If this is how I'm going to spend my Friday nights now, I might as well just cancel the Netflix subscription, right?
Do you know how long it's been since I've written a paper? I bet you can guess, what with all my complaining here! Four years. I had to start writing one today (well, honestly, I could have started sooner) and it's tough to get back into it. Where do you start? How do you start? Eventually I just started and I'm feeling okay about it so far. I know I did well on everything I wrote at Smith. In college, I was a confident paper writer. I had my style and I knew how to go about doing what I had to do. Now, I read what I've written and I recognize myself; I know my own writing style and it's nice to see it hasn't gone anywhere during this hiatus. But there's this thing at the back of my mind always, asking "what if this isn't good enough anymore? what if it's different now?" I don't know. I guess I'll find out on Monday.
I should get back to it, I suppose. I've just returned from doing this early writing at Woodstar and now I will have to contend with the cats. Rosa has already started chewing on my hair, so it's going to be a long night. She has this new endearing thing where, if I'm not leaning against the back of the couch, where she can easily jump up and bite me from a reclining position, she will hop up on her hind legs, dig her claws into my shoulders, and have a go at it from there. Sweet, no? My other distraction is that Dave is on the loose in town watching the baseball game: a Yankees fan in Red Sox Nation. It always makes me a little nervous.
Random: I hope this fellow keeps posting (and keeps out of trouble).
