1. back to work tomorrow (quiet falling NOOOOooooooo......) but allah knows the structure might be just what i need. whenever i go back, i shock myself at how incredibly productive i can be. on work days, i accomplish more before 10 a.m. than a whole 3 days of break. life seems to operate at a faster productivity rate, but a MUCH slower this-is-your-life-wasting-away-while-you-are-having-to-be-here kind of pace. maybe someday i'll be able to peace-out to my teaching career. not convinced i'll miss it.
1a. omg, i've forgotten 84% of my students' names.
2. i watched one episode of House of Cards, so goodbye to the next week of nighttime hours. I see it as a very awesome and welcome distraction from the fact that the next MadMen season doesn't come out on netflix until April. I REALLY NEED TO KNOW how things are going to go there.
3. it may be time to start noticing and start being noticed soon. what a world of signals and cues we navigate on the day to day.
4. the way groups of school kids all act in unison. drove by a few groups of middle schoolers earlier sitting in a clump of crisscross applesauce in identical phys ed outfits. they were all just a collective... nobody... from that vantage point. but inside the minds of each one of them, so much is being worked out. hunger levels and distractions and anger issues and why doesn't he like me? quanderies. and then just now, a whole massive herd of elementary kids across the street just drained back into the building after recess like water down a drain after dishes. no one struggled away. no one was left. everyone knew that the place to be was in that crowd and moving with them. odd. collectives. walking in a group.
5. it is january and i am wearing flipflops and i am sorry, michigan, but i think that it's really over. i can't imagine working out winter depression in mandatory hibernation mode. i just can't. i think i would become an unhealthy and sad version of myself.
6. remember when i used to judge women so fiercely for wearing yoga type black pants in public? not that they were too casual, but because they were just so... revealing? well f'all if i couldn't live and die happily in them. times, they are a'changin.
7. that first slow drink of a fresh cup of coffee is so f'ing sexy. i was trying to find a better word for it, but i'm not convinced there is one.
8. robots robots robots
