Essence of Survival

"Every morning in Africa a deer wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest deer or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter if you are a lion or a deer. When the sun comes up you better be running."

-As seen on a bookmark.

School's been good so far, despite not having a classroom and having a wierd timetable. There are lots of things going on though, which makes things very confusing. I'm missing many people already, but my new class makes up for that. We are, i'd like to say, very interesting people. So's our senior class.

Do you sometimes get the feeling that you want to say something but don't know what it is, or how to say it? I call these feelings thoughtlets because i think they arise when a thought passes through my head too quick to be remembered, but long enough to make an impression. Sometimes I transfer these thoughtlets into poetic form because this form revolves around an idea, but doesn't exactly reveal the idea, which is exactly how it feels to have a thoughtlet.

On a side-note, i like my shoes very much. They're white and blue aasics shoes, and i like them because they've been with me up Mount Fuji, into the mangrove swamp, and are very comfortable indeed. AND they're really durable, considering this is the third year of my using them, and that i wear my shoes out very fast.

I've got PE tomorrow, and I hope we do more than just run. Not that I mind running. Hey, i've just come back to the same topic i started out with. Guess i'd better start jogging then. I'll have to jog before i can run.
