Keeping up appearances











I'd like to attribute today's well-executed exam to my shaven armpits. The state of the body is incredibly significant on these important days. Shaving metaphorically clears the mental clutter. No stubble = focused testing. When I go to an interview I wear my craziest undies. A party under my skirt = confident social exterior.

Unfortunately, the state of my room has not fared so well. The pile of dishes grows on my desk because I am afraid that putting even one dirty teaspoon in the kitchen sink will set my flatmate's mother off on another cleaning spree. Sunday she spent the entire day sanitizing, and our flat is like two feet wide. I'm fairly certain she vacuumed the bathroom.

There is nothing wrong with vacuuming the bathroom.

I do it twice a week.

I think I'm crazier than your flatmate's mom.

Kristen, you will have a long and healthy life while I am sure to disintegrate among my own dust bunnies.
