I realized today that I don't have a big academic project hanging around in my head and it's really weird. Except really I do. I have a paper I should be revising and haven't. I haven't picked up the copy my professor graded in the spring. But I have no soc classes so it just feels like all of my academic classes are of secondary importance. This would be a good attitude to lose, umm....now. I mean, it's not as if I'm not spending time on them, doing work, letting them take up my life, they're just not engaging my brain. Or at least, they're not taking it over. On the other hand, I'm being really productive in my non-academic stuff, which is good because it's taken my life over. It's getting a little better, but September was insane with meetings and things to do and hoops to jump through. I was so emotionally exhausted I wanted to cry every other day.
What was my point? I don't know. I'm feeling pretty good about things, I like having things I can do and like doing, even if they involve dealing with people and organizations (umm, Student Affairs and SGA?) that I can't stand. And now it's fall break and I'm in a vacation state of mind. I just hope I can get into a school work sort of mind so that I can figure out my seminar paper topic and read a book for education. Right. We'll just pretend that will happen, ok? Meantime, I have to go celebrate me some long weekend now.
