I find it marvelous how events conspire to calm me down. This morning I was fairly distraught that I could not get the delegate dance to work. There is a long story around that... suffice it to say, most of my efforts the past couple of days have been focused on that problem. Lots of tentative leads, but nothing broke through.
After the last attempt, I came away frustrated and angry for several reasons. Probably not the best way to go into a Middle English class. When I got there though... chocolate was being passed around. Apparently we were to do a critical thinking test for the English department.
Whaaaat?
That did a lot to help me calm down. Thinking for an hour... tends to do that.
So I got out of there and eagerly went to my e-mail and checked it. I had a note from my advisor already, the one that had been working closely with me to try to make the dance happen. He had basically gotten over the administrative hurdles because of the deadlines I had missed. His last lines... "The cookie has crumbled." How true. How delicious. I think I will gorge on cookies tonight as I watch Project Runway and stuff folders.
The cookie... has crumbled. But there are still crumbs, and I intend to eat them.
