what do i really mean when i say (in response to "what's up/how are you") "the usual"
"the usual" means mugging and drinking coffee and eating too much Combo rolls and lifesavers candy plus having a Thali lunch during the weekend.
"the usual" means pacing about the room trying to write my weekly essay and doing last minute revision and sleeping at 1 am during the weekdays.
"the usual" in the lab means screwing up sometimes, and having small successes.
"the usual" does not mean I went to the pub and got myself blisfully tipsy and I had a nice weekend with no work to do. that would be in the category of "not bad".
There can be no rest for the wretched nor the enslaved. Hence there is never anything that amounts to "oh it was good" at this time.
Hence, my weekend was "the usual" :) Welcome to my mundane life.
