You see, he is always about his wealth, and also, he is always about his love for Daisy Buchanan, but, yet, his partygoers are always making assumptions that he may be a German spy from the Third Reich or the murderer of the Kaiser.

Dear diary, Today was a leisure day. I visited Jay again, we set in his Study and talked. This was the first time I was invited into his Study; he was usually very careful about this part of his chambers, because of all those business stuff, I guess.

I would consider myself intellectually curious, maybe not in a typical sense where I study a physics book every day or engage in Euclid's original math concepts, but I would still consider myself a thoughtful explorer.
