Homework for the Overactive Brain

Insanity used to be a fairweather friend that only showed up on my doorstep when things got rough (wow...mixed metaphores), so how come I can't get it to leave anymore? I know I often misuse insanity, mainly to mean stress, but jeeze...Looking around, I realize that insanity isn't just my friend...it seems to have befriended at least half the campus...if not all of it. Finals, everyone says. Yeah. I know. Well, tomorrow is looking crazy, two tests to either study for (Japanese) or do the take home (Peace Studies) as well as get ready to go to CD and WT for thanksgiving.

And dealing with the Flute Choir. Egads. Somedays I wonder if people are just so into things that they can't think of others, or if I'm just so selfish I project all that onto them. Either way, there's problems. *shakes head* This close to saying screw it all and no practice this week...despite the fact we've got a concert next friday. Eyah. How did it come so quickly? Is there any way to speed up going home but slow down concerts and papers? At the same time?

The wind is singing pretty songs to the world tonight...whistling through bars, doors, windows, lives. Another day I wish I was a bird who could take advantage and play in the air currents. As it is I have to settle for letting my hair blow around, it's so freeing...feeling. I wonder if I'll have poems to read for tomorrow's poetry thing...since I have to go for reporting. *sigh* And write a 6 page midterm (which isn't too bad, I know), and study for THE most difficult chapter in the entire 200-level book for Japanese. What does it tell you when you can't go to your fellow students from Japan to get help on the chapter because they don't know it either? That it's really damn hard, that's what. My brain is full. Can I be excused?
