"Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, for because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me."
--2 Corinthians 12:6-8
For Paul it may have been a vision problem, which Galatians would seem to suggest; as my friend Kyle pointed out, for me it may be this very girl whose image will not leave my mind, and whose voice will not stop ringing in my ears. It may be a temptation that will not allow me a moment's rest.
Something I realized: even though last night I decided that I would seek alone time until finals were over, the second I saw her, everything changed. My gut dropped and I forgot why I even decided that. There is no way, no how, that this makes sense that she has become so close to me that I cannot now rid my mind of her. Be that as it may, I have decided to remain strong and stick out my "break" until finals are over, or until Thursday morning.
