not dead yet



No I am not dead. See, there is my pulse. But stars, I am beyond exhausted and the semester still is not over.

What did I do this week?

Sunday—spent the afternoon working on Renaissance Drama paper

Monday—finished my Renaissance Drama paper and went to the Twins’ t-ball practice. (see pictures)

Tuesday—turned in Renaissance Drama paper (11 pages) and spent the afternoon at the Botanical Garden reading for Critical Theory. And my Easter Yarn came in! yea. Much rejoicing in the land.

Wednesday—worked in the morning spent afternoon and most of the evening revising Medieval Lit paper

Thursday—finished Medieval Lit paper, turned it in, listened to Renaissance Drama presentations, went out to dinner with the Maternal Grandmother, got a call from Mom saying she had been stung by a yellow-jacket and was at the doctors, so I spent the rest of the day chasing the Twins

And now…I am going to run away. Somehow I’ll get things together enough in the next few hours to unplug completely and hide. Next week is tough and I am worn out and if I stay here I will not get much rest.

Next week look something like this for everyone here:

Monday—Twins: t-ball practice

Tuesday—Me: Renaissance Drama presentation

Wednesday—Nothing yet.

Thursday—The Maternal Grandmother’s surgery, they are cleaning out an artery in her neck

Friday—Me: Celtic Women Concert

Ah! Thankfully the semester ends May 1. I have a stack of books I want to read, a trunk of yarn to knit, and some major sleeping to catch up on. Speaking of knitting, apparently I have been obsessing over it these past two weeks. I promise to stop as I am the only one who knits compulsively. On the other hand, my buddies at school who are getting sick of me knitting have started chain smoking again. They smoke, I knit. We are all dealing with this time of the semester and trying to keep our sanity.
