'And the days are not full enough'

And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass.

Ezra Pound

Anyway. Who's excited about the ski trip?

I'm hoping there will be times to sneak away.
Are you struggling in anything?

[zadielovelace]

Maybe. [...] Not especially. Are you?

[lionellovelace]

No, everything has been manageable so far.
Difficult, but okay.
Though, unlike Viola's poem says, I'd argue the days have been plenty full.

[zadielovelace]

School needs to be challenging. Otherwise, what's the point?

[...]

That's true. A little hectic at times too.

[lionellovelace]

Social-emotional learning. I've been told.

[zadielovelace]

[...] That sounds made up.

[lionellovelace]

Well, some people believe strongly in it.
And those same people would view a ski trip with your peers as a final exam.

[zadielovelace]

But you can't study for it. [...] Do you think I'd pass?

[lionellovelace]

You automatically get 50% for showing up and writing down your name.
I'm sure you'd pass with flying colors.

[zadielovelace]

[...] This curriculum seems questionable.

[Lionel]

[...] What do you think about the trip?

[lionellovelace]

Suffice it to say, neither of us would TA it.

I'm going to go.
All my roommates will be there.
