Another exciting day in tengrrlland. I got my mail out of bondage this morning before I went to work. The bag seemed lighter than I expected. I sorted through all of it this evening. Mostly garbage catalogs. Three bills, a bank statement, and two Christmas cards. I'm such a good girl that I even paid the bills this evening, instead of letting them wait till the weekend.
I did listen to some of the Alito hearings today. I don't know why these things entertain me so. Probably because I like to hear the rhetorical gymnastics.
This evening, I tried to work up the Computers and Writing Conference proposal that I promised to my dear colleagues, who promise me that I don't actually have to be in Lubbock to present. I always feel so stupid when it comes to these things. Everyone else has really pretty proposals that point to research lots of (important name, significant name) stuff. I can't do that kind of writing. I'm a practice girl, not a theory girl. I often can't explain why my educational decisions are right or best. I just know that they are. I feel like anything I write will be so stupid. I've sent them some rambles, and we'll see what they say in response (if they can make any sense of it).
