(no subject)
So my papers are done. One was a research proposal that will hopefully turn into a thesis. I feel totally ambivalent about both. It's a strange sensation - I have not the faintest how either will be perceived, but hopefully the proposal will not be considered utter rubbish...
Spooky having something with so much work and worry into out into the ether.
In the meantime I'm excited, b/c I'll actually have some time the next couple of weeks to read some books about therapy, which I haven't had much time to do this semester. I'll also have time to read things that are perceived by graduate school to be detritus - that which isn't precisely focused on what you're involved in - but seems key to being a genuinely intellectual human being. I have a couple of books on philosophical topics, and I haven't touched a book of essays in months.
I *may* even read a novel!!!!!!!! I have a Walker Percy novel I bought some time ago that I haven't touched.
Or I may just spend a few days staring out the window, drinking coffee and listening to music. I can feel my muscles settling just thinking about it...some coffee, some good music, my bones cuddling with my soul.
