This week has been rough. Along with riding the roller coaster of emotion, I have been dealing with this course load that is extremely overwhelming. I have 3 seminars, 2 teaching practicums, tutoring, and teaching business writing. My own work comes when I get home at 5. According to the therapist that visited the English Department the other week, graduate students need to carve out time for themselves. Well, I decided that I’d actually start making myself dinner again. I’ve probably eaten every sandwich and canned soup this semester. So, let’s add making food to my “things that make me happy” list.
I complain a lot lately. I know!
I’m happy, too. Like with this pizza. This pizza is basically sponsored by Trader Joe’s. I used their 99-cent herbed pizza dough, their canned artichokes, their pizza sauce, their mozzarella, and their prosciutto. I supplied the feta cheese. I burned my tongue, because I was so excited to eat real food. It was like that scene in Hook when Robin Williams finally saw the food (this pizza didn’t have weird neon colors though).
I am also having wine for dinner, and dessert, and one more before bed.
I’m reading though. So this is productive drinking, bitches!

I’ve been told I need to make time for myself, too. This entire semester, I think I’ve only done so once….
I love Trader Joe’s pizza crust, and your pizza sounds amazing.
just dropped in for the first time in a few months…startled by the changes. i hope things are well for you. seems like you’re in the gradschool woodshed quite often these days. if anyone can handle the pressure, it’s you, let’s not shit ourselves on that.
glad you made it to Scotland. i hope, aside from what you’ve mentioned, that it was all neeps and tatties.
