I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.
It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.
Of course, the idea of a six months' holiday is enough to make anyone laugh at anything, but I find that besides that I was a good deal harassed and run down, and I am glad to cut off from everything and start fresh. I feel miserably selfish about it all the time.
