Thankful for a Classmate

I am thankful for Nambi Williams. She's the first person I remember liking at ackie orientation five years ago, and, though I wasn't very nice to her for the first couple years, she kept being my friend anyway. So she's great and I'm glad I figured out how to appreciate her before she gave up on me. We're very different people, but I think that ended up being a good thing because it gives us more to talk/argue about. Thanks, Nam.

Into the Wild-Alone

From what I've seen of Into the Wild, I really like it. I missed a lot of school last week, so it isn't much, but this is going off what I do know so far. Chris seems like a weird guy, but in a way I can appreciate. I can relate to him because I also don't see our society how most do, and, though I wouldn't be so extreme as to leave everything behind and go live in the wild, but I definitely wish to get away from this. Siddhartha is strange to me because he spent so much time going between different societies and mentors in his search for enlightenment. His missed out on years of potentially reaching that goal because he was so focused on getting someone to help him get there. If he had spent more time with a smaller group or alone, I think he would have figured it out much sooner.

I think it's important to spend time alone. Maybe its because big groups of people make me kind of nervous, but I just don't think its necessary.
