Yes, if you can't tell, I'm having an anxiety-ridden week. Tomorrow I read my stuff at the conference. My stomach has been quivering nearly continually all week just thinking about it. Actually, everything has been feeling like one big ball of butterflies, and it's not just the reading.
We're now more than halfway through the semester, and most of the work is still yet to come (big papers, projects, presentations, etc.). That thought alone fills me with a sense of impending doom.
But enough of that.
Ever since Gabe mentioned that my profile picture looks like I'm eating a big sandwich, and I replied that I was actually snacking on a human arm, I've been feeling disgustingly cannibalistic whenever I look at my face on my blog. So, to set the context a little better I thought I'd post the real photo that my hungry head came from. Here it is--this is from when we took the overnight train from Berlin to Paris and made friends with some girls from Hong Kong:
Well, this probably looks like procrastination, and it is. I better stop this now. Now I have the itch to post more photos from my summer, but I guess I'll save those for later. I need to go tutor in the Writing Center soon, and then class tonight, and then home to get ready for my reading tomorrow.
AHHH!!!

Anxiety is an old serrated knife sawing on the skin of an under-ripe papaya

good pictures. that babushka looks like my great-grandma in peru, well she's dead now, but she dressed like that, all her life spent in Puno elevation 12500 ft, next to Titicaca the highest lake in the world. It's very cold up there.
Anyways.
