Eyeballs on fire
I have my 30 minute presentation coming up for Prof. Gallop's class. I will be performing a close read of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's memoir, A Dialogue on Love and presenting a talk on her use of the person Hal (her husband) in the text.
This is a difficult task. I feel like my eyeballs are going to fall out of my head. I also have two 20-30 page seminar papers due in a month. I'm not sure what I'm writing on for either at this point. And, I have to have my proposal in for the Feminism(s)&Rhetoric(s) conference in two weeks. AND we have the Feminism-Queer-Pedagogy professional development presentation in one week. I have no idea what I am presenting on for that. Probably something like (Double) Queering the Outsider Within: Performing (Male) Teacher. Something like that.
Yawn.
S.K. made us a fantastic bunny cake for (Easter?). M and I talked again about having kids. Worried that grad school sucks your life force/money and we'll be too old,jaded, in debt and jobless by the time we find our way out of the tower. had a great early morning conversation about pleasant Easter memories.
thinking again about dropping out post-M.A. and doing Teach for America or applying for Ph.D. programs in musicology (probably just UW-Mad instead of NYU). Every time I visit NYU I want to vomit...so pretentious. tricky midwest sensibility. blue collar education. state school mentality.
pretty serious about kids. soon. we did childcare at the FORGE conference and it was my favorite part of the whole weekend. need to make some money, dogs.
and, have been counting calories. cutting-1800/day. working well. lost total of 20 lbs since Dec 22nd. hoping to hit total of 100 lbs lost by August. Goal is 160-35 lbs to go. chest is looking good. dogears are bad, will have them revised by Dec 07. trying to play softball with the SSBL League in MKE (GLBT league). teams are almost full.
