I finally finished watching The Hedgehog. I realize now that I am way too involved with the book itself and I can't have an unbiased opinion of the movie. Unbiased or not, my opinion is that the movie leaves a lot to be desired.
Maybe I was trying to finish the book before watching the movie. I even missed the book discussion because I was procrastinating, did you know that, Ram? Sigh... I told my friend I was going to finish the book and ooppsss... I didn't! Not on time. Not even to discuss it with my friend who lovessss the book.

I am tired, and my body hurts. I have been studying non-stop for almost three years, and I haven't had the time to think (an exercise I praise and miss). Thinking connects me to feelings. I stand here a month a half away from graduating. I persisted when I wanted to rest. I rested when it was not possible to keep going. I pushed my physical and intellectual abilities and limitations to obtain this degree. I am inspired to help others. A friend today commented on how good of a student I am. I am not. My attention is fleeing and flows away from me. It's just 100% effort and a constant battle to focus and concentrate. I had to stop looking and finding meaning because I was burning. The candle burns at both ends. That poem is not mine but suits me well. The journey is long, and it has just started. This experience has taught me so much more than a skill. I am inspired. I hope the sacrifice will be worth it.
Wow, finally! What took you so long??
