Preparation has a lot to do with how well one handles things. Did you do your homework? Then, ideally, you will be prepared to do well on this test. Unless you find out you picked up the wrong text at the college bookstore, you're in the wrong class and have done preparatory work that would have helped someone else but is completely and utterly useless to you.

My early life trained me well to live by directing vast amounts of energy toward intellectual pursuits, avoiding people much of the time because I'd figured out early on that most people would hurt and betray me given half a chance. Then I ended up with an illness that drains my energy, leaves me unable to concentrate on the things I trained myself to do for so long--but somehow I ended with more and more wonderful friends than I would have thought possible when I was younger. I don't have a clue how to make a life out of this. Somebody with a completely different background would have no problem with it, I'm sure.



On an unrelated note, whatever happened to Toni Childs? And why is an album called House of Hope one of the most depressing albums in my collection?

Thanks for commenting! I know on a rational level that we're all winging it, yet it's still frustrating when I think, "But I did everything I was supposed to do! Why doesn't it work anymore? Waaah!" And then I stand around spluttering with rage while the universe laughs at me.

I've got three Toni Childs CDs, so I know what you mean about "Where's the Ocean?" Have you heard The Woman's Boat? As far as I know, that was the last one she recorded.

It's a sunny day here--finally! We're supposed to get the rain back by Wednesday though, so the time for enjoying the big beautiful sun is limited. Still, it's good to see bright light and blue sky for a change.
