Retaining My Sanity

I've been told that insanity is the only sane response to our insane world but nevertheless I still struggle to maintain my reason. Fortunately, it seems that even now as the world is unveiling its great conspiracy to make me fail, a new avenue of relief has been opened to me.

The local pool has opened for the summer. Now everyday after class I take the three-minute walk, cutting through the elementary school to the swimming pool, where I can temporarily forget my anxieties while I swim laps. My vocabulary is insufficient to describe how nice it is to be able to do this.
