Nothing Special

I’m incredibly tired, mentally exhausted, and am having enormous trouble getting myself to sit here and write this article rather than take a nap or over-practice for the piano and vocal juries I have tomorrow. Never mind the fact that I can't speak actual sentences out-loud without mumbling and stumbling, I that shouldn't effect how I write, right? So I thought before I spelled write “witer.” Yeah…What further shows my level of exhaustion at this point is the mere fact that I pointed that out at all to an audience of readers who would have seen and known nothing if I hadn’t have…What an awkward sentence. Oh, well. I’m too lazy to go back and delete it now, so I’ll just move on.

You know when you’re very tired, and preoccupied, go out with friends, and end up asking how they are at least 5 times? That was breakfast this morning… actually quite often I suppose, but this morning especially. Or when you get distracted by a thought, end up inadvertently staring at someone, something, or someone’s dog for a bit too long, and making awkward eye contact sometimes followed by an even more awkward wave and slow turn away…That has also happened to me more often then I’d care to admit…I am known to be a bit spacey from time to time...

I don’t really have a point I’m going to make and argue here. Quite frankly, I think there are quite enough points being made on social media right about now. This can thus serve as a break from that. I would be proud and rather surprised to find you’ve reached this point in my article…If you have, I guess I’ll keep going, first to see how long I can keep your attention without stating anything of major importance, but mainly because I have to reach the 500 word limit.

So…how’s it goin?

*Stare off into space for a solid five minutes that feel like a one second*

*Contemplate life, and come close to making a small yet seemingly significant self discovery*

*Get taken away from your deep concentration, distracted by your friend vying for your attention yet again*

*Make awkward eye contact with a baby sitting across the room*

*Smile*

*Realize looking any longer could make you seem creepy*

*Look away before anyone else notices*

Resume conversation with friend.

“So, how’s it goin?"

*Smile and nod*

*Have conversation of little importance as we’re both incredibly tired*

*Shuffle home in the cold looking forward to stripping down, and watching Netflix with a nice cup of tea and a cookie*

*Get back and realize you have to study for finals*

*Strip down, and watch Netflix with a cup of coffee, five cookies, a doughnut, and some chocolate occasionally salted with your tears of dismay and disappointment*

Well, that was fun. Made a bit of a skit…not like I’ve ever done anything of that sort…You know, I’d like to insert a gif here, but I’m not completely sure how…I’ll figure it out. Hold up. Yeah, I tried, not very hard, as I have very little motivation at this point to do anything at all unnecessary, but I tried…Maybe next time.

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving all! I just realized it's on Thursday. Hope you have a lovely time with friends and/or family! :)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
