If there were a day so far up here in Seattle where my taste buds completely lacked enlightenment, today would be that day: a light breakfast of nothing; a lunch consisting of a bland pasta with olive oil and pepper flakes and a flavorless piece of garlic bread; a lukewarm Tully's coffee in the afternoon; two pieces of mediocre Pagliaci pizza; and, finally, an EFS-sponsored mocktail which faintly tasted like pink lemonade. Man, how disappointing and unhealthy.
On the bright side, we caught our first glimpse of the UW student farm. I didn't stay to do any weeding after due to a sore throat, but I hope to have time to volunteer in the future. Gardening and farming have always been activities that have interested me; however, not interesting enough, it seems, to push me to actually pursue them. I'm excited to take advantage of the garden.
Many of the articles we've been reading seem to tie in with the theme of collectivism versus individualism. In almost every thing I study, that theme seems to sprout up. It fascinates me, but at the same time it's absolutely exhausting. To what extent do you sacrifice yourself for others? I wonder if there's a more pressing question we have to ask ourselves and whether there will be a point in ensuing generations when we won't need to ask.
