Starving

I know I said the other day that being sheltered from the news is a good thing. I also said I'm not looking forward to going back to school. I am however starving for knowledge. I had a wonderful summer. I've had soooo much fun going out with the girls, laughing, having a good time. I've also greatly enjoyed my new house and the silence. I've been reading a lot too as you can see....... But. The problem is I don't feel like I've been learning anything. I'm starving for some type of new knowledge of something; anything! I've decided to get that through books. I usually read some type of non-fiction but it tells of someone's life not some type of event. That's why I picked up the book I just finished reading called Night. It teaches tales of the Holocaust but isn't a boring text book type of read. Next on my list is "Snow flower and the secret fan" which tells about women of China and the rigid codes of conduct they are forced to follow. I can't believe how bored my mind gets if it's not learning, lol. It amazes me that people go through each day knowing only what they knew yesterday. It drives me insane. Bores me. Of course I like to relax. I'm not constantly looking through books like a mad woman. I used to be possibly one of the laziest people on the planet. I can't do it anymore. I'm starving to know more about anything.
