On Thursday night I got my laundry done and suitcase packed and my four hours of sleep, then I got my ass on that plane that took off at 6:30 am yesterday morning. Was that only yesterday? Damn.
I'm still tired. Last night, I was lying on my back on the couch (my bed) at the house of my MFA-Husband. I often lie on my back while drifting, then I roll over to my side/stomach to sleep. I passed out before that could happen. I woke up this morning feeling strange after sleeping on my back all night.
The residency is going pretty well, but it has a different energy. Like it hasn't really gotten started yet, even though I've had two full days. Almost as if no time passed either since the last one. Which is excellent when it comes to interacting with my friends, but not so perfect for the learning aspect. Though I went to a fascinating seminar this morning on the writers of the Bible that was way more engaging and interesting than that phrase would make you think. Tomorrow is the day of choosing mentors plus my work is getting workshopped. This means I should at some point read the other stories being discussed too. I'm also happy because the translation teacher, who studies and writes zen poetry, is leading a meditation seminar in the afternoon, including a sitting, which will be a nice Sunday activity.
In Other NewsTM, I went to the financial aid office yesterday and got that money thing situated. They might even have a check for me before I leave.
I'm so tired I have not idea what I just wrote. It's only 9:15 but I think I'm going to sleep now.
