finals time…

Oh, it is most definitely finals time. And paper submission time. Leaving my couch happens on rarer and rarer occasions, food comes from cans and human contact is succinct and always mediated.

Thankfully, i have The Onion to remind me of what happens when hyper-focus goes wrong:

“Taking Ritalin to study is very dangerous. If you let your focus drift, you’ll spend the night scrubbing your telephone.”
