Concentration
I can no longer do it. Concentration is an extremely laborious task for me now. I have used this simile once before and I shall use it again..."it is like trying to hold water in the palm of your hand"...Written by J.K.Rowling, it is that quote that perfectly describes my current state of being. It is like when you are reading a book that does not interest you and you get to the bottom of a page and realize that you didnt take in any of it. Your eyes saw the words and you may even have read them out loud, but your brain did not register a single thing. I have hw to do here and tests to study for, but my mind will not permit it. I find my thoughts drifting back toward home and those whom I no longer have the luxury of seeing on a regular basis. Back to my sister who has her first boyfriend and my best friend who is as miserable as I am. To my brother who turns 22 in a week. To my mother and father. To my animals whom I can no longer take care of. To NYU and the application that is sitting next to my computer. To Ape and the OBI. To the leaves which are slowly changing colors. To everything, and everyone and everyplace I left behind. Oct 22...that is the day of my rescue. All I must do now is wait...
