"Only here . . .each insect carries a globe of the world in his head, and the webs of the forest are schemes evolved for the smooth conduct of business; and honey is treasure of one sort and another; and the stir in the air is the indescribable agitation of life" (Virginia Woolf, Jacob's Room, Chapter 12, link)
trying to wrap up my final paper, which is centered on this idea of "the indescribable agitation of life."
i think most people can relate to finals being stressful... in the past i've been able to talk myself through it. i've told myself, stress doesn't change the fact that the work needs to get done. stress or not, time will pass and someday I'll be on the other side. worrying doesn't help me meet my goals.
not always easy, though. i have to keep working on this. have to take a break and chill for a bit. get to bed on time. eat real food.
twelve hours from now, this will be behind me.
and in the meantime, this "indescribable agitation of life" idea is pretty cool i guess.
ryan asked me earlier if i wanted an egg and i said egguess.
and then he made us an incredible dinner starring eggs (heart eyes)
