I am very stressed tonight. It leaves me feeling tired and sad. Sad because I \u00a0worry. I worry about my Mist who has the flu. She never gets sick and if she does it is a mild case. I guess the stress of being a stage actor wore her down. She has had a fever and cough and general malaise.<\/div>\n
And Peter is away most evenings (lets be honest, he is away in mind all week) as it is his “learning conference” that he organizes and runs for UBC<\/span> each year. He is away driving key-notes here and there. And when he is home, he is glued to his computer or asleep.\u00a0<\/div>\n
In addition, I am also having problems with my assignment. On closer inspection, I dislike it. I so wish I hadn’t been so rushed when choosing it. I so long to do the first choice: critique one<\/span> book (2000+ words). We had 3 choices of what assignments to do. The one I choose (#2), has turned out to be poorly thought-out.–critique 15<\/span> children’s books and compare common themes, writing styles, who enjoys them and why? But these books are varied: from “The Hobbit” to picture books. It is too big a task for the time frame we have. Assignment 1 seems so much more manageable. However, I agreed to do #2 with a partner before I knew what was what: 15<\/span>books \u00a0vs one<\/span> book. How did he come up with his numbers? Does he think “The Hobbit” is not as difficult to critique as “The Outliers?” No, he seems to think it takes 15 hobbits to make up for one of his nonfiction choices. I think his assignment choices are not thought-out and lack any cohesiveness in difficulty. Why did I agree to this? HELP!<\/div>\n
Needless to say, my day has been a whirlwind of running here and there fetching groceries and books for my patient, entertaining a feisty<\/span> Pip and naughty dog–Fernando( pees and poos in the house non-stop–nomatter how many times I take him out!)Also, running Tabs to ballet and back–not to mention<\/span> Peter being away until late. I tried to fit in a little work but it was scattered. I had many phone calls today as well. It seemed the phone never stopped ringing.\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
