"Outside of literary study, life has no meaning or attraction for him...he is adapted for nothing else. You may make up your mind to that."
--Written to C. S. Lewis' father by his tutor
How convenient to be adapted only for literary study! I feel especially jealous of Jack as I wade through endless college applications, barely able to read and study anything else, ironically enough. Yet, I know that at the end of this tunnel are literary studies galore, so I can't complain. Must hang on for a few more weeks and get my intellectual sustenance in the meantime by filling out financial aid forms.

Yay! I'm so excited for you! But I sympathize with the grueling process of applying and going through all the financial aid hoops...UGH. I don't think I ever would have made it through the application process if it weren't for my father, encouraging me onward... Are you divulging to the public the names of colleges you are applying to...?
I sympathise too. I remember feeling like I was going to lose it if I had to fill out ONE more FORM! But of course, I had to fill out several more after that and didn't lose it (too badly)... And you're right, the benefits to come VASTLY outweigh the drudgery now!
