Yesterday, as I left the house early in the morning I noticed that there was a great deal of moisture in the air. There’s a lake beside my residence, and a heavy fog was set right over it. The fog was spilling out onto the street making cars in the distance look like mere points of light on the horizon. The ducks and geese in the lake were silent and huddled in the water. Honestly, it almost felt like time was standing still.

That day, I had a lab early in the morning. I wasn’t functioning at full capacity, and it seemed like part of the time I was in complete silly mode. My work day stretched out well into the night because of a midterm exam in my sociology class. I was scrambling all day to find moments to crack open my sociology text to absorb as much information as possible. I’m not sure whether I was successful or not, but at this point I’m not going to worry about it anymore.

This morning stood in stark contrast to the feel of yesterday morning. There was no veil of fog resting on the lake. It was quite clear. The ducks and geese were flying in V-formations overhead. They were honking and quacking as if there was some big event that they were going to. Funny, some v-formations seemed to be heading northeast. Out of silliness I almost yelled out that they were going the wrong way. Although, it could have been that I had lost my bearings. Plus, I was afraid to look overhead for fear of getting shit on.

Today, I also had a lab early in the morning. Beforehand I made time to stop by Tim Hortons to get a bagel and a small coffee. I believe the food kept me grounded most of the morning. It wasn’t until after the lab when I dropped into full-tilt silly mode. I’d say things ran much more smoothly today.

I’m busy living life. This is how it all is meant to be.
