All Hail Nerds

For we shall inherit the Earth. Today I am basking in the joy that is loving books, loving school, and loving my calling to be a teacher. I feel like the highest calling we have as humans, besides our Christian duty, is to be well educated. I want my learning experience to be life long and never ending. If I haven't learned something new today then today has been wasted. I have been re-reading Anne of Green Gables (the entire series, not just the first book) and finding myself wishing that my outlook on life was similar to Anne's. It is days like today that I truly wish I had my childhood imagination back. Boy, it was a wondrous thing. The fun my sister and I used to have playing together. It simply cannot be reproduced.

I love the feeling of empowerment that school gives me. Last week I was in the ditches of despair almost literally due to the writing of my Master's Thesis, but this week it seems as though I have been reawakened. I want to travel and live an unusual life. I suppose I signed up for that when I married a Korean though. My fridge will NEVER smell the same. These are a few of my favorite pictures I have collected (aka stolen from Google) over the past years.

My greatest joy is in experiencing the freedom that life can bring

and of being continually with the one I love

while never losing that spark that drew us to one another.

Well, I am in a very expository mood which I am sure will soon be squelched by my Research methods class. I don't have to work tonight and this instills a huge amount of happiness and frantic joy in my heart. I can CLEAN my apartment now! Because of all the doubles I worked this weekend, our apartment looks like it combusted internally. I almost can't wait to vacuum.
