Lifetime-r

I actually had a breakthrough in my piece last week. It felt incredible and a sense of relief also came over me. In order to be a good writer, I feel that it is crucial to be an excellent listener. I am a slow-pokey listener. When I hear something and it finally clicks in my head waaaaay later, I hit myself on the forehead with the palm of my right hand exclaiming, "duh, duh, duh." These days, I have had to rely heavily on my teacher to help me to listen more carefully. I'll just have to learn and get better. So, after the breakthrough, the words, "Here's the thing..." came out of my teacher's mouth. "Aw, shit," was the first two words that came to mind. He continues, "I do not think that you will be able to finish your thesis in time for Spring 2007." (Of course, he led up to it more nicely so that I would refrain from vomitting.)

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit," man that stinks. I am a slow-pokey writer as well. So, instead of rushing to have it finished for Spring 2007, it will have to be done in Fall of 2007. I am a "lifetime" student. I will never leave. It is the destiny that rests upon me. My only hope is that I either hit the jackpot or that B will make lots of money so that we don't have to eat ramen anymore. Oh well, at least I can take the computer/audio music class that I wanted to take. I'll just stick it out for one or one hundred more quarters.
