In the Style of Sei Shonagon: Part I

Vexing things

When one has written something thoughtful and beautiful and the computer suddenly freezes, forcing one to restart it, losing the writing in the process. Upon rewriting it later, it does not look as thoughtful nor as beautiful.

When one sees a beautiful dress and the only thing separating one from that dress is one's body and wallet size.

When one is anxious to start and buy a new book, only to realize that an important life-changing exam is looming by and the 'correct' thing to do is study for the exam rather than read a book. One knows that one can start the book whenever while the exam only happens once in a lifetime but it determines one's course of education for life, so the right thing is to study for the exam. That does not make it less vexing.
