At this moment I am frustrated. Frustrated that I don't have time to write. Frustrated that I don't have time for friends. Frustrated that I don't have time for family. Frustrated, Frustrated, Frustrated! (yes, I'm having a temper-tantrum!)
I haven't gotten to the point of frustrated yet, but I'm extremely concerned that once I actually begin to read that lit crit stuff in earnest I will give it all of the time that I could be spending on my thesis, or having drinks, or cuddling...
patry: thank you. that is an excellent way of looking at it.
amber: drinks and cuddling are definately out of the picture for me. Thesis, Lit. Crit, Comps--this is my life. ok, but i'm trying to keep a good perspective. patry's got a good point.
When it comes, the break from this routine will be so much sweeter for the hard work you are doing now. Reunion with the rest of your life will amplify your deeper appreciation of all you have been missing, too.

I know the feeling, but looked at in another way, it means your life is very full.

Until then, breathe! :)
