I haven't really updated this blog in awhile. Much has happened. I am now officially a Master of English Literature (haha, which doesn't really mean anything except I get a piece of paper). I feel both relieved and a little anxious about that. Though, I feel like most things make me anxious. I don't know. I think I built the Master's project up too much in my head, took on something that was over ambitious, felt overwhelmed and just wrote it. And part of me thinks that I could have done better and that it's still really incomplete, but I think I should also learn that the entire thing is a process and that there'll be other opportunities to write and keep learning etc. I don't know. I also have NO IDEA (for the first time in my life) what direction I'll take. I think what appealed to me about school was the structure and the set path. Now, I don't know what might be thrown at me and I'm not sure if I'm prepared to take it on. I guess I just have to spend some time unlearning those things and to give myself time and space to figure things out.

Other things in my life currently involve hanging out with my rad partner, taking some time away from home and spending time with him. I also recently facilitated a workshop called "Racialized Women: Our  Lives, Our Experiences," which was really neat and interesting. I'm going to move to Montreal in a few months with some rad friends. I might go to the San Fran bookfair with Jeffrey in April... I get to cuddle with a kitten!

So, I suppose things are about as peachy as they can get at the moment. Need to start worrying less and everything will be fine.
