The Tell-Tale Twitch

I’ve done a lot of reading in the past few days. Mostly little articles in philosophy and more C.S. Lewis, nothing too bad, but it seems that the days of reading and academic pursuits have taken their toll. Two days ago my eye began twitching. It twitched off and on throughout the day, and I was often left attempting to read with one eye closed, or taking quick cat naps to get rid of the twitch. I thought that it might be a potassium deficiency, so I went to the covered market today and bought a bunch of bananas. I hate bananas.

I finished my first paper this evening and have my first tutorial session tomorrow afternoon. Some kids seem a bit nervous for their first meeting with the tutors; I guess I’m not too worried. I figure that I’ll make up for my lack of knowledge by pretty much being a chilled out entertainer and personality will win the heart of my tutor. So far, I’ve been able to pull the same trick back home. And if the tutor asks me why I can’t recall all my reading, I will blame it on the twitch; it was physically impossible for me to do homework.
