Over 2k words in this chapter today. I call that a win.

the first time I wore flats this semester

January Teaching Style (or, the post no one asked for)

Last class ever. 

Worked a bit on my dissertation but hit a roadblock because I needed to reread Esperanza Rising before I could move forward. So I hunkered down and reread it this afternoon.  

(Currently on day 3 of serious article revisions.  Oatmeal for strength.) 

I have a lot going on in the next month and a half--among that: submitting article revisions, defending my dissertation proposal, finishing up my coursework, teaching, submitting a job application, reviewing an archival project, giving a keynote for a grad conference. You know, the usual. I’ll try to be more consistent with posting here; but some days it just feels almost too much to take an artsy photo of my workspace and write a post. For instance, today I read a novel for class, worked on lesson plans, ran 2 miles, downloaded some articles. But none of that felt easy--and none of it made me want to pause and write a post (though that is what I’m doing now). I’ll figure out a groove eventually, I hope.
