monoceros blogsLast day of November in 2004. Exactly two weeks of school left. I can feel the gun against my temple. Watch me write 45 pages in two weeks. Watch me stay up till the hour before dawn breaks. Watch me submit fellowship applications and not get any offers (why am I still applying?). Watch me grade more papers than I've ever graded in the past semester. When it's all over, then maybe I'll start getting into the Christmas groove.
It's the 30th of November today, and I'm splitting the skin on the backs of my fingers with my typing. Where is this entry going? Nowhere, it appears, as am I.
But there's always a song somewhere and this is the song for today.
"Learn To Be Lonely" from The Phantom Of The Opera
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you
You?ve always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved alone
~ Music and lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Posted by: monoceros at December 2, 2004 4:17 PMoh re. fellowships... no not yet... it's really hard to come by i think... esp. when it's EU vs. non-EU... etc.
but i am struggling with research and various analyses etc. and fighting a flu bug...
