That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world!

Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!

We both had done the math. Kelly added it all up and… knew she had to let me go. I added it up, and knew that I had… lost her. ‘cos I was never gonna get off that island. I was gonna die there, totally alone. I was gonna get sick, or get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control was when, and how, and where it was going to happen. So… I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I - , I couldn’t even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over *nothing*. And that’s when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that’s what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I’m back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass… And I’ve lost her all over again. I’m so sad that I don’t have Kelly. But I’m so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

Christine: So strange I was also looking to put up a castaway quote, and I just found it after seeing yours.

The best thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.

Finally!

This was one of those crazy weekends where I had so much to do and so little time. I’m really happy though because I’ve finally managed to pick out my 15 psychology graduate schools…well sorta I have to ask my Prof. for a last minute decision between Syracuse and Kansas. Anways, here is the list in no particular order:

1. Berkeley

2. Columbia University

3. Duquesne University

4. Fordham University

5. Kansas/Syracuse

6. Kent State University

7. Lehigh University

8. Maryland University

9. NYU

10. North Carolina State University

11. Penn State

12. SUNY Buffalo

13. Temple University

14. Virginia University

15. Wisconsin, Madison

I’m still torn between my choice of location and the program’s fit for me. Both are huge factors to consider, and as much as I want to be in the city, it would be my dream to go to Wisconsin Madison. We shall see what happens.

Someone showed me this recently, its been ages since I’ve seen it. It never loses its effect though.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
