sechan19For some reason, my mind has absolutely refused to let me concentrate in the past week. And despite piles of free time, I haven't gotten done nearly what I ought to have done. It's extremely frustrating. I realize that I have to get the old brain back into shape for the kind of exercise it's going to be undergoing for the next several years, but right now it seems intent on thumbing its nose at me - and I cannot muster the discipline to make it behave.
It's no good at all, and I'm very disgruntled.
Tomorrow I'll be leading the discussion in the Chinese art course, and I'm nervous about that naturally. But I have managed to make myself fairly well prepared for it. On the Methodology front I find myself becoming a Griselda Pollock convert while at the same time I'm ridiculously annoyed with T.J. Clark. Not what I expected at all. And Japanese continues as it always does, with the portfolio project beginning to require more of my time than I imagined at first - the downfall of choosing an extremely archaic text.
Of course, I need to make better use of my time. That's always the answer, and I know it. But somehow I persist in not taking my very own good advice.
And I have an irrational craving for cherry pie.
