She had some trouble with herself
I'm at school way too early, and did that thing you do on buses sometimes when you fall asleep for a very short amount of time and have vivid dreams in the space of a couple of stops and wake up feeling groggy, confused, and slightly panicky at the prospect that you may have missed your stop.
Yesterday, my Writing prof was talking about language and how certain sounds denote specific feelings, and are represented in the way we express ourselves. For example, the "mmm" sound is usually present under passionate circumstances or in times of need. Which is really cool, because I think he has a point, and I was really impressed until he severly misquoted William Blake later in the lecture. That last sentence makes me sound like a pretentious literature snob, and I apologize. But still.
Let's all drink chai lattes and enjoy the sunshine and cherry blossoms and feel that deep sense of satisfaction from finishing essays on time, mk? And by finishing essays on time, I mean wasting the entire day reading fascinating literature that in no way connects to the subject matter in your essay.
