a time for curiosity...
I was thinking about school and uni and learning in general today, and I realised (if I hadn't already) that my main reason for having trouble deciding what to do is quite simply that I want to do everything.
no joke - I want to learn everything there is to learn, and more. And then I was thinking about that. Is it wrong to want to just keep on learning and learning? If you do that, you never end up working. Does that make you a burden to society? I mean, I guess you can get a part-time job of some description, but once you get to a certain stage, no one is going to want to give you a "real" job because you'll be overqualified - or just too old.
I really really love to learn about things... I like to find patterns in things, I like to know about things...
I like to find out the answer to every question I think of...
Curiosity killed the cat.
What's that supposed to mean anyway? An interesting point really...
Well anyway, I'm off to learn Maths... and Physics...

haha the cat is an interesting analogy - do you think it is related to the fact that it has 9 lives?
who knows... it could lose one and you'd never know the difference!
