Writing.....

Ok....so I should be finishing up some papers for this semester.  I told myself that I could blog again when I got the papers done as some kind of way to motivate me to stay on task and push the papers out....well its been a difficult labor and I'm just going to give up - I remember when I was giving birth to Seth it got to a point where I just kept saying that I couldn't do it.  My mom and Dennis both got in my face and told me that wasn't an option....  It really pissed me off how they got in my face, who did they think they were?  They weren't the one trying to give birth....but here's the thing, it worked.  They told me I had to do it, I got pissed off, out the baby came! And you know after he was in my arms, all the effort to get him there was a distant memory.  He was worth all the effort, all the hard work.  I am hoping that when I finally push these papers out and they are graded and the semester is over, that all these pains will be a distant memory...........I could write about the meaning of life or the way the leaf fell on the ground or how the birds chirp or how to find beauty in the broken....but ask me to write about how the intersection of gender and ethnicity or national origin inform the construction or creation of visual or written artifacts from a specific historical period..........and yeah - here I am writing a blog about a bunch of non sense instead of getting this paper done.....only six more pages to go........and then I can write a real blog about how I am coping because clearly I need to be coping better as these assignments are stressing me out.  Just being real!
