In praise of mood altering substances

It's time to select classes for the fall semester, which means it is also time for my bi-annual identity crisis. Who am I? What do I want to do with my life?

All of these questions would be much more distressing if I was not drinking my catmint tea- it is slightly intoxicating and tinges my thoughts with a blissful, happy sort of feeling. I am no longer paralyzed by thought. I can slow down and smile long enough to accomplish what I need to. My homework seems to be getting itself done. I turn around and the yard has de-weeded itself, all the plants are watered, and the seedlings are transplanted and thriving.

Without the tea I'm a mess. Barely hanging on, as it were.

Thank god or whoever for these little beautiful, comforting things.
