The Road Less Traveled




Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 




Well, not much to post about today, but the sun is shining and its almost time for another week to start.  When I first got here time seemed to go by so slowly, but now every Sunday I sit here at my computer and wonder where the week went. I find that after only a month I am tired of going to my classes. Now that it has refrained from raining for over a week it's even harder to make myself sit through hours of lecture inside. This weekend was the first weekend I didn't have my normal Saturday adventure to a new place in Ireland, and I have to say it was way too quite around here. I found myself taking a four mile walk just to occupy myself. 

There were many times during the course of the weekend where I thought to myself "I should do homework and get ahead in my classes...." but then it just never happened. Plus this morning there was a campus-wide power outage...which I of course took to be a sign that I should sleep in and do nothing productive. When we finally got power back, after like two hours without it, the internet still wouldn't work so I took that as another sign. Suffice it to say, it has been a very lackadaisical weekend. I talked to the horses along the side of the road, listened to music, drank tea, and baked cookies. 

I hope all of you had a great weekend as well, and I look forward to sharing more of my future adventures with everyone!
