Feeding My Intellectual Side.

As I seem to be having a weekend completely alone, I'm cruising the TV for movies to occupy my mind.

This morning, I came home from class and decided to make some spaghetti and tea. As I was waiting on my spaghetti to be ready, I was surfing channels when I came across the movie rendition of my favorite Shakespeare play, Hamlet. As it runs until 1 this afternoon, I'll have something to occupy my time.

I guess I'll be feeding my intellectual side for a little bit. I studied the play in my senior year of high school, and fell in love with it. I wrote one of my best informative research essays, researching the role of character foils, with it.

I do enjoy more intellectual pursuits, such as literature and solving algebraic equations for the hell of solving them. I just don't normally dive into my intellectual persona, as it drives me to cynical, critical thinking as well as periods of isolation while I focus on my train of thoughts.

But as I have a lonely weekend ahead of me, it won't hurt anybody's feelings if I tune out the world, and everybody in it, for a while.

For the next three days, only I exist. Nobody else.

I'll come back to reality on Monday.

Farewell until then.
