Andrew was quite disenchanted after his english class today, mainly for the sole aspect of him being forced to read Beowulf. During his off period, though, he decided he would read De Daumier-Smith's Blue Period for the first time. He became somewhat less annoyed (true happiness cannot be obtained in school, ya see). He especially enjoyed this part: The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid. Andrew's joy, as Saliner put it, was 'seep[ing] through its container' within the half hour. ...andrew
