Ennui... or something like it.

Aha! I've found another way to avoid doing Chemistry homework and intend to milk it for all it's worth.

Today in class I was suddenly transported to Martha's Vineyard. I could feel the sandy grit under my bare feet on the painted porch steps, hear seagulls, smell sunscreen and salty air, feel the wind playing in my hair. It was so real it took me a while to convince myself I actually was still sitting in my rather uncomfortable desk listening to Professor Wicht talk about converting alcohols into alkenes. I want a summer, damn it.

Don't get me wrong. Orgo is going fine, I find it interesting, blah blah blah. But I've been finding it increasingly difficult to sit down and do work. I come home and watch crap TV until my brain is mush. I look for things to eat when I'm not hungry. I unload the dishwasher and feed the cats and basically use any excuse to stay away from my textbook and homework problems. I just finished Monday's homework today, and I have a test tomorrow.

So I suppose I should really get back to work. I love seeing all the pictures Drew and Seth have been posting. I want more! Give me something to look at instead of acid and base reactions, please. Missing you all and hoping that you are having the most lovely of summers...

ps- read the latest Harry Potter book and absolutely loved it. Best yet of the bunch. Decided chemistry is like potions. (Yet I still think Hewlett Packard when reading H.P.)
