well, i talked to jie yesterday. and he liked my ideas about where my research is going. and gave me a very useful book about the indigenous movement in australia (where are all the rest of them?). and told me that he was proud of me because i'm writing more fiction.
and offered me three classes for next semester! whoot! (subject to bruce's approval.) i think my delight at his offer confused me somewhat, because he asked "You *do* know that tutoring involves marking, right?"
pah! sure i do! and i don't care! i am still delighted.
so anyway. despite this pep talk being very cheering, i still didn't do any work. lulled into a (horrifyingly) false sense of security. also partly the need to catch up with two k's, a z, and a j.
i'm finding it hard to balance my people-time and work. i can't just hide away in my office, because i know what i'm like with people - if i don't see someone for long enough then i just cross them off my list. plus, you know. the guilt and all.
i should certainly be working now. and so i shall.
