A real sick day.
Friday, April 18, 2008
I think it literally has been the most beautiful day this year and I spent it home, sick. Granted, I've enjoyed the idea of it and did sit outside for a bit and near the windows in my chair, but I didn't get to wallow in the sunshine nearly as much as I normally would have. Bummer!
A week left of graduate school - still have a 15 page paper and an oral final but I'm not stressing. In fact, I've started reading a novel and have spent a lot of downtime with that. The panic and anxiety on campus is so thick I can feel it in the rooms and the hallways and the labs of busy students; when I'm there I begin to doubt my unstressed, unpanicked actions and have to stop and tell myself - nope, I'm okay, I've put my hard work in - I have no academic reasons for stressing out.
Had we a grill, meat and some buns I'd love some burgers on the grill right now - it's just the day for it. Instead I'm sipping a drink and reading; there is a season for all things.
