It's finally Friday night, and I'm finally about to collapse into bed. It's been a long (albeit in reality short) week! I still owe a discussion of the terrible error I found in the article on Wednesday, but that will have to come later.

I started the day this morning when my alarm went off at 6:30, and it was still dark, and I had a long and confused moment of "why am I awake? What's going on? Why is this happening to me?" before I realized that it was Friday and I had to get up and prepare to go and teach. Since then, I've facilitated three discussion sections on the sixteenth-century Spanish picaresque novel Lazarillo de Tormes, which as I told my students, was a surprisingly tricky little text. I've also talked to Prof M about class today and about the exam, spent a lot of time reading the internet as I attempted to recover from the post-teaching brain-fog, replied to an email from advisor R with my work strategy for the rest of the month, walked home, made a delicious risotto with fennel, leek, onion, and garlic; and rounded out the evening by writing today's page for advisor R.

Today's page was a page of historiography, and it's bit of a mess, but now that I've sent it to R, it is time to sleeeeep. The rest of today's to-do list can wait until tomorrow.
