Recap: A thousandth of a wish

I wonder if the wish is made
One per thousand paper cranes
How much magic can each crane take
If magic can be explained...

Lovely, lovely weather today (which, I feel, is never the less ruined by the fact that it's a Monday. There is something about the sheer Monday-ness of it that is bound to cast a shadow on all things beautiful). I have a class in exactly 44 minutes, a midterm this afternoon with 499 other students (yay gigantic lecture halls) and here I sit, trying to remember the exact wordings to Dread Mary the Mermaid's song:
No gold or silver but buttons for me
No gold or silver but buttons
Gold and jewels are fine for fools
But buttons oh buttons oh buttons

No sanity, doesn't quite factor in either. It seldom does. Yesterday morning I, being strange and unusual in a dorm of other college students, got up early and went by, on my way out, to check up on my plants which are in the lounge and noticed Trevor sleeping on the floor by the coffee table. One learns, after a while, not to question such things. While on my way out there is a girl running around in an evening gown. One learns not to question those types of things too. Or why there's a plastic skull on a stick on the lounge table. College dorms, no matter where you are, have very cryptic factors built into it's very...er...wooden planks (was going to say 'stones'). I was contemplating (yesterday) writing a story about the elves who reshuffle your flashcards and steal your socks. It will be like the tale of "The Elves and the Shoemaker" except, obviously, not.

Good luck, Lucy, with your class scheduling (I'll have to start worrying about mine again in approximately one month). And as for the online catalogues...when I draw things chances are, more likely than not, that I'm hiding in the lounge where internet is not an option, so I was thinking more along the lines of a convenient way to just conjure cloth images in my head. I've realized that if there're guys around I'll just copy the style of their clothing. It made it easier. So that's a way to, if not solve, then at least prudently avoid the problem.

Everyone around me is going apartment hunting now. Alas, the season has begun!

I focus too much on visual and audio input when writing descriptions. It reflects my own perception, but I shall make an effort to start mentioning all the other senses as well.
