What that means is that our lives are never perfect little boxes and nor should they be. I’m talking about the little wrinkles that make life what it is… imperfect.
Like expected deadlines are deadly in that they make the 8 hour sleeping quota a joke for us college students. All last night I was writing about the Bangladeshi war and then like a changing channels on a radio, switched to gender in India…
pages… the obsession over the amount of pages has me in a fury to make a prolific discovery fit between the 10-11 page requirement. Of course I can easily make a convincing argument in 8 pages and save the paper, but there’s something to that 10 pages that make teachers think that their students will push themselves. What’s the reality?
We push ourselves to an unspoken insanity by staying up late, not thinking clearly, and fragmenting our sentences like hell. We critically think about wars and gender rather then think about food so our bodies starve (not for knowledge) but for steak & baked potatoes.(mmmm)
To top all that, my clutch has finally passed on. Inching at barely 25-30 mph to the clutch doctors my car was sending me screams to help it. So this morning after a quick revision of another paper, I drove the ole subbie to the clutch doctors in hopes of a miracle. This left me with “bucky” my dad’s jeep to drive to school and to work. After getting to school (which of course Dad drove) he let me use his jeep to head off to class and eventually to work. Now the concert of the day will be interesting. The plan is after I get the call (estimated at noon today) that my car is done I’ll relay that message to Dad who will notify my Mom to pay for it after she gets off work @ 4pm and picks up the key. My job will be to pick Dad up @ 6ish (when I get off work) and take him home where hopefully Mom will be there with the key and both Dad and I can pick the car up at our leisure. Well that’s the plan… but “actual results may vary” because as I told you in the beginning of this post…
