I haven't been here in a while (not that anyone asked). My youngest daughter (Calliope) was born February 5, two days before Ellowyn's first birthday. I'm in my final semester at Wayne State. Life is chaos with a thin veneer of order, full of cracks that make the chaos visible.
Still, I'm enjoying my classes. In YA Lit, I'm writing two papers on A. S. King, and in the course of that, I've had the good fortune to talk (virtually) with the author herself. In Creative Writing (which won't count toward the MLIS), I am currently writing a scene from a play in which Body and Soul (specifically mandated for this assignment, but I call them Mr. Corpus and Mr. Specter) have a wedding planning business and have a conversation about the floral arrangements for a wedding. It's fun, and creatively satisfying. I've made a start in seeking employment. Had a really good interview with an admirable system, but it was part-time and nonprofessional and over an hour commute. I will get back to that when my head is reasonably well above water. I would love to start the Disrupting Whiteness project, but I don't see that happening for a while. I can't pretend I'm anything but barely holding on, though. I will keep patching over the cracks so the chaos doesn't overwhelm me.
