There's nothing quite like the end of a summer vacation to make you sad. This is especially true when you look back on the summer and realize how little you accomplished. (Actually in my case it was more that I accomplished my main mission of the summer, but quickly realized how stupid I was to put so much focus on it.)
I have been battling depression here for about the past month or so, and was informed today that my counselor won't be available the first week of classes because she won't be on campus. That is not what I needed to hear, but I'll find a way to tough things out until I can see her, somehow.
This past week I've also been investigating doctoral programmes in English even more than before, and more and more I'm coming to realize that I just don't want a doctorate. I've been meaning to write more about that, and about some personal revelations of the past year or so, but that's going to require a full .journal entry, and I really don't have the time for that considering the preparations I'm making here for what will be my final semester as a student for the time being. (I am still considering going for an MFA in creative writing, but again, there are too many details involved in that to get into right now.)
Uh, yeah, so what are the rest of you up to? None of you have tried the Blogger comment system I installed on the .org yet ...
Have you turned it on yet? I tried posting comments about a month ago and gave up due to you needing to approve and never doing so.
