Stuck in School

The network is down at school, again. I wish they'd fix it. But I'm not really that bothered, since it means that I can blog. Always good. I didn't even know that they hadn't blocked Blogger. So amazingly glad that they haven't. Like I said before, blogging is immensely addictive.

I am helping my friend with her prep for French - thank God I've done mine. She's really quite good, despite being a bit scared.

I have my German speaking soon(ish) Not looking forwards to that. Hm, I've never checked whether our school network blocked Blogger. Interesting idea ;)

"Do you see, Arren, how an act is not, as young men think, like a rock that one picks up and throws, and it hits or misses, and that's the end of it. When the rock is liften the earth is lighter, the hand that bears it heavier. When it is thrown the circuits of the stars respond, and where it strikes or falls the universe is changed. On every act the balance of the whole depends. The wind and seas, the powers of water and earth and light, all that these do, and all that the beasts and green things do, is well done and rightly done. All these act within the Equilibrium. From the hurricane and the great whale's sounding to the fall of a dry leaf and the gnat's flight, all they do is done within the balance of the whole. But we, in so far as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the lead and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance. Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility. Who am I - though I have the power to do it - to punish and reward, play with men's destinies?" SPARROWHAWK, "THE EARTHSEA TRILOGY: THE FARTHEST SHORE"
