Why Am I So Scared?

Have you ever had a feeling that you can't explain? I'm not talking about attraction to a person or love or anything like that. There's always an explanation for that, even if you can't think of it.

Today, I feel paranoid. Somehow, I have this crazy feeling that something really, really bad is going to happen. Not like a natural disaster or a terrorist attack or a fire or anything, just something that will come as a really big emotional blow to me.

Here I am, minding my own business on the 4th floor of the KSU library. I put my book away having finished it during this 3 hour-long break (Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles). I check my Facebook and answer some of the wall posts and messages. And I'm hit with the most mind-numbing feeling that something is going to go wrong. I've tried distracting myself with Tumblr and Twitter, but I just can't shake this feeling.

Am I being ridiculous? Probably. It's making me very anxious. I'll let you know if I was right the next time I blog. God knows when that's gunna happen...

SUMMER READING IS HELL!

Can I tell you how much I hate summer reading? Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much! Book barbecue!

Hey, I'm just kidding (about the barbecue thing, I'm totally serious about hating summer reading).

I just find it completely ridiculous that schools give kids homework over summer vacation. What's the point? I mean, if you're going to give us homework, at least make it something that will help us to remember everything we learned the past year. When I go back to school, I'm like a blank slate. I forget nearly everything.

But do you know the worst part about the summer reading? More often than not, the books absolutely suck. Like, for example, this year I have to read five books: Tess of the D'Urbervilles, House of Spirits, Don Quixote, Prayers for Owen Meanie, and Myths to Live By. I've only read Tess, House of Spirits, and Myths to Live By so far. You know why I'm so far behind? Because I was stupid and started with Myths to Live By which was the most boring book I have ever pained my eyes with. It took me the entire month of June to complete.

I say we revolt. Okay, so maybe not revolt, but protest. Sign petitions. SOMETHING! Don't let the man put you down!

Until next time, can I have your number? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTFZyl7hfBw
