The Vent - a duct to fresh air and ideas

I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, 'Till it bore an apple bright, And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine, And into my garden stole, When the night had veiled the pole. In the morning, glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree. - A Poison Tree, William Blake

A mission

I cannot tell whether I am more eager to finish school or to go on a mission. The mission is exciting though because at least others can rejoice with you. On the other hand school is so stressful and it seems quite selfish. It is a necessity though.

Manila, Philippines is where I will serve. For about two years starting June 14. It will be so nice to be apart of a work that really matters. Then again it will be nice to momentarily be done with school.
