dchenesIs having nothing but chocolate ice cream for lunch a sign of being grown up, since nobody tells you not to, or a sign of regressing to childhood because you're doing something your mother would tell you not to do?
It's cloudy and cold out, and I would call it a popcorn day if I didn't have a class to go to tonight and several other things I should probably be doing anyway. At least I got through all the composition exercises last night. I swear they invented some of those sentences just to give us fits. Case in point: have you ever, outside of literary contrivance, encountered a sentence like "In adversity, we learned to appreciate many things that we had, in our former happiness, taken for granted"? That was the sentence to which my response was "You have GOT to be kidding." I suppose I should be grateful that it's all in the same form of past tense. I also rearranged a couple of clauses when I translated it, so it makes a bit more sense.
I wish I knew what I needed in order to quit feeling like I spend all my days walking uphill. Every time I get to a metaphorical flat spot, I remember something else I have to think about, and I have to start walking uphill again. I don't know whether it would help to complain at somebody, or what. Maybe I should take this to paper and argue it out there.
