It's a snow day!!!

Woke up to discover that my alarm had for some unknown reason failed me.... which reminds me .... need to check that out ...

anyway ... even though I had been awake shortly before it was to go off, I had decided to close my eyes just for "10 more minutes" ... and woken up an hour later. Bad flit! Bad hummingbird!

I swore and ran around getting dressed and all that rot and when I was all ready I looked out the window and realized that there weren't NO way I was getting out of the driveway without help ...

hmmm....I had better take a couple of minutes and actually check the college website.... WOO HOO!!!!

The campus closest to me was open - and still is - but the one I needed to go to was closed! (Usually it is the other way round and it is a total pain)

This is like the BEST POSSIBLE day for a snow day I could ask for - it puts my sections back on the same schedule again which will make the whole rest of the semester easier again - AND it gives me a 'found day' to get more done on my ML essay - I'm into the sections I LIKE now .... working on Margaret Laurence, A.D. now (After Diviners) .... my theories - and proofs, of course - re: why she didn't publish any more fiction AD

then just one more big section to go ... the one re: spirituality/divining .... 

And I've been worried about what Jane was going to say about the 2 I sent her cuz I don't think they're good enough yet but she likes my title for the whole thing "Margaret Laurence:The Self as Writer and the Writing Self "  (which is a compromise between her suggestion and mine) .... and she said:

Title sounds good. Also the sections you sent me look excellent. We need to talk about working them together -- connections, transitions, etc.

WHEW!  I briefly considered that maybe she is just saying that because I have to present on Friday and she doesn't want to undermine my confidence and... duh.... that's not like Jane...

she wouldn't send me a nasty email that says it's horrible or whatever... but she doesn't tell me stuff is good until it is, either... and besides, R. was totally disgusted with my lack of confidence and he's right, I think .... there is a lot more evidence that I can do this stuff than that I can't.

So anyway ....I gots a snow day - and a bit of reinforcement that I'm on the right track .... now its time to get on with it :)
