Day 105: Midterms

For the past few days I have been unable to venture forth into the world to continue my journey to Mordor. Mid-terms have come and as always, they hit all at once. Over the past few days I have had to sit an examination or turn in a major project in all of my classes. Stress levels are high and sleep is almost nonexistent. I have been subsisting on highly caffeinated tea and the stash of granola bars and macaroni kept in my closet for emergencies.

One more day, two finals, and one project stands between me and freedom. It always amazes me how one day can drag out and leave me gasping for the air of a new one. There is so much to do and I have unfortunately left it all for the end. A warm rain and stagnant, humid air are my only companions as I work through the night, but I am always comforted that a new day will come, eventually, sometime in the distant future and then I will continue my journey on through Middle Earth. Until then I will continue to despair and procrastinate by writing this drivel instead of studying for midterms.
