At peace
Times like these, when everything around you is going rougher than planned (a best case scenario) or completely falling apart (worst case scenario), are times when you learn to cope.
It is all a part of the adult life which I have been masterfully avoiding for twenty years now. I sometimes fear for my finances and my grades (especially those, when I am at the twinkling twilight of my undergraduate career) but I learned to say two important words:
Fuck it.
Or, for the more PG-audience, "This too shall pass." But I've heard that one phrase enough to make my ears bleed. That, and the beautiful cacophony of my disyllabic declaration soothe me to the soul, for some very weird reason.
Yes, I know given the temporal proximity of this post to my last one, you may think this is about my essay. It's only partially about that. There are other things biting my ass and the essay is just one of the more "colorful" posterior-hunters. I do know that the final will be a rather easy format that I like and if I study my ass off for that, it may make up for however badly I fuck up on my paper.
