Almost finished with the paper. I would jump up and down with glee and delight, but I am so damn tired. All I can see is letters. Both kinds.
I have been making a list of books I want to read when this madness is finally over. Most of the books (over 60 percent, and I only know that because I have to take a final in whatever that math for basic idiots class that I should be embarrassed to take, except I don’t much care anymore, and we did a thing on percentages) are about young women coping with the impending specter of their own insanity.
(I think I will call it Phil. )
I am not surprised.
My best friend Mac is finishing her paper on Sylvia Plath. We know the tragic result of that topic.
My best friend Helena is wrapping up her paper on motivational speaking and goal setting and she is graduating at the top of our our class.
I have been reading letters and books about letters, books in the form of letters, books that contain letters and actually had an argument with St. Paul. That was a result of a very long night and some of my grandmother’s helpful suggestions.
So I wish I could say my attraction to a ringside seat at open mic night at the loony bin was a surprise.
