Because sometimes life gets in the way...

Hello there. Long time, no see. Or rather, should I say blog?

Yes, yes. I am a victim of the infamous blogger wasteland where we bloggers hideout for weeks, sometimes months at a time while our blogs remain barren. Why, you may ask? What could cause me to desert my cause? Why would I abandon my literary practice?

Because life happens.

We all have those days where we just can't seem to get it right. We try to make things fit where we want them to, and we fail miserably. We try to find the time to do everything we need to do, yet there is never enough time in the day. Sadly, my friends, life gets in the way. Whether it's a job, or class (midterms were brutal, in case you were wondering), or trying to find extra time to see our friends, we eventually have to make sacrifices. Sometimes that means going weeks without seeing our friends or getting no sleep before a huge test. In my case, it means neglecting my blog. I apologize, but I am only human. In a perfect world, we would not have to spend time driving, or putting on makeup, or working out. We could use that time meaningfully. We could cuddle with our boyfriends without absentmindedly worrying about our French quiz the next morning. Until that day arrives, though, I will forever be addicted to Starbucks lattes, perpetually late to my classes, and occasionally neglectful to my homework.

As the french would say, laissez-faire!
