It's been over eight months since I last wrote a blog post. Eight! One can basically write a journal article during that time. I have not, just so we're clear—but I'm certainly taking a guilt trip about the fact that I haven't, so no need to dwell there...
Yesterday was the day of our campus JCC's Expo, and it also marked (basically) the end of our Spring break. I think the combination of factors—the event itself, the upcoming week, all the work that I let pile up this entire academic year—basically has made my head proverbially explode. And it's not a pretty sight.
I've got the revision for the book chapter, a translation of a paper, another anime paper, another book chapter... I've got my three Spring classes to finish up, the Summer class to prep, the Fall classes to prep... I've got that development funds call to send out, the conference talk to write, the conference itself to run...
And good lord, what kind of a sad person would I be if I didn't have a life outside of work? A yours truly kind of sad person, that's what. I'm such an April Fool today.
All right good folks, we're about to enter Week 10. If I can just get through this semester, I think I have a fighting chance of figuring out what's next in my life. Possibly. Maybe. Though to be honest, right now all I really want to do is curl up with a good book and read my heart out.
