(no subject)
Does anyone else feel like they aren't having the sexy and exciting and incredibly poetic coming-of-age that they were promised? I mean, really. It is just-- schoolwork, and caffeine addiction, and making an idiot of yourself. And not having money. Pretty disappointing, really. This semester is kicking my ass, and not even in a hysterical oh-my-god-look-how-many-things-you-have-to-do way; just with lack of motivation. Consider the sloth, accidentally taking hold of its own limbs instead of branches and plummeting to the rainforest floor. This is my semester. And I'm supposed to make it to May? Ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Well, I have to play Defend Your Crappy Short Story in workshop tomorrow. That should be enough excitement to keep me curled into a fetal ball for the rest of the week at least. I am going to run away and join the inflatable circus. Or teach myself to turn into a porpoise. Sea otter. Something like that.
