...22 pages and then some...

i just printed and collated 25 pieces of paper, the final touch a cool paper clip my friend CDW gave me once. The first part of my paper IS DONE. It turned out to be 22 pages (1 extra page for the title page, 2 for works cited).

isn't it pretty??? (and you can see my well polished toe from my pedi with kami!)


I feel accomplished and I feel like I have so much in front of me...which is daunting and exciting all at once. I can't stop now...

...especially since the BAEYC is beckoning me once again. I wrote my letter of resignation but I still have to finish this term...which has the possibility of an oral presentation...you know, on top of everything else everyone has going on this time of year...

... and I lost 3 days of writing in one fell swoop...thought I had days off that I never had in the first place

but I will persevere and get this done!

yet...part of me doesn't want it to end...when I'm done with this...what's next? I know what's next...HOPEFULLY painting my house if we ever have the closing... and decorating...UNPACKING... but what about all this work...

Gloria Anzaldúa writes, "living in a state of psychic unrest, in a Borderland, is what makes poets write and artists create" ... i'm so afraid if i don't continue on this path i'll never create again... I hadn't in years before I embarked on this...

...oh lord...we'll cross that bridge when we get there, I suppose...
