I am working my tail off and having lots of anxiety with nightmares and more . . .
I am trying to finish this dissertation thing - currently going on month 2 waiting for my major professor to read the damn thing. I am applying for a tenure track position, teaching 3 archaeology classes, giving a paper in October, and attempting to work on publications. This is way too much work!
on top of that there are the occasional social functions
On the positive side, after some of my classes, I feel darn right exhilirated. It can be very fun if the students are into it. Most of the time they are sleeping or bored.
Also on the positive side, I am also still in the embrace of a wonderful relationship with Sean which brings me great comfort and support, as well as laughter.
With all my anxiety, I rarely look at our blog and I feel I am really missing out every time I visit. This is such a great place for us to share experiences almost as if we still lived in the same town. But I am apparently not leaving my house to come out and play. :(
I want to be a part.
I love you girls!

It's in the air or the water...or something. I've been full of anxiety lately. Lots of dreams about frogs, snakes and creepy crawlies. And I'm not applying for a tenure track position -- that is a nightmare!
This blog shouldn't be something that stresses you out - it should offer you solace. Never forget -- our connection and friendship is solid and everlasting...no matter how many times you post and read!
I miss you, too. I would love to reach back in time and grab one of our lazy Saturdays. This growing up and taking on responsibility is for the birds!
Hang in there, Virginia the Great.
Ginster, we love you even though you suck at participating in the blog with us. (hee hee, just kidding!)
I'm sorry you are having anxiety, but you know what... I have NEVER KNOWN YOU NOT to be like this. You've been traveling in the land of scholastic terror for many years. Shannon, am I right??
Small comfort now, I'm sure, but you are so close to being done and will do fabulous. Everyone always loves you and wants you!
I think Shannon is right too... something in the air. I called and left a message for an agent the other day and she called me back and said, "I hope you are not calling to gripe at me about anything, because I've had enough of that for one day."
For me personally, I was THIS |------| CLOSE to being on the next leg of my path to TWD (Total World Domination). I had two agents in my office (besides me), a part time person assisting and another agent on the way and about to do a partial remodel and now one of my agents is quitting. I'm set back for who knows how long now. *sigh*
Anyway, we love you and will take what we can have of you. It won't always be this way, my Ginny. One day you will live a boring, normal life like the rest of us!
I need to be on apath for TWD. that sounds like a better plan than always trying to do stuff so I won't get yelled at
