She was learning the value of boredom

She was learning the value of boredom. She was clearing out her mind. She had always known that her body was just a shell she lived in, but it occurred to her now that her mind was yet another shell - in which case, who was "she"? She was clearing out her mind to see what was left. Maybe there would be nothing.
