damn you grad school people

being back at a dayjob plus knowing so many people starting grad school is making me wistful about school again... except i already kind of tried that and decided i couldn't hack it now. although it wasn't until i was required to do actual work involving original thought that i started having trouble. what i really want to do is just be an eternal college freshman. two years ago when i was doing the sortofschoolthing i so loved just sitting outside in the sun at the library doing my portuguese homework and my linguistics reading. i didn't even really mind the syntax problem sets. i love just reading and learning stuff and doing silly busywork homework. my ideal life would be as a dilettante, taking intro level courses in everything and learning lots of languages and traveling half the year. is that so much to ask for? why can't someone make me magically independently wealthy...

have i ever been brown?
