If there's something I wish I had more of this week, it would be time. With room draw, registration, and tests this week, it's been busy and stressful. Once in awhile you come across a really great quote that helps you put things in perspective. I really enjoy Thoreau's thought about time:
"Time is but the stream I go fishing in. I drink at it, but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. It's thin current slides away, but eternity remains."
So time is important. We hear a lot about it as students. We have to get things in on time. We make time to do fun things. We need to find the time to study. While a lot of my goals are more long-term, it helps to not get caught up in what the future will bring. It'll come and all I can do is use the time I have well, and enjoy the moment.
Precisely why the these thinkers are appropriate at this stage of the semester!
