-A Thought-
"Dig a hole in your back yard while it is raining. Sit in the hole, while the water climbs up around your ankles. Pour cold mud down your shirt collar. Sit there for forty-eight hours. And so there is no danger of your dozing off, imagine that a guy is sneaking around waiting for a chance to club you on the head, or set your house on fire. Get out of the hole, fill a suit case full of rocks, pick it up; put a shotgun in your other hand, and walk on the muddiest road you can find. Fall flat on you face every few minutes, as you imagine big meteors streaking down to sock you. If you repeat this performance every three days, for several months, you may begin to understand why an Infantryman gets out of breath. But you still won't understand, how he feels when things get tough."
-Bill Mauldin
-And An Update-
Well, college is going normal. If you would like to have a mental image, picture an ant colony. If you've ever observed an ant colony, you will notice that there always seems to be something going on; they always seem busy. Well, at college, it's just like an ant hill, except every one is too busy on their cell phones or talking about things that don't matter, that they have a hard time paying attention in class. There just a bunch of shirks. As Mark Twain rightly said, "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."
