There might be a day when I would go back to the comforts of routine, of newspaper stains on my fingers every morning, paydays, taxes, visits to the dentist, monthly bills; a day when I might go back to the monotony of lists and schedules.
There might be a day when I would I would neatly arrange books and DVDs on a shelf, by author and genre; a day when I would put old notebooks into neat labeled boxes and then tie the boxes with a string; a day when I would only remember things I want to remember.
There might be a day when I would buy a suitcase that I would fill with sighs and hopes, that I would abandon in a train, leaving it trapped between the tyranny of clocks and railways.

sounds like a Kris Kristofferson song...
calculus will be calculus, regardless of its level.
happy 100th post! :)
@Metamorphosis: Because things can be easy and difficult at the same time. And I am fond of oxymorons.
@Lance: I had to Wiki Kris Kristofferson. I'm afraid I have to resort to more entries like these in the following days, to avoid unnecessary emo-ness.
@geek: thanks. calculus is still calculus, i will remember that.
I'm in favor of more emo!
i hope your day comes.
@Lance: Oh no, no, you don't want me to go turbo emo.
@Nyl: I need divine intervention. Unfortunately, I am not Catholic.
you dont need to be a Catholic for divine intervention.;)
you also don't need to be divine for Catholic intervention.
@geek and lance: actually, there was divine intervention. well, sort of. in the form of a movie I saw again recently on TV. :D
