Freedom

I’ve been chained for so long
I know not what freedom is.
I know not what fresh air feels like.
I do not recognize natural colors.
This sunlight is too bright.
I have broken these chains
And now I bask in the light.
Your bonds are dust now,
You have no hold over me.
My mind is free
To search for the truth.
My soul is free
To feel the joy of life.
My hands are no longer tied
I can feel my beating heart.
My heart does still beat
Even after its suffocation
Under your unrelenting
Hold over me.
Oh no, not you, you could never keep me still.
These chains are self-imposed.
I locked myself in them so long ago
For I could not dream of another.
But now I see it is time to burst out.
My heart must be able to beat and breathe of its own accord.
I should not be waiting for you to return.
I must live my life
Not in solitude
But in the warmth of my own true love:
Life – A life of freedom.
So now I cast aside the shackles I’ve become so inebriated by.
I must go out now.
Forget, no, never forget you.
But I must leave you behind me,
As you so long ago left me behind.
This is life,
This is the freedom that I choose now.

Yay for school!!!

Man, my classes this quarter are so great. I'm interested in each one of them. And I'm participating in class, reading ahead, and taking notes!!! Granted, it's only the first week, but I'm really enthused about this quarter. And all my profs are really great. This quarter I'm taking:

• Social Psychology
• 20th Century Art History
• U.S. History in the 20th Century
• Theories of Learning and Cognition

And it's a great schedule too. Two classes a day, Monday through Thursday, none before 11:50. This is possibly the best schedule I've ever had *g*. The only class I'm a little worried about is 20th Century Art. To me, art is "pwettie pictures" and I don't really understand it that much. Doesn't help that I'm the only non-art-history major in the class. See, my major is psychology, so I'm more than a little out of my element.  But, I have to go the Art Institute of Chicago for a paper. So that's a plus.

Also, it's so cold outside, I'm not going to dinner. Looks like it's Chef Boyardee or maybe Cambells...mmmm...chicken noodle.

Okay:

I am The Wheel of Fortune The Wheel of Fortune represents unexpected encounters and twists of fate. You can't predict surprises; you can only be aware when one is circling around. Indeed, Card 10 often suggests wheel-like actions - changes in direction, repeating cycles and rapid movement. When the energy of the Wheel arrives, you will feel life speed up. You are caught in a cyclone that may deposit you anywhere. "Round and round and round she goes, and where she stops, nobody knows."
