Well, one project closer to being done! I sent the first draft of Z.M.'s 2nd poem-cycle to her. A day of hard work.
I also wrote another big session of one of the long poems in progress. If I could send out another submission today I'd be satisfied with this progress...
I think tomorrow I'll try to send her a 2nd draft of the first group of 22 poems. I can either do that or I can spend the morning in the library doing research and writing up the annotated bibliography for the panel in October. It would be such a relief to have one of these myriad projects DONE before school really starts. I'm sure tomorrow at 4pm I'll have more reading and homework than I'll be able to handle.
Also I am frankly terrified of being in a grad level class taught in Spanish. I'm so lame that I should probably think of things that I'll likely have to say, such as some kind of introduction of who I am (if it's that kind of round-robin class) and questions about things. Perhaps some strategy is in order. Lord. All my life I can just wing it in nearly any situation. But I just know I'll clam up, and when people talk fast I'm often lost.
Maybe I should force myself to sign up for J.O.S.'s teach-translation-in-the-schools project. Sink or swim...
It might be time to declare my cell phone as officially lost. I will be in the city! and at work! and what if Moomin's school needs to call me? I'm gonna go buy one in half an hour or so.
I'm not sure why, but I feel oddly down today and had to force myself to concentrate on work -- probably I'm just tired. It was a day where I would have rather laid in bed reading trashy science fiction novels than do any sort of thinking!
