Here I am, once again, only this time I am tired and cranky, and I just want to crawl back into my bed. The worst part about it is the fact that this is the first day of classes after spring break. Yes, I just had a week to recuperate, and I actually feel worse today than I have for a while. I hope I am not getting sick. Today is the first warm day we have had for a long time, and I am being informed that it is 61 degrees outside. Maybe it is the change in temperature that is making me so drowsy? I don’t know, but I fell asleep last night at about 12:30 with all of the lights on. (My roommate was working on something.) I also should be writing a paper that I should have written over break. I instead decided to read 4.5 books, watch several movies, including two different interpretations of Jane Eyre, neither of which I particularly cared for, and play video games.

    Don’t get me wrong about Jane Eyre. It is one of my favorite books, and I even like it better than Pride and Prejudice, but both of the interpretations I saw were disappointing because the actors did not convince me that they were really Jane and Mr. Rochester.

    Wow, I am really rambling. Maybe I should not write my paper in this state of mind. While grading it, the teacher will look at it, and immediately ask why I got a ten-year-old Scottish terrier to write my paper. (Two side notes for that last statement: 1. she may also claim that it was a Great Dane that wrote the paper, and 2. when I initially typed the word terrier, it had three ‘r’s in a row instead of the typical, and correct two.)

    Great, now even the internet is out to get me. This might get posted sometime today, but I can not be sure. I suppose I will continue sitting here, staring at the computer, languidly listening to Tom Petty, and trying to convince myself that writing a paper is a good idea. I also may make some tea, which has caffeine, but it is warm, so I won’t want it. Oh, never mind. I will just stare.
