Things to Do

I made the picture of Concordia from a previous post the background picture on my computer. It looks cool! 

I have a lot of things to do today. My goal is to work twelve hours--a real twelve hours, not a half-baked kinda sorta 12 hours. 

My biggest impediment to hard work is songs on YouTube. If there ever was a music addict, it's me. Sometimes I can't stop listening to the same song for weeks on end. 

I want to learn things, too, not just work! I also want to go hiking. There are parks and trails all around where I currently live. If I work hard today, maybe I can steal some time to go hiking this weekend. I could write out a Wordsworth poem on piece of paper, take it with me, and memorize it on the trail! That would be fun!

When a line from a poem comes back to you years later, you can kind of take it out and unfold it and lovingly turn it over in your mind once more, like opening an old letter from a friend.
