My Semester, in Under a Minute

Normally I like to write really long-winded, overly-earnest musing about my life. I like to take some small event, like walking up a hill or missing my exit on the interstate, to frame a heartfelt confession about how hard it is to live without Dad around. Or how hard it is to be an adult. Or how hard it is to be a teacher.

But today, I don't have the time. Today, I realized I'm slightly (read: extremelyveryalot) behind on work. I need to save my words and actually write that paper for my Teaching College Writing class that I've been procrastinating for ages. (I do appreciate the irony!)
