Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I don't know what it is exactly, but lately I've been "thirsting for knowledge". Of course I don't care about any of the material that they're trying to teach me in my classes - I'd much rather sit it Public Health lectures for professionals all day, or watch documentaries on TV, or read random books about things that have no real relevance to me.

I'm not sure what has brought on this sudden wave, but it's not the first time. Do you know what I mean? Have you ever just wanted to know everything about everything? I don't even know exactly what it is I want to know...I just want to know it all.

Like the other day a friend was asking about a disease or certain phenomenon or event in history and even though I knew vaguely about what she was asking, I didn't know the whole backstory. I just want to have it all and the feeling makes me just want to blow off everything and just read lots of books about random topics.

But you see, even if I did that, my retention is so low that I'd only remember about a third of what I actually read. Hmmm...I guess that's the luck of the draw...or I could buy one of those informercial guides to increasing my memory power. RIOGHT...

Anyway - I've decided that I'm going to try to learn (really learn) something new everyday...so that in a few years I'll have so much random information stockpiled to come up with witty conversation at cocktail bars or dinner parties...or better yet...GO ON JEOPARDY!

Ha ha ha...that'll be the day.
