dchenesI got things done today. Not the things I should have gotten done, but things that needed doing. I now have bottled water to get through the weekend with, and my laundry has been dealt with, and I have something (namely yogurt) to eat for breakfast this week. I've run out of nuts to put in granola, and I'm waiting until I get back to the land of Trader Joe's to get more (they'll be cheaper there, and less salty).
Last night I sort of went fishing for compliments, which I'm not proud of doing, but I was still dwelling on what I was told on Monday. I asked my Practice of Translation prof if I was really any good, or whether I just happen to know more English than my classmates. She thinks I'm honestly good at translation. That made me feel better. I also got some good advice about what I can do to get hired after I graduate. It's nice to know that there's somebody else out there, who actually has some control over my academic career, who thinks I've got the right stuff. I know I've got legions of family and friends who all think I can do this, but (no offense intended) it's not quite the same thing.
I think too much when I live alone.
