Doubt

You know, I am a pretty smart girl. Not to be egotistical or anything, but I am. Yesterday was the first day of classes for me. Normally I get the pre-semester jitters, thinking "oh this will be so hard." But not really this time. No, this time I wasn't jittery or concerned...I should have been. I certainly should have been. My first day in class was upsetting and ridiculous, and I have come to doubt a lot of things.

So, I thought I would dedicate this blog to Doubt. To describe "doubt" in all it's glory, I need Dante.

from the Inferno

Canto II Lines 31-35

Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)

Translation by Robert Pinsky

And then, Like one who unchooses his own choice

           And thinking again undoes what he has started,

           So I became: a nullifying unease

Overcame my soul on that dark slope and voided

          The undertaking I had so quickly embraced.
