Random Thought #16: The Gracefulness of the Awkward Turtle

I found myself doing the awkward turtle recently and it was unintentional. It’s funny seeing how we display our feelings subconsciously. I was taken aback because I didn’t want to be rude but man, this person was kind of making me feel awkward. It’s like “chut up!”

Other than that, moths have invaded my dorm. I used to be an advocate for moth rights because I understood them to be “misunderstood butterflies of the night.” The thought of killing them never crossed my mind. I would always grab a napkin, scoop them up and free them outside. However, when there’s a swarm that won’t go away and a low-tolerance for handling each and every one of them humanely during midterms week, priorities change . I don’t want them to eat my clothes or my sanity! I can see that the moth balls are obviously not working. Must add more…

I tried studying today in this heat which failed miserably initially. Before buckling down and doing chemistry, I played MGMT’s “Time to Pretend” on repeat all day. It’s a depressing song but it made me all fuzzy and introspective inside. I guess it inspired me to do my homework just so I wouldn’t have a dead-end job. Thanks MGMT!
