Confusion- I just do not understand. I don’t understand what is going on or how to do this. I sit and think for hours on end and come up with nothing. This is how I felt in AP Chemistry and AP Calc and it’s how I feel now. I always become lost in those classes and it was so frustrating not being able to understand.

Mistress J weighed heavy on my mind. Goddamn her. Her and her wretched games. I brought a bottle of fireball whiskey to my lips and took a prolonged swig. There was no burning sensation as I drank it‚ no bitter flavor or bite. I’d had too much alcohol that night to experience delicate‚ human sensations such as taste.
