Writing: Do Not Want

I take my finals for my econ and marketing classes this weekend, and then school is officially over, major work deadlines and raise-related stress are done, and it’s full-on book mode for the rest of the summer.

AND YES MY ENTIRE BEING IS REBELLING AGAINST THIS HARSH REALITY.

DO. NOT. WANT.

But it’s time to face the facts:

It’s time for the deathmarch.

It will not be pleasant.

There will be blood, and sand, and more people will die at the end of it.

But Nyx will learn how to shoot a gun, the red desert will fall into the right hands, and a three centuries old holy war will finally wrap itself up.

Um, this will also ensure than I see two more checks next year.

Let’s not forget that there are now checks involved.

Which is probably part of my rebellion.

DO. NOT. WANT.

But it’s coming.

Like it or not.
