The Leaves, Like Women, Interchange

"The leaves, like women, interchange

Sagacious confidence;

Somewhat of nods, and somewhat of

Portentous inference

The parties in both cases

Enjoining secrecy,-

Inviolable compact

To notoriety."

-Emily Dickinson

Just enjoying some poetry by one of my favorite poets, Emily Dickinson! You know it's good literature when the work is timeless. I think most of her poems still hold true today. At least, people can relate to them. The poem I was referring to in the title is about the different natures that women can have in relation to leaves, in my opinion at least. I mean that's one reason I love poetry; you can interpret it in so many ways. I was reading her works on Bartleby.com, which is a great website to read a variety of literature from books to poetry, non-fiction and fiction alike.

As for how my day went, it was filled with catching up with homework and studying. For me, that's actually not the worst way to spend a day because I feel really productive. I even made a trip to the A.C.E. center for some career counseling. It was helpful, and I have to admit that I learned a few things about myself. One fun thing I did was make flan in the community kitchen. I was sort of wary of using it because it's not the cleanest place ever, but I managed to do it with limited contact to any surfaces. I'm always looking for fun things to do, and I enjoy cooking so I had to work with what I had. It all worked out well, and it came out pretty tasty. Most important thing about today would have to be that tomorrow is already Thursday! Time flies when you are really busy!
