Alice--If you are looking to peer review, see the next two posts

Going back to my roadmap, I just have to bring up the topic of everyone being in such a hurry.

Will you walk a little faster?"
Said a whiting to a snail,
"There's a porpoise close behind us,
And he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters
And the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle -
Will you come and join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you,
Won't you, will you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you,
Won't you, won't you join the dance?

I feel like my parents are the ones treading on my tail--not that I am angry about it, but it may take more than four years for me to learn everything I want here. I have had some experiences, but I feel I have only eaten off one side of the mushroom. I have been the person watching and now that I have fallen into the rabbit hole, I am ready to dance and partake, and that might take me more than a year more, so they will have to learn (and hopefully fund).
I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

Don't know why I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It's not new
But it'll do zero to sixty in five point two

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

Can't be late, I leave in plenty of time
Shakin' hands with the clock
I can't stop
I'm on a roll and I'm ready to rock

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

Oh, I hear a voice
That says I'm running behind
Better pick up my pace
It's a race and there ain't no room for someone in second place

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why -Alabama "I'm in a hurry."

Alice says that in her country, running fast leads you to where you are going, but I agree more with the Queen when she says, "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place" (165). Sometimes, with the mountain of homework, tests and projects I feel like no matter how fast and how far I run, I end up further behind that when I started.
I get so tired sometimes that I give up, and that sets me back even further. Some nights I study for hours, and the next morning I cannot recall anything I had learned. Alice encounters the same problem when she meets the Caterpillar and cannot remember anything. "I ca'n't remember things I used--and I don't keep the same size for ten minutes together" (49). (Sidenote--freshman year I too could not keep the same size for ten minutes--I got pretty chubby...)
(I had a pillow in my stomach but still...)

Long story short, we are Alice's because college is just one big well waiting to swallow us all. You have to find your own way out...If you want out at all
