Winter, two years after graduation. It’s a shame that I’m sitting in my apartment doing absolutely nothing. Maybe I’ll paint. But then again, I’m feeling very drowsy. It’s only 4 P.M. Must be the rain. Suddenly, my stomach starts to growl. I haven’t been grocery shopping yet so I guess I’ll make a PB&J sandwich. I turned on the stereo and ate.
