The internet at my apartment didn't work this morning, so I went to the university slightly earlier and have spent most of my day there so far.
I have to say that it is a good thing that I'm not always able to access the internet. I went to the library like old times, and read more from the book that I got. There are some very interesting thoughts and ideas in it so far, but I can't say that I really agree with Tibetan Buddhism, let alone devote myself to it. But I'm still really curious about what meditation is like, and I want to do astral projection soon. I've done it once before; I can do it again.
So I've been using the university computers and I'm being pretty productive, with reading again and all that. I knew that I'd pick reading back up; I was just kind of exhausted for a while.
I drew some diagrams about the structure of truth in the notebook I got three months ago; it had been a while since I last used it. I think that it was really important to draw those diagrams because they would have been pushed back into my subconscious if I didn't take concrete action and jolt them down. There is something about action that teaches you (or at least leaves an impression) in more than one way about your thoughts and ideas. Thoughts alone are often good enough, but without action you're basically having cake without the icing.
As such, I've been feeling better about myself. And I've been more mentally active than I have otherwise been over the past week or two. Cheers to that.
