No, I know. It’s not good to know too much of your own future. It’s tempting, but it’s better to be surprised.

[ Especially when the future might bring up something you would dread, the way Gansey’s has for the last year. Choosing not to know might be akin to burying your head in the sand, but he thinks if he’d had it to do again, he’d still have made the same choices. ]

I think I wouldn’t mind being surprised more often. I mean, I’ll still go to college, eventually. There’s still plenty I want to do, and learn. I’m not sure that’s all in a classroom, though, that’s all.
