The Symptoms Of My Insanity (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I have to stop sneaking out of class to go to the art room. It’s not right. Even if I do have a nineteen-year-old substitute who basically takes a nap while I’m writing out the Krebs cycle. Even if it does mean I get the art room all to myself. I practically skip to the drying rack to grab one of the canvases I primed last week. After throwing on my smock, I take a deep breath. I love the way it smells in here, like paint and glue and dust and old clothes. I squirt out some red paint and some blue and lots of white, then dip some paper towel in a little water and use it to blend the colors across the canvas. I didn’t intend to ditch the last half of bio, but when I was writing out my Krebs cycle and trying to remember what happens when plant cells are respiring, I kept thinking about human cells respiring and about glucose and our conversion systems, and what a big deal it was last summer when my mom’s system wasn’t … converting. But it is now. So I decided Pam was definitely overreacting about Mom being so nauseated that she needs constant organic ginger.
