Currently? Double-plus ungood. Am currently buried in the depths of academic effort toward a paper I don't want to write, with no time for creative writing and very little (read: nil) accomplished toward The Paper which is nonetheless stealing all my writing time and reading time and fun time and relaxing time. Have six billion academic projects, all seemingly due one after the other and with The Paper I seem to have no time to do more than worry about them. (Yes, I'm afraid this is why my posting lately has been rather rec-and-run.)
Generally speaking, however, it feels both good and confusing. Good, because I have a pretty great life and I know it, and I'm grateful for it. Confusing, because right now (along with The Paper and the Academic Horde) I am supposed to be figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life, and I just cannot decide. I'm wavering, and indecisive, and just generally feel so pressed by the day-to-day things like papers and projects that there's no time to think about the future--and all too soon it will be here. Random good things, however, even in the midst of this, include: incredibly mild weather, Chinese food, new books should I ever find time to read them, and a trip tomorrow to hear the former Poet Laureate. :D
