Oh, yeah, this is what life is really like, huh?
How easy it is to fall into a spoiled way of life, even in only a few weeks. It gives me, in a creepy way, a little understanding of those plantation owners who grew enormously wealthy from the labor of their "property." Maybe they said to themselves "hmm, this makes me uncomfortable when I think about it...so I just won't think about it. What's for lunch? Think I'll read some Greek poetry. Tra la."
There's a good deal of enjoyment in that lifestyle but little real joy, I think.
More later; off to school.
