Ack. Glug. Gulp. Gasp.

I had the worst idea for my blog today.

So I am writing to you let you know that you're pretty lucky that I edit myself and occasionally nix bad blog post ideas before I've even written them.

The idea: take a photo a day of the hole that one day might just turn into a metro stop down the street from my apartment. It was a great idea for 30 seconds. Then I realized it was an idea borne out of desperation and these are never good ideas.

How did I get so desperate to find myself considering photographing a hole you may ask?

Well, the end of the school year is closing in on me and once again I've found myself with more work to do than hours in the day.

Most days I walk to and from school. It's a good time to think. I think about a lot of great things: Music. Shoes. Books. Boys. Philosophy. Flowers. Travel. How horrible the traffic is in Sofia and how I hope to god that I don't get hit.

Sometimes I take the bus. A girl has got to do that from time to time. Like when I am running late or when I think I am going to get caught in a giant thunder storm. Recently I've been thinking about what I'll be teaching, which students I need to touch bases with, how many photocopies I need to make and whether it's a one or a two coffee day. There've been a lot of two coffee days recently.

On the way home from school, I think about how happy I am to be walking home (rather than still sitting at my desk), if I have anything to make for dinner (which has been pretty questionable recently), which things I can put off grading for another night (not much) and what I should write about on my blog. Given the current state of affairs in my life, it's actually pretty amazing that I ever get around to writing anything on my blog.

But back to the point, today I reached an all new low. <!--more-->

I was thinking: What can I write a blog post about? What? What? What?

Followed by: Why am I such a boring person? How is it that I work so much? What have I done with my week?  (Yes, it's only Tuesday.)

Maybe this is the end, maybe I will never write another blog post.

That's when I realized: I could start a photo of the day series! A photo a day of the giant hole that may in fact one day turn into the Mladost 3 Metro stop. The only problem is that the hole has basically looked exactly the same for the last three months.

Sometimes there's more garbage around the gaping hole in the ground than other times but really it's just a really big hole with concrete in it at this point. Sometimes I try to imagine what it will be like to have a metro stop down the street from me but I can't.

About this point, I also realized: I am boring. Yes, <em>I am bored with my own idea</em>. Gross.

So I decided there will be no Mladost-3-metro-hole photo of the day series. See, this is why you're lucky that every once in a while I edit myself.

I also decided that I should probably do something <em>really</em> fun this weekend. And maybe I'll start a count down to summer break.
