Life of a Creative Writing Grad Student [and knitter]

The occasional opining of a sleep-deprived grad student, with cheese.

ZZZzzz...

The manuscript has been revised. The cover letters have been written. The labels have been printed. The envelopes have been stamped. The mess has been turned in.

The book has been read. The powerpoint has been prepared. The comments have been added. The slides have been printed. The slides did not have the comments. The note pages have been printed. The note pages have the comments. The presentation has . . . not been given yet. That's for later.

I have three short stories due in three weeks. The three revisions are due in the following three weeks. There might or might not be some overlapping, but I can't tell for sure since I haven't examined the syllabus.

My computer has power now, where before it didn't. My work has been saved.

I'm far, far behind on grading first reads. I've talked to the people in charge, and they understand. I can be caught up by the end of the week, with some effort.

No, this is not the long blog I promised you. Give me a break, I'm working off too little sleep and too many projects. I can hardly think straight, and I'm about to go listen to what has the potential to resemble a class by Figur. You people at Con-U will know what I'm talking about.

Then I give a presentation on a book that ... sucked. But I have to make it sound like manna from above, since the prof is madly in love with the subject. Later.

ZZZ
