It's Friday, which means there is a crossword puzzle in today's Wall Street Journal. After working on it for half-an-hour before class, various boring bits or class itself, and the bus ride to work, I have seven squares left to fill. The problem is, I'm stuck.
It's more frustrating getting stuck this close to the end than it would be to barely be able to start. The puzzle is 21 squares square, with 67 black squares (I'm sure they have a technical crossword puzzle term). That means I supplied 367 of 374 letters, or over 98% of the puzzle. Are you kidding me?! Two percent left and I can't finish it?! Come on!
(time passes)
Okay, I looked up some things on the Internet and finished the puzzle, but that's nowhere near as satisfying as actually finishing the puzzle. Now I have to wait an entire week for the next Journal puzzle.

I buy the easy crossword books at Walmart because I can't even figure out one clue in the real crosswords. I can't even figure out the music ones and I have a doctorate in music (almost), that is frustrating.
