Lest you think I do nothing but ride the bus all over the place (Though I sort of wish that could be a job. If I were a creative writer for a living I would buy a bus pass and do all my thinking on the bus. There’s something about the stop and go bumpiness or the changing scenery of a bus ride that gets my mind in motion, too.), here is a list of the things I have done in the last seven days.
1. I got As on both my exams. I’ll have one more exam at the end of this semester along with three major papers. H1: Blogging will be inversely related to the amount of work required to finish those papers.
2. I broke out my Christmas vocal music. Not the stuff that you listen to when it’s Christmastime, the stuff you start preparing now for when you want to perform it at Christmastime.
3. I made a lunch appointment with a friend and then missed it because I was in this blind focus working on a paper that was due Thursday. Like, reminded myself the day before the appointment that I was having lunch tomorrow with a friend. The next morning, having slept little because my mind was working out the paper I had to write, I said nothing to my wife as she made me a lunch and packed it in my school bag. I don’t remember saying anything to anyone, in fact, as I ate my lunch alone and typed almost all day long. I didn’t realize it until he sent me an e-mail saying, where were you? Later that day, still in the same blind focus, I missed my regular bus time and got home later than usual. I finished my work about 9 p.m. that night.
4. I planted four trees on Saturday. It was cool to see the finished product, but really hard digging through rocky ground. So rocky, in fact, that we set the rocks aside and had enough to make a neat rock circle around each tree. It looks like we planned it that way.
