Vergonzoso!

It used to be the case that I could belt out some amphigoric pontification whenever I pleased on this blog, and indeed I did. It seems these days, however, that it has been reduced to a mindless rant of ceaseless complaining and self-indulgent misery. In essence, the quality of my blogging has declined markedly since its peak, and this entry shall be another fine example of my pitiful decadence. In point of fact, my decay is nothing short of endemic. Today's failure pertained to two long tests. The first was the much-feared AP chemistry examination. While I did not feel raped by the test, it wasn't an experience I felt particularly good about either. It was one of those obnoxiously ambiguous feelings. Following this, I went to Reed to take my economics final. I did extraordinarily poorly on it--not because it was difficult, but because I am an utter imbecile and because I was a bit shaky on regional trade agreements due to my two days of absence from lecture. Absolutely imbecilic. It was made all the worse by the fact that when I took my test back to my professor's office she was very complementary and congratulatory of my performance and future attendence of Chicago, unaware of my true idiocy on the test despite my allusions to having performed miserably on it. She did mention, however, that I scored 6 out of 8 correctly on the true/false section, which was only the beginning of my stupidity.

I think I shall go for a run and then write. I only have 22,000 words left to go. I figured that writing about an insane person would be the perfect subject for the assignment.
