Nanowriwhat??
Friday, November 09, 2007I have hardly been able to get anything accomplished. I am seriously considering withdrawing from the competition...between not having a computer at home and my father's illness I've been seriously crippled.
It's weird, how out of sorts not having the computer has made me in some ways. I guess I like my ruts.
Work is crazed, too...to the point where I go home feeling like a hamster on a wheel. So, no writing during my lunch breaks, either...I need to stop making it a habit to work during my lunch. Especially since during registration...well, to be honest, any time...me sitting at a computer with a plate full of food in front of me doesn't seem to signal the fact that I am unavailable. I took a huge bite out of a sandwich (you know me, my desire for decorum seems to just be part of the best intentions package) yesterday just as a student walked in. They asked me questions, and I was chew, chew, chew, can't you see I'm chewing, damn it, and they kept staring at me, waiting for me to say something. it was mortifying.
Tonight, at least, is heavy weapons practice and Moonlight. Yay on all fronts! Will I actually make it to a sword practice before the end of my days? Tune in!
Fencing is, truly, one of my bright spots right now. With 88 campus people (mostly students) on the mailing list, and 45 attending the first meeting yesterday, everything seems like it's going to work. I have to buy some spiffy fencing gear, now. We’re even planning on having the historical fencers down again, which will be lovely…and good for my motivation. Watching people who are really good tends to make you want to work harder, because you can see what is possible, not just what is?
And now I shall stop faffing about. Why? Because it’s time for me to work? Nay, nay I say…because it is time for me to go home.
Have a lovely weekend, darlings.Labels: faffing, nanowrimo, ramblings of a madwoman Permalink Cindy scribed this at 3:59 PM
