Back to that time. You know. The essay grind. I have two papers to get through. Not so bad I guess. It’s funny that I find myself thinking back to last year April. My last year of undergrad and I had 5 essays to work through in one month. That was crazy time. But. I enjoyed it. I remember the simplicity of it all. I had my own apartment, so no stinky punk rock flat mate to worry about, interrupting the groove. I had no TA responsibilities. I was ordering my groceries online and getting them delivered. I was at peace. What I remember most was listening to audio books while I cut up chicken and washed dishes. I would work, write, clean, cook, meditate. The whole experience was oddly zen-like.

This month seems to offer more of what this academic year gave me. Dislocation and movement. I have no funding for the summer so I have to go work. I have an interview in good old Toronto on the 14th. If I get the job I can breathe a bit easier. At least I won’t starve. *And* If I make it all the way to September without begging this would be my first solo powered year in a very long time. Definitely learned a lot this time around.
