(no subject)
I have a sweet fiance! I have really never been with someone who is capable of buying me gifts (surprises!) that are exactly the things I would purchase for myself, so thoughtfully approached and considered. For our anniversary last weekend, even though we promised no gifts, I received two beautiful necklaces from etsy.
Look, a tree! I want to brag to the internet more and more these days. I want to take pictures of everything! All of the time! And now I have this shitty webcam - instant gratification!
In other news, I am constantly biting my nails and feel bad about myself. It is nearly finals and that means I have an overload of marking and my own work to stay on top of. Classes are finishing up this week, and I have to present a paper at a department colloquium in two weeks that I haven't even started, I'm still working on nailing down a concrete topic. I still have all of this Kristeva to read for my Canadian poetry paper and I have not even started formulating ideas for my other two seminars. The worst part is that it's starting to get beautiful outside so I've been skipping lots of important days and choosing to sit in the park instead. I've procrastinated in the past but this is getting ridiculous! All I really want to do is go dancing with my friends and sit in the coffee shop all day. It feels like everything is moving too fast and I'm sleeping less, reading less, just trying to slow it down and make it last for a little longer - even the not-so-good parts.
I got a job offer for a position at a drama day-camp for the summer. I am considering spending a few months not putting this MA to work, reading for fun, and putting on plays with little ones. I think it would do some good to embrace the lack of direction for a little while.
I want, I want, I want.
