This has to be short, because I desperately need to get to work. I have a paper to write for Ferreras that's due on Wednesday and I haven't even started outside of some minimal research. I don't think anyone knows what's expected with this paper, and it's stressing me out. A lot of my time this past week that I probably should have spent on the paper has gone to Bollywood rehearsals and performance and then this afternoon just a lunch get together at Arathy's. I decided not to rush, though, because honestly, I haven't encountered such transparently decent people in a long time. I just sort of reveled in their presence. I've really enjoyed getting to know them all and spending the time we did dancing. I think it's so important to dance and do things just for beauty and spirit sometimes. Otherwise, it's so easy to get washed away in the busyness of life. We are all only here for so long. I wrote about this earlier on paper, so I'll not go into it all again.
On Friday, I met author Mempo Giardinelli along with several other members of the department. I was excited; his life story is very interesting, and it inspires to me that someone could endure something so horrible and live to turn it into art and then be such a jovial person. He answered my question about writing, so for me that was exciting. If you know me, you know I love to write and to have a famous author answer my question, especially in Spanish, was pretty awesome for me.
I don't know what else to write about. I think I am really just procrastinating on this paper as it seems so overwhelming with not knowing what to write about at all. :/
