This is a brilliant idea, a brilliant idea. Just the other day I was staring out my window, watching the bright yellow and fiery orange leaves drift across a gray sky, and listening to the rain. (And to a ridiculous British rapper, but you know. That happens sometimes... British rappers... and such.) It's like there's a little chasm in my mind/heart where you guys are and I was thinking that this is the time of year when sounds like the rain or British rap echo through it.
It's the time of year when it feels like ages since I've seen any of you, because even if we're in the same state or oceans away there's a never-ending pile of projects and presentations and essays and it's like an impassable, unscaleable mountain range.
It's the time of year I feel like I should take up yodeling, because maybe that would be a good way to get around those mountains.
So I guess this is like... yodeling?
But a lot more tolerable and wonderful.
I don't even. I got four hours of sleep last night (er this morning) and then the train was late so I was late for an exam. And now I'm supposed to be in lecture being attentive and/or clever, but that can wait. I actually meant to write last night when I was supposed to be finishing a museum blog post, but when I read through the entries I got all teary-eyed and joyful and short of breath... and had to set Writing to You Guys aside.
I just have a lot of feelings. And a lot of sleep deprivation.
And I don't know how to post videos with this blogger contraption so here we go. It'll probably be just a lot of links, but I'll figure it out later. Now I have to go listen to my classmates talk about labor history.
My life at the moment.
"This Year" by the Mountain Goats. The chorus has been my unofficial anthem this semester. We'll see how well it worked as an anthem soon, I suppose.

ReplyDeleteLooks like this semester is setting a record high for amount of crap everyone has to do, eh?
And if you like, I'm sure Trisha or I could show you how to embed videos and whatnot from youtube or whatever (there's a little icon on the post page for it if you want to take a stab at yourself--assuming your toolbar is the same as ours. Did you ever get that cut business resolved?)
Ugh, I miss everyone. Can it be winter break now?
Oh Morgan, I do so miss you. I really miss all of you. I try not to think about it, but when I do it hits me like...well like a tiger-shark piledriver.
ReplyDeleteI am like in (just barely) the Appalachian Mountains. But they are totally scalable.
You know what I just realized? With Sarah in India, I am not the furthest one away anymore. It doesn't change anything, but it's kinda comforting.
Winter Break Officially starts on December 21st, though I will be done much earlier. However, I won't be back in town until Christmas Eve Day.
And you will make through this year, we all will.

This blog idea was so hilarious. I can tell who wrote the entry before scrolling down to see their name... and I also read it in their voice.
ReplyDeleteI can just hear you saying 'brilliant!'
You are cute even through words Morgannnn <3
Haha Rachel, yeah I guess I am the furthest away this year, and I understand completely why that is comforting.
ReplyDeleteI have a 30 page research paper due in like 5 days (Since we're sticking with a mountain theme it seems only appropriate to refer to this as the Himalayas...which I will hopefully be seeing soon) so we really are just all buried under mountains of crap. Luckily...my winter break starts in a week!!! sorry, that sounds disgustingly gloating, but after all the crap that's gone down these past couple of weeks, and all the crap yet to come, it's something I'm really looking forward to.
Keep going Morgan...you're almost there!
