stick eyes

today was a quick-bite-to-the-lungs-it's-so-cold day
i just wanted to hibernate under covers (and maybe do other things under covers) -- or pull out my wool socks and sweat pants and do the internet thing... maybe i just wanted to chase the sun west, with a quick pit stop in that city by the lake.

maybe i'm just real sick of being here. i'm restless. and honestly, i could scream my trachea bloody -- monotony and disappointment has staked out it's territory on this campus and i am ready to pack my bags and abandon a stagnant pool without forgetting to swat the knats as i leave. so there.

and i have decided today that i am not as emotional as everyone says -- i have a rational side. otherwise i would have quit school.
