The sky today is so interesting.
There are two windows in my room, and my desk/computer area is smack dab between the two. When I look to the left, I can see a sheet of white, so intense that it makes the surrounding darkness of my room turn absolutely black when I focus.
The right-side window has a sky that's beige and brown and grey. It's like being in a pool of dirty dishwater or a HUGE dirty sock. It looks like smog and the trees are whipping around and once or twice, a single leaf will just THROW itself across the sky. It's amazing. And the light keeps on dimming and it's so ominous and grim. I love it, and I love the difference.
I really hope there will be a giant thunderstorm, although preferably not during yoga. Probably wouldn't help that whole relaxation deal.
And now the rain's starting.
Apropos of nothing, I feel like school is in the absolute doldrums right now. It has now been a sufficient amount of time since its beginning, and the work feels like an everpresent ANVIL. And yet, we're not at winter break or half-way through, so it feels like this harried lifestyle will never, ever end. People keep telling me that I look exhausted (and I probably do), but being pale to begin with doesn't really help. It sounds kind of ridiculous, but the most stressful part is the fact that I'm getting good grades. I wonder if I'm ever going to be able to live up to the first marking period - now that I have a grade comparison, I'm stressing out more and doing worse, just trying to live up to it.
And now, a quiz.
1. Pick a band or musician.
2. Answer each question using only their song titles.
Band/Musician: Bloc Party
Who are you? Luno
Where do you live? The present
How do you see yourself? Blue light
How do others see you? Always new depths
How are you feeling? Like eating glass
How do you love? Positive tension
Who do you love? This modern love
Where do wish you were? Banquet
How do you live your life? Storm and stress
How do you view others? Skeleton
What is your advice? This is not a competition
Do it, if you wish. It's pretty worthwhile.
