ridiculous: take 1.
it's been so long since i've run around in shorts.

the annoying thing about this country is that you're constantly clad in layers upon layers, and your legs throughout the winter are either covered by fabric of denim jeans or by stockings.
today i walked outside in a skirt to get groceries and i panicked. i wasn't used to the draft of wind against my skin and i felt almost indecent walking outside with my bare legs exposed.

good grief.

ridiculous: take 2
it's sunny outside but the weather forecast is gloomy within.

everything outside says you should go out and play. but i've been holed up in my room today, preparing for my very last undergrad exam and fretting over a thesis defense. my fair skin gets paler :(

fretting over a thesis defense

i have an insane fear that instead of a defense, i will crumble, succumb, surrender and conclude that i really do know nothing and turn into a stuttering mush during the presentation tomorrow.

yes. i know i'm being ridiculous.
