Do you have any time I could borrow?

College. College. College. Personally, I have become a little sick of the word, even with wonderful thoughts of this time next year in my head. The pain is getting to next year.. Surprisingly, I thought I would only have to fill out one college application. There's an interesting story about my position of filling out three, two of which I started a week-ish ago but we won't get into that now..
            My real point (other than to provide a very needed excuse for mercy, and time) is to talk about the current book I am reading. "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, is to say the least, intense. The great thing about it however, is I don't have the edited, appropriated version. I have the original scroll, no paragraphs, no chapters, no dialogue spacing. Most importantly, there's no editing. This book is crude, in the greatest way possible. I'm only a couple dozen pages in, but the real, gritty sense of Jacks journey is completely evident, and I cannot wait to have the time to read it regularly again.
        
          I'm sorry, you said you can't give me any time? Well then, I suppose I need to keep moving.
