this is the way the semester ends
not with a lecture
but brownies.
de-pressed: why can't the academic press that contacted me about my dissertation be less shaky reputation-wise?
do i really have to grade 25 more papers before wednesday?
why is the freelance editing suddenly picking up so insanely? i have 3 journal issues to edit before we leave for new hampshire, and then i shall return to a book project. in the meanwhile, i need to write a revision proposal for my book, do a book review for a journal, try to revise an article, and ride my goddamned bike!
i have a doctor's appointment on friday. it has been years since my last physical. i'm in decent shape, but there's something anxiety-producing about drawing blood and testing and breathing deeply and again and again and turn and cough.
mayday: even though i have work to do, my bike comes off the trainer and i will be in the saddle. this summer: each week has a target of 200 miles. except while i'm in new hampshire. i need to ride.
soccer has been good of late: 5-3 win last week, fighting back from 2-0 down. 3 goals and an assist. 8-1 win last night, made all the more satisfying because the team we were playing were jackasses. 3 more goals, including a 1-on-1 where i faked out the keeper and walked into the net. had i fucked it up i would've been mocked by my team.
it's time for some dinner.
