So close to the finish line. This course, however...sheesh.
There are times when I will do literally anything to find a way not to write. Fortunately, it's not often but some days are tougher than others. I'll do things I absolutely hate just to avoid writing. With an upcoming vacation on the horizon, I feel a lot of pressure to get ahead in this course and write papers back to back. My mind is not cooperative. If I have to complete a paper while basking in the ocean breeze, so be it. But my mental stamina is suffering right now contemplating writing anything more than the bare minimum. Hopefully it's just a phase.
What's funny about July's Book Club book is that no matter how much or how little I try, I will forever be attracted to the ocean. It calls to me like a siren song of proportions I cannot fathom. Or maybe I'm just ready for a vacation.
July Book Club
In other news, I received an invitation to return to game night! If you'll remember several weeks ago, there was concern my Sailor mouth would ban me from all civil company. Alas, I behaved myself (minus the winning part, of which I did, of which no one really liked). So odd. This time I proudly announced "I came to win!". No confusion there. And, Spare Parts won this time. We're a bit of a force to be reckoned with.
Mini had an opportunity to attend VBS since she missed both Texas and Tennessee's sessions. She makes friends like I do - presumably by talking too much and dragging them along on her adventures. It works for us. She has also befriended a much younger girl whom she reads to and plays in the pool with. Henceforth, I am prepared for inquiries for a baby sister when she returns. To be clear, we've had this discussion several times and my appropriate Naval answer is always "that ship has sailed."
Sailed. And then sank. No possibility of recovery. She'll just have to embrace being an only child. Somehow I have no doubt she'll find a way.
