I'm sitting in my favorite chair in my favorite cafe, in my favorite neighborhood, across the street from my favorite building.
I only worked half a day yesterday, and for someone who starts at 5:00am sharp that means I was on the road by 10:00. I went to the bank to deposit my student loan check, so now I'm feeling a little inflated. I also went to the University Library to check out the staged version of Henry IV. (two I, Claudius actors-- cool. Macbeth only had one!). Videotapes must be viewed on premises, so I brought a tub of popcorn (not really-- But I did have sushi).
Is watching the Shakespeare plays cheating? It makes the class so easy it sure feels like cheating.
I have a mid-term tonight that I'm only partially prepared for, and evolutionary biology has been quite challenging-- I'm going to have to step it up a notch. But I try to enjoy the challenge-- and I really like the U of M. I may change my mind about transfering to my local municipal university. I have an appointment with my advisor at the community college, Sub-Commander Wendutu Koleshaka, March 6th. There he will tell me the fastest way to get my degree. He also has access to a sizable sum in the Nigerian Central bank and wants my help to get it out.
Everything is on track-- everything is going according to plan.
If you think that I'm enjoying life right now, you're mostly correct. But the girl is starting to crack. Maybe she isn't cut out for the George Bernard Shaw type self-flagellation which I tend to these days.
Maybe she and I can just retire to the Pacific Northwest and run a dollar store. Forget about the bigger picture. And sit in my favorite chair in my favorite cafe, in my favorite neighborhood, across the street from my favorite building.
