I Never Had It So Well
Can’t manage any more than a good bad list tonight. I’m tired, frustrated, nervous, resigned, excited, aprehensive, defeated, and at the moment a bit taciturn. Anyway:
The Good
- got the laundry done
- got my sewing machine delivered
- finished chapter one of the LIN 1 reading
- had a nice walk & talk this evening
The Bad
- see above list of tumultuous mood swings
- couldn’t figure out how to thread sewing machine
- something happened to Boo outside today (something peed on his neck? maybe?) and he’s been sad all day
- Lewis is maybe getting the flu
- failed to make dinner, or pumpkin bread, both of which I had big plans for
- spent an unjustifiable amount of time futzing with new email programs trying to get something to check my two addresses non-buggily
- additionally: something in my wordpress is fucking up, so I can’t even post this blog.
Tomorrow = first day of classes. Happily, I’m not nearly as nervous as I could be about this. I know most of the 1st years now, and I already know and like the professor. We’ve been doing orientations all week, so I already know where the building is and all that, and I feel a bit like an “old hand” around the department. I even have my “own” (read: shared with 6 other TAs) office. Also, I only have one class tomorrow, and one class Friday, which seems like a nice small load. Now to go to bed so I can get up at an appropriately early hour.
