The Moonlighting Student

Edging toward summer

Maybe it’s the gravitational pull of the moon or arching solar flares, but I’m feeling some strange unrest. It isn’t terrible, it’s not like I’m depressed or anxious. The feeling is more akin to listening to a mediocre singer. Every now and then they lose pitch, if just for a moment. It isn’t noticed as much as felt. Anytime these mental ripples passes through I remind myself to be patient and wait them out.

Of course I can’t tell you the cause. I don’t know exactly. Though if I reflect on it I would realize this happens. Probably something to do with the time of year. Maybe it’s pronounced because I’m in school. Around this time summer is just over the next hill…or maybe the one after that. Not far I’m sure. I can smell it on the breeze.

It’s there, lurking, lurching closer. Already we have plans for just about every month. Fun stuff with friends. But right now, exams are between me and those hills. This is also the time at work where we evaluate what we want to accomplish over the next year, what direction we want our personal and professional lives to move. Look around. Reflect and project. Plan and anticipate. Farikah nah tah.

And I have a cold or something. I’m feeling congested. Ha, maybe that’s all it is, a cold. Perhaps I’m just loquacious and analytical. That would be typical of me. Time to get dressed and go to work.
