Shakin' Stevens

Imagine you're sitting in your university library, studying. You look up, and you notice a girl sitting a few seats along from you. Every time she stops typing, you notice a slight tremor in her fingers, still poised to continue their work. What would you assume about her?


This is something that concerns me sometimes - today in particular. See, I am that girl. I've been working on an essay today, and every time I stop to think what to write next, I notice my fingers quaking like leaves caught in a breeze....



I'm still not entirely sure why they shake; they don't always do it. Today though, I'm pretty sure my body is punishing me for daring to walk to my orthotics appointment instead of driving. Which is annoying, because it means I can't really go to my aquafat class this evening, and I prefer the Monday one to the Wednesday one. If I did go tonight, the chances are I wouldn't feel safe driving home again.



And I was looking forward to going as well. Bummer. :(
