I’m so tired of introspection. I’d like to be able to just not think for a while.
Def. Visiting WesternState in a while. Feeling good about my chances, hoping, of course, that I end up with chance to make a choice about grad school rather than being simply “stuck” with one school. Not that I didn’t apply all to schools that were a great fit, and that I’d be willing to attend… but…
Pretty sure about dropping this class I’m in, if nothing else, because my gut is saying that. Gotta think harder about whats going on.
I typed something off hand in this post that has me sort of down about the novel project. Not bad, but I’m going to use time this weekend to regroup. But I think that just goes to show you how much of an extrovert I am.
I have plans to clean my office this weekend.
I have plans to come up with some sort of schedule to budget time in the upcoming weeks. Including: job search time, email time, reading time, writing time, blogging time, and knitting time.
I’m going to make a commitment to read both science fiction, and academic articles in my field, because I enjoy them, because it’s good for me to do that, because reading research articles, also I think informs my fiction writing. - One of the reasons I’m thinking of dropping the class is that as I was sitting there, in addition to thinking “g-d I really don’t want to be here,” I was also thinking about how I could recycle one of my stock papers for this class, and that’s not productive for me or for anyone. This starts immediately.
I never checked to see what my grades were from last semester. We’ll call them Schrodinger’s Grades. Not that I’m worried, more that I’m just meh.
I got some knitting time to myself tonight. Feels good, need to get some resolution on my current project, and also get my lace piece, as crazy as it is, into a more comfortable place. If I find out that it isn’t ever really going to have a rhythm, this might become one of those long term, multi-year projects. Or I might save it for the summer.
