Which is my own fault. Five weeks ago I peered at my March calendar, puzzled over conflicts, brooded over solutions, whipped off my spectacles and exclaimed
NO WORRIES: I will turn in my thesis ten days early! All my problems: SOLVED. Pat on the back, you overachieving, organized, academic magician!Barking. Mad.
um, why are you handing it in early? WHY.
ReplyDeleteObviously, you come from a long line of nuts ( Namely the maternal line) and will always hand anything in early that can be handed in early. Ergo- out with the old, in with the new. On to the Praxis.
ReplyDeleteWhy fish?
@ Jackie: I have REASONS. Turns out you have to be cleared FBI-style for teaching and THAT is on March 13th. The fish thesis needs to be but a distant nightmare by this time.
ReplyDeleteHalp. Sushi-party March 13th?
@ Mom: Have you had a chance to read "To the Lighthouse?" There's this Grimm fairy tale re: fish in the beginning which threads through the rest of the sections in EXTRA creepy ways.
Plus "the socializing power of fairy tales" is fun to study!
AT FIRST. Now, fish make me nauseous. What was I thinking. Fish are the worst.
