Aaargh! I am SO lazy.
I feel like the laziest person in the universe right now. I don't feel like doing anything. At all. I have this marathon of a presentation/final exam day to contend with tomorrow. (Yes, tomorrow, as in Saturday.) There's a PowerPoint that goes along with it, and I don't feel like finishing it. I guess marriage in colonial California could be considered somewhat of a sexy topic. But at this point I just feel like who cares about everything. So, the indigenous peoples practiced polygyny. So, the Spanish missionaries thought they were a bunch of fornicators. I just want it to be over.
I am SUCH a whiner. All I want to do is eat Cheez-it crackers and guzzle cream soda and watch 30 Rock, Kings, The Daily Show and The Mentalist online. I want to daydream. I want to allow my eyes to glaze over as I overanalyze my latest idiosyncratic attachment. I don't want to grade badly written compositions. I don't want to put participation points in an Excel spreadsheet. I don't want to print out items analysis. I don't want to articulate any more reasons to use the present subjunctive.
I want it to be OVER. I want to sleep and wake up when I want to. Sing in the shower until all the hot water runs out. Make mugs and mugs of honey vanilla chamomile tea. I want to finally finish reading Dreams from My Father. Barack Obama's been in Kenya for like 3 months now. I want French pedicures. I want bliss. I want a smile from a handsome stranger.
No more slathering myself with Suave powder fresh lotion. No more donning a wrinkled denim jacket, burdening myself with an NPR bag full of academic minutiae, stuffing my ears with white earbuds and listening to the same songs over and over again while I sulkily eat an apple staring out the bus window. No more, I say.
I want to wrap myself in a comforter cocoon and emerge a sunflower-colored butterfly.
Yeah. Which means it's time to finish my PowerPoint. Sexy.

You have a full day on Saturday, too? That stinks. *sigh* Your life makes mine look really simple, oh, but I'm not complainin'!
BUT..I do know how you feel, Chantell, for when I was your age until about five years ago, my life was cram-packed with stuff to do. I can remember just wanting to run away sometimes but it was like I couldn't even find the time to do that, for heaven's sake! *smile*
I hope you can have a "free" day soon! We all need those from time to time! Pencil YOU in on your calendar. Make YOU a priority at least for a day! ((HUGS))
beautiful writing. you really should consider writing a book.
Aw, thanks, "anonymous" :-)
i forgot to say that when "it's all over," it's extremely boring. life, i mean.

Yeah, I believe it. Maybe that's why I got a little restless after teaching for 3 years. I just want the stressful part to be over.
I know I easily get bored, though, so that's why I have a little French experience tucked away to keep things exciting. :-)
