My body, my throat, and that weird feeling you get in your ears finally gave in this morning and now my body just wants to collapse. I'm not going to school today and isn't it wonderful I get to get a zero on my first Stat test of the semester. And on my first chinese test...and first essay. My "wonderful" isn't complete sarcasm - maybe if I start off with F's it'll force me to remember that I need to try in school this semester. But I guess its too early to think about that.

I stumbled across this great writing from christine kwon this morning and it eased the pain in my head. Read it, even though most of you probably have:



"why does there never seem to be time to finish everything. or finish anything?

sometimes i just want to sit on a rocking chair on a creaky porch and watch the sunset swaddled in a blanket and listen to jars of clay and sing with grace while she plays guitar in her rocking chair and everyone can just sit on this huge porch in rocking chairs and relax and say, what a mighty fine day. everyone would just look at the sky and gratitude would pour out of our eyes and our mouths and pool into our folded hands as we sat and rocked.

and there would be no worries about rough drafts of essays or auditions or research or the next two years and months and days or leaving home or staying home and not having enough time to do what's most important. only about how long we could sit before the chairs and our voices wore out or before the sun disappeared. but even then we could sit in still chairs and watch a still moon and still have time to do everything."

everything.
