a conversation with my mother.

My family came to visit this weekend. Within five minutes of arriving, the following conversation ensued:

Mom: "So how are things going? I know you've been so busy lately..."

Me: "Ugh. To be honest, this week has been insane. I finally finished grading midterms and papers, and doing that while trying to catch up on other work since spring break has just made everything so much crazier. And, I have a paper due on Monday! I swear, I've been so busy, I literally haven't had time to eat."

Mom: "Oh, I was just thinking that you looked like you lost weight. You should be busy more often!"

Me: "Um. Thanks?"
