Go college.
I have to
write a book report today. I haven’t
done this since college and I thought it might be like riding a bike, but
apparently my I-haven’t-read-the-book-but-can-B.S.-my-way-through-a-couple-of-pages
ability has atrophied. It could be that
the book is less than captivating…or at least the first chapter and a half is. It could be that the writing part of my brain has been absorbed by the blog/twitter-stalker
part. Whatever the reason, I would like to
grant five metaphorical points to all of the professors who claimed that
getting a liberal arts education would be valuable in the long-run for the sake
of “learning how to learn” and whatnot, because even though it may take a
little more time than it used to, I will be able to write this summary/ reflection. I will convince the probably non-existent
reader of my little essay that I read this book and deeply value the concepts
therein.
