.I'm getting bored with this culture
I am thinking too hard today. Right, now the way I see it, there will be a lot of "before 25" goals I won't be able to achieve. I feel sort of trapped in my job, class, student government schedule...when will I travel? Toronto is tempting me to do dumb things. Buying things, for example. It's becoming a daily struggle to convince myself of the things I don't need. I'm tired of cell phones, ipods, and bigger better things that are only dollars away. I like my classes, but I want to get out and do something. Today, it's raining hard on campus. I walk a lot, so I've been wet all day. I've noticed people running full pelt across campus to stay dry. Up north, wet was unavoidable...and I learned that there is little point running from it. What else am I missing? I eat, sleep, and learn in little brick boxes that keep me from the wild, wet world of pavement and manicured lawns Toronto is. I've lost interest in what kept me useless last year, but people don't get it. I'm so tired of seeing ads all the time. I'm tired of the bright lights and distractions that keep me from contemplating God. I miss Peterborough, I miss the North, and I want a broader view of Canada.
