On the other hand: There's a beautiful (but mercifully thin) blanket of snow covering the parking lot outside. The sky is the palest of blues, the trees are bare and lovely, and I can actually see through them to the river. Creature is sleeping on her bed right next to my on my desk, we already have a festive pile of Christmas presents, and I'm nursing a hot cup of tea. I just enjoyed my breakfast ritual, and yesterday, I wrote every single page that I was supposed to. I've never felt so disciplined or in control of my work habits.
Someone tell me how I'm supposed to feel about this day.
You feel positive! You'll be done (one way or another) in three days! Cs get degrees! Tea is awesome! Typing burns calories! Exclamation points are fun! Creature is adorable! YOU'RE A GIRAFFE!
ReplyDeleteholy crap haylie, how many classes are you TAKING?? i cannot believe you're still writing papers! as a fellow english masters student, i have to say...you got the short end of the stick. you MUST have! next term will be way easier, it's gotta be! :)
ReplyDeleteyou are impressing the hell out of me, by the way.
Dear Miss Jess and Mr. Chris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for absolutely, totally, and utterly making my day. I miss you LOTS.
Specifically at Chris: I think our term runs unusually long, and also, I'm taking three classes. Each required a roughly 20 page final paper. I was mentally unprepared.
Also: I always appreciate comments from both of you :o)
