I have been drinking a lot of tea and reading a lot of books. Periodically I will drive to campus and teach writing to students whose names I keep forgetting. This weekend I will commence writing the preface of my thesis, and then I’ll have a genuine complete thesis draft of about a hundred pages. Things are coming together.

I have always been a future-thinking person–for evidence, my personal journal usually talks about things I will do rather than the things I’ve done–and I’ve begun to think of Moving On. I keep envisioning the many possibilities of what I might do after graduation in May, and the main one entails not living in this apartment anymore.
Last night I dreamed of painting walls blue, and they weren’t these walls.
Meanwhile, I bought six books in a month in which I intended to buy none, but I’ve read twenty books off of my official Unread Books list since December, so I feel a little bit justified. I’m reading one of my Unread Books now, Winter’s Tale by Mark Helprin. Before that was Steve Martin’s Shopgirl. My upcoming “Stuff I’ve Been Reading” post will be a bit schizophrenic, I think.
