Pretty AND Productive

All the factors pointed toward the opposite, but somehow, I have managed to do alot of work today.

Woke up nice and late this morning to an impossibly blue sky and extra eager birds. It was nice to laze out of bed, after being coaxed into going to the Gator after Mathematical Madness. Nothing like finding holes in a proof over beer. What was going to be an appearance turned into closing the joint down with the rest of the 1st years. Insisted that one girl hang out at my house before driving home, or just sitting in her car. Because I have a perfectly useful and conveniently nearby couch perfect for just such occasions. Watched Bridget Jones' Diary till I fell asleep.

Today, I have been fighting my usual low-energy. I swear, I think my body's alternator is out of whack, because I just can't seem to recharge my battery. But I burned through quite a bit of reading, prepped a preliminary biblio for my thesis, spent 2 hours in the library scanning Salvador Dali illustrated Macbeth for my students, while researching a potential paper topic. And got a big jump on my presentation for Thursday. I almost don't want to stop, but I do need to go to the gym before it gets really late.

By just blowing through work, I don't have a chance to be overwhelmed by the amount of reading-reseach I will be doing in the very near future. But I have now added quite a bit to my wishlist!

Tomorrow, I have another play to read before finishing my presentation, and posting part of the dramaturgical display for Macbett. Unless I decide to go hiking. Or to Target.

Have I mentioned that I miss Target? We have the equivalent of Ukrops and Foodlion...we are the equivalent of Macy's and JC Penny. But nothing even resembles a Target! :-( Pity me!
