What most college students are doing right now, however, is not what I was just doing. Most college students did not just finish writing a response paper on Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Except, of course, the nine other people in class with me, but I'm willing to bet that they all finished the paper before midnight, unlike me. After this, I picked out what Vacation Bible School I'll be directing. You heard me correctly. I, Cathryn Elyse Watkins, 22-year-old, will be heading up the team that plans Vacation Bible School. For the first time. With no previous directing experience. By myself. I feel a little like the wounded fish in the ocean right before the shark eats it. But I'm sure I'll be fine. Right? Riiiiiiiiiight. And after THAT, I sent a few emails to professors and one to the people that belong to the Academic Student Council, of which I am president. I've been a busy little bee.
Also unlike most college students, I want to write some more. I know you're shocked, but there you go. My brain won't shut off, and I keep bouncing off several different trains of thought. The most prevalent ones are the book I just finished, how my brother is doing at home, how much my neck hurts, and an irrational lust for hot chocolate at this very moment.
For those of you that don't know, Toni Morrison is a prevalent African American author who has won a Nobel Prize for her book Beloved. Her books are dark, to put it lightly. They deal with things I'd rather not think about ever, but her word choice is so beautiful. She makes love to the English language in her novels, and for that I can overlook the novel topics that make my tummy squirm in revulsion.
Another thing that makes my tummy squirm in revulsion is the possibility that a few people in particular are reading this blog. I'm pretty sure not many people are, but that's not what this blog is about anyway. This blog is, like Gerkin in "Sydney White"says, "not about being read. It's about being written." I realize I sound like a dork for that quotation, but that's okay. I like myself just the way I am. But these two people in particular are back home, and while I haven't blogged about one of them, I've definitely blogged about the other one. I don't think either one of them has my url, so I'm hopeful that they aren't reading this.
About the person I haven't blogged about yet. First, it's a girl and I hate her. Well, not hate, but strongly dislike. I can't imagine her being in my life on a daily basis, but it appears she's here to stay. One day I'll crack my knuckles, grab a huge bag of chocolate, and write a blog post about her because the things she did are truly worth judgement by all. But I'm tired and running out of things to talk about, so I'm going to bed. Besides, I have to be up in seven hours and ready to take a quiz by 9:30.
Night all.
