Gonads and Strife.
Yeah, ok... so I failed my New Year's Resolution about posting immediately after making it, but maybe I'm just warming up to it. Gotta get into the routine right?
So here is an anecdote from today that may or may not be satisfactory for an inaugural post.
I did it again. I zoned out. Completely lost track of time. Something about the space: the homogeneity of the walls, the echoing silence. Time and responsibility melt away as physical and mental relief coalesce, enfeebling the senses. My mind is a prisoner within my body within that wooden box.
A door opens, a man coughs. I snap back to attention, to reality, to panic.
20 seconds later I flush. I am 5 minutes late to class.
