Oh my god. I have been working on decal-related things FOR MORE THAN TWELVE HOURS. I went to a decal facilitator workshop at noon and Natalie and Danica are STILL HERE working on putting together a course reader.

And I still have homework tomorrow. Shit.

I just has this odd rush of anxiety -- you know, the kind that builds up suddenly in your stomach and you're looking around you to figure out why it happened -- and I'm almost positive there was something specific that I was feeling anxious about, but the feeling vanished almost immediately and now I have no clue what it was! None at all! All I've ( Read more... )
