That's the noise I make right before my head explodes....
Tonight I stayed after my night class to talk with my professor about my upcoming paper. I needed to run my topic by him to get the imperial thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Yes, it's something I should have done long ago, I admit. Sue me. I'm am frantically treading water right now just to stay afloat.
Along with the royal nod of permission to pursue my humble little paper topic, I also got The Lecture about how I Should Have Started This Paper When the Semester Began. I just wanted to throw my Riverside at him and run away. Perhaps he's right. Certainly, it's a huge paper. Definitely, I will have to burn the midnight oil to get it done. However, I am wearing so many hats and doing so many things right now, that I'm sorry, but that paper isn't even on my horizon yet.
I am proud, though. I managed still and smiling pique. All I said was, "Don't worry. I'll get to it. I promise," and I gracefully swept off to my car.
Geez, I'm tired....
I really like the new decor here! That's not a picture of your new tattoo down there on the left is it?
ReplyDeleteI thought you were going to Germany on spring break???
eh, paper, schmaper. You'll get it done and it will be excellent I'm sure. But what's a "Riverside" -- some kind of electronic device? a book, like a "Harbrace"? I'm out of touch.
Nah, this isn't my tattoo. If I ever get one, it will be one of two designs, either a raven with wings spread in honor of the Morrigan, or a very small but detailed Japanese dragon.
ReplyDeleteA Riverside Complete Works of Shakespeare. It weighs about eight pounds and makes a hefty projectile. ;)
