Lesson in Translation

I thought it was about time that I provide you with a lesson in translating 'dilexitprior-lingo.'

The following statements were made on this blog in recent history:

"On that note, I've decided that eating balanced meals and sleeping are more valuable than blogging for the next few weeks. I'll be back again in full force once I survive this insanity."

"I need to study."

"So, in other words, tonight I have to start studying again."

"As I'm sitting here studying for my next exam (this one is French World Literature. . . lots of reading from Africa, Haïti, etc. . .) I'm thinking about how irrelevant this is in the grand scheme of things."

"On that note, I better get to work."

"I'm looking forward to getting back to more leisurely blogging after this semester is over."


All these statements should in fact read as follows:

"I have a lot to do right now. I've taken on too much and am struggling to lead a balanced life. Since I've got so much to do anyways and I need to keep my sanity one way or another, I think I'll do some extra blogging during this stressful time."

In other words, if I say I'm going to disappear, it probably means I'm going to be blogging in full force.
