On going back.

Fun with words:
"Goodnight Moon" (Brown) meets "Mad Girl's Love Song" (Plath).

Goodnight, Mad Girl

Goodnight to sleep, goodnight clear eyes and head
Stress disappeared but now consumes again--
Goodnight, Mad Girl; your summer's all but dead.

Goodnight, Me Time, and welcome, spots of red
As books and tests and teachers shuffle in
Goodnight to sleep, goodnight clear eyes and head.

Enjoy your one last leisure night in bed
New scheduling will drive you quite insane
Goodnight, Mad Girl; your summer's all but dead.

Goodnight to stillness; hope for calm will fade
Exit peaceful songs, parties, and friends
Goodnight to sleep, goodnight clear eyes and head.

Goodnight, messieurs, goodnight all sweet things said
Soon you'll be hard pressed to recall my name
Goodnight, Mad Girl; your summer's all but dead.

I should abscond to Istanbul instead
Or Cairo--Moscow?--Crete!--Israel again?
Goodnight to sleep, goodnight clear eyes and head.
Goodnight, Mad Girl; your summer's all but dead.


ahahahahahaha.
AM I NOT WITTY? WHAT? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. MAURICE! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!
Really, though. Tomorrow I have Biblical Hebrew, work at Independent Study, Modern Linguistics (I know, right? That's another story for another day), second-year Arabic, and Organic Chemistry. On the other hand, I think I have just enough money left in my account for tomorrow's 7:50 AM flight from SLC to Dubai. Not that I've checked.

Linguistics! Your favorite languages! I'm so happy for you. Sounds like you might enjoy your bachelors a lot more now. Not that I'm biased or anything...
