What about...

The tea leaf reader at last year's holiday tea predicted I would meet a boy.  "Don't let him distract you from your work, it's very important." she said.  I wondered who she meant, half believed and half didn't.  But it was possible.

This was my crite sheet for Sculpture, my only class:

 
 
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Course: Sculpture II -- Professor: Ganzglass, Marc --
 
Student: Margaux Robles
Final grade: C
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mid-term Comment:
From the first day Margaux has been a vital member of the class, not just contributing to discussions and work
in the studio but actively adding to the direction the class itself is taking. She is a great observer and
seeks out experiences and unexpected opportunities within each assignment. Margaux is highly motivated and
will really benefit from engaging in in-depth and expansive projects.

Final Comment:
Margaux began the semester strong but then seemed to let off the gas mid-semester. She had interesting ideas
for projects but then either compromised them or scaled them back too much. She still contributed in class
conversations and studio work but the disparity between her engagement there and the work she did on her own
time was palpable. Her positive energy was noticeably absent from the final critique.

I started hanging out with Ben in mid-November, spending most days with him until the last day of class.  I worked on my owl until after it was due.  I did not even put the finishing touches when Ben drove me to the train station to leave town.

This is actually happening.  Should I stop it?  Can I stop it?  How?  I am currently rather tipsy, and trying to get a simple thought on paper, but it sounds like a genuine worry. It isn't.
