What is the What.

This has not been a good week in terms of teaching, in terms of my life. I have felt ineffective, I have been inefficient and in the end, I have felt like I could not wait for it to be Friday. It's CA's birthday this weekend and I don't even know if he's going to want to go anywhere. He's been busy at work too.

A year ago today, I met him. I was just beginning my master's program and I felt like I had the entire world in front of me. I remember my afternoons at Starbucks, writing papers and getting things done. I remember feeling like the world was actually mine. This afternoon, I went to get pie with M.L. and kept thinking that the world felt like it was nothing but heels, and turtlenecks and trying to get people to sit still while I talked about the move from hunter-gatherers to farming.
