phewww. i'm so glad that darned conference at sarah lawrence is over. don't get me wrong - i'm so glad i went (even if sarah lawrence students can be so pretentious it makes me want to gag) but i'm exhausted.
remember how peri said in her closing speech that people who work in this field (and trauma survivors themselves) never take enough time to reward themselves, and feel grateful? that's what i'm realizing as i sit here in the library typing. i'm not recovered yet, from yesterday, from everything. from it being 2 weeks away from when i hand in my Project, from it being only 6 weeks until i get my diploma and walk across that stage.
i.
need.
some.
time.
to process, to think, to lie in bed in the morning, to look in the mirror, to massage my feet, to write creatively, to say goodbye to my friends, to appreciate my senior class for all the amazing work they've done.
maybe i'll go to white rabbit later and just chill out with a good book. or maybe i should write as much as i can by tuesday so tabetha and i can figure out what the hell my project format is going to be. or maybe i should figure out what my title is before it's too late to be included in the commencement program :(
i'm tired, but i know i can make this a good day....
