Murphy wasn't kidding

Why is it that the one week you have to stay home and study is the week everything happens? Well, Rio's annual International Film Festival isn't till September, I'll give you that. My life would be total Chaos if it was. But that doesn't mean the minor Chaos I'm facing right now is easy or simple.

I guess my whole I-can-work-and-go-to-college-and-be-in-two-research-groups idiotic idea is finally getting to me. Next week I have four exams and I'm freaking out.

It seems I'm not freaking out enough, though. I have managed to stop for a few hours minutes to read WaiterRant, my latest online addiction. And the thought of these precious minutes spent is also freaking me out.

This term sucked big time. Academically, that is. It was nothing like I thought it would be, and it made me start to look at college in a totally different perspective. From now on I know I have to understand Law. All of it, and not just the things I like. I know I have to learn, and quit fucking around. I can never do again what I did two terms ago: take only two Law-related subjects out of the seven I picked. I wasted my time, and that's not happening again. I am behind. Way behind in college.

Crap. Need to leave work now.

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
