foreboding: the enormity of it all.

i remember one scene in the film "wonder boys," where katie holmes reads michael douglas' novel: this voluminous tome. she remarks that a good writer has to make choices.

i don't know if i'll give the talk that i want, tomorrow.
i haven't made any choices.

there are so many interesting detours to talk about, and i can't prepare it all. between thesis writing and trying to work out this one last thing, my mind feels scattered.

i've barely prepared anything;
tomorrow's going to be a bumpy ride.



on a lighter note, i heard from another school this afternoon. i'm out of the running for a tenure track job. oh well.

i don't think i'm ready for a tenure track job, anyway.
