(no subject)
Okay, well, after a day of struggling with my article revisions that resulted in me semi-talking myself out of my argument instead of making progress, the stress of EVERYTHING IS DOOM SO MUCH DOOM DOOOOOOOOOOM has hit. I rode the total panic to getting myself mostly packed for my trip back to Boston in about an hour last night, but on the other hand, my article revisions aren't done and I only have one lecture written so far, not to mention the other things I was hoping to do this summer.
In short, I'm not ready to go back! Where did the summer go? AUUUUUUGH, &c.
Anyway, so far this morning, I've put together my syllabus, minus the readings I haven't actually chosen yet. Yay for the version I agonized over when I was putting together my TF application last winter! I've changed my course outline from what I proposed, and have also changed some of the readings, but vast swathes of text describing the course requirements: WRITTEN. Also, the decisions behind those requirements: ALREADY MADE. I might have to tweak some wordings to match my current thinking and add a section about people with special requirements, but at least I don't have to make the whole thing up from scratch.
Now, until Morgayne and Marek come to collect me for lunch at Los Huesos (I'm lurking in Blenz for the last time this summer...), back to work on my Christians and Muslims in the Medieval Mediterranean lecture. I have to take all the sticky-tabs out of my library books and take them back to UBCO on my way to the airport tonight, so I might as well finish with them before I do.
Must focus on one thing at a time rather than panicking about everything, must focus rather than panicking...
