I miss my cat

I am in the library right now at the facultad. As you can see I am hard at work on discussing the metaphysical sense of time that characterizes Jorge Luis Borges's short story, "La Espera." I really have no inspiration or motivation to write this essay and the only two things I am thinking about right now are 1. I'm hungry, and 2. I think I'll cook some pasta tonight.

I guess I don't feel that bad about not staying on task right now. I look around and the girl next to me is on Facebook. The guy across from me is Skyping with his girlfriend; I can see her face on his screen (this last sentence sounds a bit raunchy, no?) And, the couple to my diagonal work at two-minute intervals, stopping to kiss each other at the end of each. As for me, my head needs a rest. I had two midterms today back-to-back so I was literally composing essays for three hours without rest and then I still had one more class after that. Needless to say, I was daydreaming througout that entire last class, letting my head float away into la-la land. I swear those mental lapses are the best vacations one can have sometimes.

Okay that is all really. I will now log off Blogger and pretend that I'm going to return working on the Borges essay (I really wish I could believe my own idealism). But before I leave I will ask you the question that the pop-up from dictionary.com just asked me and the rest of the library out loud, "¿Sabes cómo conseguir una piel tan lisa y suave?"

Next time I come to the library to procrastinate I'll remember to put my laptop on mute.
