five
five more days, and i'll be on my way home. never mind that there are to-dos left to be checked off, errands left to be run, courage to be mustered, and bullets to be bitten. at the end of it all, i will be on my way home, and that, after all, is everything that matters.
not that i've been away from home too long. i was there the 12th of september. so really, it hasn't even been a full 3 months. but in 3 months, as i have found, much can happen. the face of the earth was very different when i had just arrived from india. there was newness in the air, in so many shapes and forms. a quarter later, i wonder if i could have (should have?) done things differently that would have made a difference.
of course, now is not the time to introspect. it is the time to finish up my third answer for going green, to finish grading problem sets 3 and 4, before i can start to grade the final exams. here and there, other things add to the list. much as i may try, it cannot not seem like the end of a quarter. this is, very much, an end. stressful still, at that.
it's a surprise that it's still monday. i feel like it was monday days ago. when i had 3 pages of my essay to write. now i'm on to greener pastures (ha, pun intended), post walk, dinner, song, and conversation, and it's still monday. well, while i'm still on monday, i'll try and get some more done.
g'night.
