returning to my mushroom amidst the stress

Tomorrow, I have Geography Paper 4. A rather useless paper, if you ask me, because obviously everyone is going to do super well on the "joke" Paper 5 and won't even need to look at Paper 4. Anyhow, no matter how much I try to shrug my shoulders and act like I don't care about it, I HAAAVE to at least try to study for it. I just must do a past paper, just to be on the safe side.

Geography is fun. You get to learn cool words like "wetted perimeter" and "rainshadow" and "quadrat" and "transect" and "demographic transition model" and "situ" and "attrition" and "hygrometer" and other various lingo. Sometimes, I want to do Geography just to be able to use these words in my everyday life.

"Oh yes, yes indeed, it's those darn agribusinesses that make our lives so difficult. If only they could just be nomadic farmers and be satisfied with that."

"No, it's not just desertification that's a problem. It's also the overcultivation and soil exhaustion. My, my. Those people don't know how to live sustainably."

"Haha! What a fantastic swash! This long-shore drift sure gets your adrenaline pumping! And the prevailing winds seem to be having a fine time this morning."

So yes. And I should probably be getting back to my work right now. I can't wait to write my literature essays. I'm really going to miss it when I'm in college.
