Voices

Somewhere in this house there is a radio, and it's on, so I can faintly almost hear voices and music, but not enough to find the source. It's kind of irritating/spooky/argh! Our frost has turned now to rain, which will hopefully NOT turn to ice tomorrow. I am sitting at the computer, trying to understand stupid, wretched, evil, twisted, sadistic, incomprehensible Economics. It doesn't help that I'm trying to learn it by reading, which, I never realized before, I don't do very well. In a subject like this, I need to hear the professor present it, especially since they tend to condense and simplify. *sighs* It's really, really hard not to get depressed. Poor Joel. This makes two nights in a row now when he's had to deal with me wallowing in the murky mire of self-pity and recriminations while attempting Econ. And the worse part is, there's really nothing he can do. Other times when I'm depressed he can be sweet and kinda jolly me out of it, but when I'm depressed because my homework isn't done and it's the end of the term and I'm staring down the barrel of the cannon that is This Friday.... well... I'm afraid there's not much he, or anyone else for that matter, can do from a distance. What I really needed was a good long hug. But tomorrow is another day and I'm sure I'll be bouncy and cheerful enough to sicken all but the strongest of stomachs. And YES MOTHER, I KNOW I AM A LAZY SLACKER!!!!
