Imaginaries, my dears…I’m quite concerned about your well-being. It seems you are becoming…less imaginary. And much more bored. 20 views to my blog yesterday, surely I don’t have enough to say to warrant 20 views? Ah, well, I thank you all the same, although I am certain you won’t return to see my thanks.
Regardless, I will continue. Today, Imaginaries, I imposed my will on two unsuspecting papers. I do not consider this cruelty at all, in fact I consider it to be quite the opposite. I will turn them in tomorrow to a person that wants them much more than I do, and perhaps they will find a wonderful home until they are recycled. Ah, the life of a paper. Despised when assigned, despised while being written, despised while being corrected, and then recycled.
What’s that you say? I’ve lost my mind, you say? I’m personifying inanimate objects and giving them a life story, then sympathizing with them? Ah…so I am. You’ve caught me, Imaginaries. But for the first time in a while, I found myself in a fantastic mood, despite the papers. Today was a gorgeous day, with a chilling yet bracing cold, with the kind of crisp air that reminds you to appreciate the simple things. Or maybe that is just me, perhaps? Well, all the same, the cold was refreshing, and when I have been refreshed from the constant stale monotony of everyday life I tend to talk to and personify inanimate objects. And write especially wordy, melodramatic blog posts, as evidenced here.
But I don’t care how silly I sound, Imaginaries, because today marks the first day the semester looks like it is nearing its resolution. The air is crisp, the mountain of homework is shrinking, and the holidays finally appear to be slightly closer than eons away. I am, for the first time in months, a happy college student. I am a happy college student because I am coming upon one of the few times of the year I get to pretend I am not, in fact, a college student. I’m sure there is some sort of symbolism or irony or other literary device there, but I’m too tired to look for it. I leave you with an apology for another substance-less entry and a sincere wish that whatever you do with your life in the next 24 hours you enjoy heartily.
Perhaps I owe you something, Imaginaries…Well, here are a few more random links, thanks to my Adventures in StumbleUpon.
An 8th grade exit exam from 1895:

DamnInteresting.com. Enough said, right?

Very cool place with graphical representations of different types of information, statistics, opinions, so on.
Alright, that’s all you get. I need to be in bed two hours ago, Imaginaries. Have a great night, all of you.
