THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

Home from dance

Just got home: it was a hell of a day, even though I did ditch the curriculum meeting today; in exchange, I did placement reading after my class right up until I had to leave for dance. (I did dance, two classes in a row. Nice to be moving, but man howdy was I stumbling around tonight. Never mind two left feet: felt like I had fourteen of them, all going in wrong directions.)

Both today's classes went fine, I think: I was rather in a blur today, seriously absent minded. I've been feeling very much like things are beginning to spin out of control in ways that have me bewildered, so I'm not quite sure how to prioritize and I am so afraid of forgetting things that I keep forgetting things because I'm worrying about what I might be forgetting. (Yep, that sums it up. My brain doesn't make things much clearer at this point.) In any event, I am incredibly grateful that they've already made the decision that tomorrow is a snow day: I won't be awakened by the snow chain phone call at 5 a.m., and I will have the day to get caught up and prioritize stuff, in between bouts of shoveling. I'm half tempted to make my "to do" list right here--but on the other hand, I think what I really need to do is stop thinking at all, let my brain make white noise (mmmmmmmmm), and hope that when I wake up in the morning, I'll be slightly more compos mentis. Too tired to even proof this, just going to toss the post up there and fade gently into the night.
