Fighting the Current

shadows of a pattern

For the past week or so I've lacked most motivation. Haven't been getting to my homework until about 9 o'clock or so, and rarely getting much done, leaving it for the next day. Just spent about another hour goofing off. I was writing my journal and drawing on my hand. In eighth grade, I used to draw really intricate patterns on my fingers when I was bored, or I'd design them on loose leaf. Today, it started out as a pattern around my pinky nail and then I just kept going. Stared at it a while, then took a picture, and then scrubbed my hand. There are still faint traces of ink on my fingers... I had no intention of making any coherent design, but by the time I was done, there were semi-compasses on my fingers and lines down my knuckles like a cat's retracted claws. Then I realized it looked something like a stylized tiger paw, so that's what I decided it was.

Twenty minute class-periods tomorrow. Hardly seems worth it. I know of at least two classes where we actually will work tomorrow. Trig/Precalc and AP US History.

It's almost 11 and I have little homework done. I have to write a reaction to a movie we watched, and connect it to the Morality book... ugh... The course seems to be going nowhere fast...
