Classes and Work

So now I know and knowing is half the battle.
Or something like that.

I am bored with both. I just want to spend time with my love.

I suppose however, in the "real world" you need things like education and work and the dreaded and loved money.

Sometimes I want it to be simpler, easier, Utopian in fact. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I think eventually everything balances itself out.
