The end of the term is approaching, and I have been spinning recently. Too much work to do…can I be blamed for being distracted? Maybe I can; it seems to me that I am begging for distraction…
When I was studying for my next test, I all of a sudden realized that I had missed an episode from one of the TV shows that I have been following, The Good Wife. Naturally, the show can wait; it is not as if Alicia would stop becoming a lawyer because I have not been giving her full attention. Frankly, given how crazy her legal, political as well as personal life has been, I am afraid that she hardly notices me…
All of a sudden, I totally lost my cool. I felt the world had been destroyed because I have not seen the last episode in time. I did not have my laptop with me at that time, so I took a taxi to go home, which I did not always do. After I got off the taxi, I ran all the way to my room. Out-of-breathly, I saw the episode, which is not particularly impressive.
Why was I in such a hurry? I mean, I like The Good Wife, it is a wonderful show, but…I do not like it that much. I have missed one or two episodes before, and it never mattered. As I mentioned at the beginning, chances are that I was in such a desperate need of distraction. My actual life was pushing me over the edge and I needed something different, something that is not what I am actually having. As for what it is exactly, it is not important, at all.
Distraction, sometimes, can be life-saving
