I don't have the best handle on my schedule right now. I'm supposed to have some idea on how to decode political doublespeak for Thursday. My forum thread on the 120 pages I was supposed to read by... yesterday hasn't been posted. I'll be up for a long while.
That crick in my neck is worse now, and the thought that someone stole my pain medicine is increasing my mental anguish. That's all my life seems to be now. Lashing out at invisible enemies. The most depressing part of the day is the 120 pages, by far. Stories of Chinese suppression of traditional national character by mocking a delusional and pretentious anti-hero. Doesn't end well. These things hardly end ever end well when the point is to create an example, even if the example is fictitious. He dies at the end. Sorry. I wiki-spoiled it for myself anyway.
Picked up a Study Abroad booklet, and skimmed through. Feel like this chance to experience a small part of growth will escape, too. Grades. I'm going to push myself to get an MFA and hopefully I make the grade. Otherwise, I'll have to place some serious thought into teaching Phys Ed.
Back to work.
