It's 11:00 PM and I just got home from school and I thought I would share with you something that I just did that should give you an idea of what is happening to my head lately: I started getting undressed at school. Let me explain . . .
I got up this morning before 6:00 and I've been at school working non-stop all day. I had some mock interviews I had to participate in tonight so I was in my shnazzy three-piece-suit. After the interviews my study group and I gathered for the 3,000th time today to spend a few more hours going over some material for tomorrow.
At about 10:40, after a few very intense hours, we decided to call it quits for a few hours so everyone could go home and sleep. As we got up and started packing all of our books and laptops, I started getting undressed as if I was at home getting ready for bed. I can't explain what was happening and I know it sounds crazy but I was simply not thinking about it. So I took off my jacket, vest, and tie and I kicked off my shoes. I unbuttoned my shirt and got most of the way down when someone asked a general question about our schedule tomorrow and I sort of snapped back into it and realized that I wasn't home yet. I thought about just covering it up because it seemed like nobody had noticed what had happened until someone looked over, gave me a weird look, and cautiously asked what I was doing. The really sad thing is that when I told everyone that I thought I was home so I started getting undressed, nobody acted like that was such a weird thing (all of our brains are gone). After a few moments I think we all sort of realized how crazy it was and we had a good laugh after that.
But really, what is wrong with me? I'm going crazy. That's what's wrong.

Oh my gosh. I don't know what to say. All I do know is that I can't stop laughing!!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, one of my biggest fears is that I'm losing my mind and that one of these days I'm going to do something really crazy in public and not even know that I did it until it shows up on the 5 o'clock news. At least you snapped out of it before anything worse happened ;)
That's really funny, Eli. You must be working too hard. Either that, or you just felt like giving a strip tease to the girls in your study group.
ReplyDeleteEli...there is nothing wrong with you that a weekend home and your mother's chicken soup and homemade rolls wouldn't cure! How about it?? love, Mom xoxo
ReplyDeletePS Yes, you can bring your study group. Sounds like they could all use some.....
PSS I have to admit this was pretty funny...wish I had a video of it!
Eli, :( ....son, dear, honey...I would really like to hear something a little more uplifting when I check out your blog.....how about something from Mary Poppins like "A Spoonful of Sugar" or "Supercalifragilisticexpialadoshious" or even "Chim-Chim-meney, Chim-Chim-meney" would be nice. It would help all of our spirits!
ReplyDeleteMom :)
PSS Love your pots! You are the best writer I know!
ReplyDeleteI mean "posts"! (man! I am messing this blog up something terrible!
ReplyDeleteEli, I am going to leave 5 comments, because Mom left 4 comments and I decided that my life is too boring, so I will be like the lady who has to "one-up" everyone else......so: I started to undress last week in public, only I snapped out of it sooner. And my study group and I meet more than you and your study group! And I am losing my mind more than you are! :) (That last one really is the truth)! :( Well, hope everything else is going well! Let me know if I can do anything for you - I'M SERIOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteEli...we're all crazy in this family. You should know that by now!
ReplyDeleteyup Eli, you are losing it. you are waaay too funny!
ReplyDeleteNot crazy, just tired! Not so strange either after a very long day. Great writing, you are a good story teller!
