Case of the Mondays

Today is Monday. It's one of those Mondays when I don't want to be in class... oh wait... It was a weekend at the lake, which, I'm sure, feeds into this whole I don't want to be HERE. Here's my thought on why...

Sunburn. I am sunburned. On some lake weekends, I don't come back sunburned and Monday isn't so bad. When I do have a sunburn, however, I am constantly reminded of where I was over the weekend. On the lake. In my swimsuit, I wasn't as hot or itchy, because it has the lines that are now burned on me. Monday morning comes around and I have to put on legitimate clothes, and they kinda hurt. Then, my hair is fixed and not in a ponytail... and the sunburn.

Currently, instead of floating on a raft in the lake and soaking up the sun, drink in one hand, book in the other, I am in a fluorescent-lit room, looking at the screen, listening to Dwighty P and the slow hum of the fluorescent lights. All reminding me that the week has only barely started.

Of course, Monday brings opportunity and freshness. That's amazing.
