I was, in a sense, visualizing this last night. I want to go back to school, and pursue my degree in English. However, I want to be very serious about it. I want to master the rules and bare elements of the language, and be well aware when I break basic structure (some authors do this purposefully to further their point). I want to go back and study archaic English, which I feel is so beautiful and refined. I want to pay special attention to the works that have survived and defined the literary genres. Less specifically... I want to go to school in a very pure state of mind, with the knowledge as my only love. I do not want the search for a personal relationship to cloud my academic performance or my regular mood. I even want to dress professionally... button downs and dress pants.. no crop tops and leggings or special dresses. I want to be a serious and dedicated person that people of greater learning can look down on with respect. I have decided that the best thing to do with the knowledge that I acquire... is to become a "scholar-teacher," that is, some one who teaches and shares the breadth of their knowledge, the very fabric of their heart and mind, on the day-to-day, and by night, works on scholarly essays, reviews, etc that will pay out and further the cause.
Learning programming would be nice. I'd be able to make little projects.
I'd also like to learn sewing.
Knowing Spanish would be good, too, if for no other reason than to add to my resume.
My mom has always sewed... and never took the time to teach me!! I would love to learn how to make tapestries, pillows, and quilts like her.
