Never felt I was alone... 'til you changed my mind!

Someone I know brings up the point that there tends to be a lot of pressure on me to get into a bigger school and maybe that's the biggest reason that I'm pushing to get off the waiting list and into Harvard. No, this wasn't a rude suggestion.

But you see, Donna Summer already thought about this. Her amazing song "Love's About To Change My Heart (7" Mix)" --- take the 7" part of it as you wish --- talks about just this sort of conflict. What, exactly, is the influence of other people you know closely on how you do things and on what you go after?

I mean, that's basically all that the conflict is. Some other people overcomplicate it. The Queen of Disco, though, in her infallibility, knew not to overcomplicate it. Allow me to paste you some lyrics of hers. From that song.

Never ever thought the sky was so blue
Never ever thought I'd feel so new

Always thought I'd know what to do
But I guess I wasn't counting on you!

By the way, the Insert key is awful. mais de toute façon. The upper paragraph describes (yes, Donna Summer predicted in 1989 that these events would happen to me in 2006) my mood, and the lower one describes my influence.

Except that I don't always think I know what to do. Damn, I guess she didn't get all her predictions right.

But now that we've meditated on Donna Summer without a conclusion (no meditation should have a concrete conclusion. that's like, nirvana, and will not be tolerated)...
