Subject: Re: Down, Down, Up
I didn't go to work Fri. as I took the day off, so I'm reading your
message Sat. in the law library at school. I finally started not
feeling so down. I need to think about what brought the change
because I was really getting depressed. For one thing, I DID
finally get my application into UA. Its in the mail. I
didn't go into work Fri. not because I was down, but because they were
doing this big employee cookout under the parking deck with the theme of
the Alabama Auburn football game. Last time I smelled so badly of
smoke I couldn't stand it, plus it seemed stupid just to get a free
insipid hamburger and some coleslaw. I had intended to study
Friday, but in many ways took the day off--which to some extent I
decided I needed more. I went to a bookstore to pick up some books
I had ordered, then went prowling through another used bookstore I
really like--which I hadn't done in almost a year. I think you
would like it as they have so much science fiction, stacked to the
ceiling. I want this semester OVER so badly. I hate one of
my courses and came to the library today to try and get the materials
together so I can study for the final. Oh--I found this poem by
Yeats--it seemed almost written for you and Julie. If I forget it,
remind me, because I want to send you a copy e-mail, but I might get
busy with finals and forget. What do you think about the two recent
x-files. I got into trying to research what AMOR FATI means, the
title of one show. Otherwise, to some extent, in part I thought "I
don't know what in the hell is going on here."
Thanks for writing and asking how I am. The answer is "better."
I really want to read during this holiday break.
