Dictionary.com defines tedium as, "The quality or state of being wearisome; irksomeness; tediousness." I have my own definition. Namely, the grant application I'm currently working on that's due tomorrow. I'm not really tired, but I feel tired. My eyes itch, I'm sleepy, and congested. I don't think I'm sick, however. Once I mail this thing, I'm sure I'll feel better.

I don't know why grants need to be so tedious and are not in my opinion about art at all. Well, I guess if I ever have enough money to fund my own grants I will have some standards too. Who am I to judge? Although, I'm judging plenty at the moment. I bet a lot of people have their applications discarded because they didn't follow the directions properly. It almost happened to me. Luckily, I have people to help tell me look over the application.
