Hard to Concentrate

Drive-by update

• Jr. Poet panel went well. Enjoyed it immensely. Received invitation from Dr. Gregory to "get together and chat about Eliot" which I will totally do if that comes to fruition.
  
• Exhausted from Jr. Poet and still am. Mentally checked out from college.
  
• Freshman flirted with Sean shamelessly until she found out he was dating me. First time I've wanted to punch another girl in the face since I was about twelve. Still get angry when I see her. Don't know why.
• Birthday: Got lots of messages from people. Made me very happy. But I enjoyed Sean's gifts the most as they were amazing. He knows what I like; it's actually almost startling.
  
• Thanksgiving at Dagny's was wonderful. Her family was very welcoming, the food was delightful as can only be expected from Dagny, I played tennis for the first since...um, age twelve, chilled out in hot tub, built a fire, played Scrabble, met adorable blond three year old. It was good (wow, weirdest picture assembly ever. I'm afraid to do anything now.)
• Now, Sean is busy with papers and I am in extreme post-Thanksgiving funk which my Mom defines as an excessively contemplative analysis of one's life (often beginning with one's birth). We'll see what comes of that. At the moment though I think it will help me with my Eliot imitation poem.
  

I hope this post is somewhat satisfactory. Feedback welcome.
