I have been alone TOO LONG today. Much, much, *much* too long. I have probably posted about 15 tweets. That means that at least 11 of those were complete crapola. I have looked at websites that i know very well have not been updated since thursday, and will not be updated for many more hours. I have checked my e-mail 78 times. its a combination, i’m sure, of the isolation and boredom that are making the aloneness as affecting as it is. That’s the thing with finals; not only are you going crazy because you’re trying to pack so much information into your head, but you’re also going crazy because you don’t have time for any real socializing, so you’re sitting alone with your laptop for hours at a stretch, dreaming about what it’ll be like to go to bed early without guilt again, or to sit still for a few minutes without flashcards or an outline in your hand to read. on the other hand, if i ever get thrown in solitary by some corrupt foreign government, i’ll be harder to crack than the rest of those wimps. Been there and done *that.*
