It went okay, it was a test for me. Giving up my rut was a positive effect because i had more times in my hand. I actually took time doing my homework and study.  I am glad to have experience this because it was a test for me and i experienced how Thoreau gave up everything. Yes, my life simplified because i got things finished. Thoreau quote that represents me is “Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.”
