In absentia...

[wolven7]

I havevn't posted much of my own substance, here, lately, and that is because I've been concerned about my thesis. I've been trying my best to both foreground and background process my thesis work, because I will have to defend it in something like a month's time. I will have to sit there, while people who make their living picking things apart, reading them, critically, and finding the weak points in arguments Do Those Things, and then I will have to counter them. Three of them. At once. So I'm trying to prepare.

When I defend, when I publish and graduate, I'm going to want to submit this somewhere. I'm going to want coverage. I'm proud of this thing, even with all the compromises I've had to make, to get here, and I would like to believe that it's a position and an argument worth reading and spreading around.

But we'll see.

How are you?

I:m okay. I:ve been feeling that I:ve been busier than I actually am. I guess it:s the countdown at school (one more class today, then 2 more and I:m out till half way through April), or Leo coming (13 days), or the bowling league starting (tomorrow), or going to Thailand (about 6 weeks), but when I actually look at what I do when I get home, I:ve been lazing a lot. In a good way, I:ve been reading, listening to books on tape, doing puzzles, playing games, watching tv, but it seems like I:ve been busy, even when I haven:t been.

And I:m told I have to start getting ready to go home. Even though it:s not for another 142 days. (But who:s counting?)

Other than thesis, how are you?

I'm in this state of near-perpetual anger. And viciousness. I've been extra Me, recently, and I've been giving serious thought to seeing a therapist.

If I could find a Jungian psychologist, for cheap, that'd be great. Yeah. I don't think so, either.

a lot of luck lately,
or my expectations from the world got lower
or I am on the right track

I like to think the third.

Frantic. I'm going to have to sit down with a calendar, budget my time, and tell people at work 'no'. I'm hoping I can get away with such without losing my job. I probably can, but it's still one of those worries... some people just aren't going to be happy.

Also have to find a new roomie in a month. This is difficult. Last time I tried (without it falling into my lap prearranged), it took me more than a month to arrange.

I might have to aim for the club. Not the most usual place for me.

You'll be fine. Give it a week.
