Call of the Wild

So I went out yesterday. A really wise decision. I needed to get away from the home-exam and the essay and everything else for a while. Of course not everything was a walk on roses. First, stupid as I was, I walked up to Campus on my usual route. Take the small path into a wooded area to cut some distance. First reaction is good as it seems they had cleared a path thru the snow. So I walk up the road, but the path doesn't take me on my usual route so I walk away from the cleared path thru the snow. In shoes that barely use in winter. I wade thru the snow and realizes, I don't have any retroreflectors which means I should probably stay of the road with the cars passing by. So it's onward thru the snow. When I finally reaches my destination I'm wet, physically exhausted and has snow in my shoes. Good start.

Of course it became better from there. A lot of new people to socialize with. Made even better with the fact that I only knew three from before, which meant I had to talk to other people. A lot of teachers students for some reason. Met someone who had been at the Washington Semester program spring 2008 and have had the same teacher as me. That was awesome. Didn't know the guy, we somehow ended up talking in this awkward talk to find something to talk about. And somehow we slipped into that conversation and that was really fun. God, I really miss the Washington Semester students.

Of course this party made me miss Melodifestivalen, but who cares. Much better music at the party. It was also talks about politics, I(A)ron Maiden, who should clean up after the party and the eternal question that has plagued mankind since the dawn of time:

"What will you be as a political scientist?"

And to that, there is no true answer. You can become everything and nothing. You have the knowledge of everything but you still know nothing. You have the potential as a politician, half-economist, half-lawyer, philosopher, white-collar worker, diplomats and so on. You become the shadow that controls all humans without them knowing. You decide the agenda, you put the words in the politicians mouths. We are the TRUE ruling class of the WORLD! *ahem* If you want to that is, I would be happy to live in the library and learning for the rest of my life. Knowledge is the true POWER of the world! *Whack* Ouch, I should stop rambling now.
