I’m exceedingly happy. !!!
