OK... Today is the last day of real studying. While I know that I will be doing some looking on Friday, this is the last day where I do it with any real sense of an agenda. I am meeting with a prof to talk about poetry today. I am so grateful for that. I have been reaching to the corners to just talk to people about this stuff. If anyone reading this has been in on the "just talk to me about it" sessions, I cannot thank you enough.
After averaging mid-semester grades, I made an offer to my students that must come have been inspired from the kindness being shown to me lately. I am giving them a 7-day window to turn in everything they might have missed. They get 7 days to bring up their faltering grades, and then the window closes. Think that was big-hearted of me? Well, I certainly do.
My insides are so coffee-stained. If you see me after Saturday, hug me. I know, I don't usually do that sort of thing but do it anyway. I usually know what I need, but I hardly ever seem to know how to ask for it. That knowing part of me is telling whoever is out there, "Give this girl a hug."
greetings, human!
