Button-down shirts and 280 chairs in this room, slouching inherently uncomfortable. Nervous giggles, but aren’t porphyrins cool? So much time in a basement, you’d think I was a vampire. “I will definitely be doing that, I guess is my answer.” I wish all fields one could study had their own shorthand primed for rapid notetaking. Jargon is too verbose!
oh no so tired

the day is like one day. will it get done? the more i do the more there is.
Bought a whole bunch of flowers still in seed form, I think I will plant them carelessly outside my window and hope for some nonzero percent yield. The directions are very specific, and in the metric system.
ultimate sunburst.
How much energy in one Thin Mint?

It’s the Girl Scouts cookie-peddlin’ season again. The only one I binge on (Thin Mints) is illustrated unappetizingly with a gaggle of open-mouthed girls with helmets (upside-down white bowls?) atop their heads. I can’t decide if they are exhilarated from recent rock climbing, or if their exuberance is in anticipation. Either way, they don the awkward nylon crotch-guard – safety harness for mid-air suspension. Four cookies (Thin Mints, obviously, but they are labeled in funky font anyway) are placed somewhat menacingly beneath the girls, so perhaps those wide grins can be reinterpreted as grimaces of terror. The Thin Mints are coming!!
Bought ’em yesterday. I pretended to be a twitching addict, paranoid side-looks, trembling hands passed over eight dollars, then effusively thankful. My unwitting dealer stood beside her mom, and I tried to reconstruct the father from their small unlikenesses.
