OK, I should update a little. Things have finally slowed down and I am regaining some parts of my self that I lost over the past few months. The last three months really fucked with my head. But, now I only have to set foot on campus to teach, visit the pharmacy for drugs, and finish off my candidacy crap.
I am starting to get a little wacky, as the sun is now coming up at 4:30am and setting at 10pm. It will be interesting to stick around here this summer.
This Wed I am going home (to Idaho) to spend a week or so at my cabin sailing, visiting, and trying to resist any urges to work which is difficult. It is crazy, it's almost as if the anxiety to accomplish more and more fuels me. If I fail to tend to it or if the source of anxiety lessens, I am left empty with feelings of stagnation.
I did manage to get out a few weeks ago. See below:

I wasn't planning to go, but my husband was going and wanted me to submit a paper. When the mundane spaces came by, I decided to submit after all since I've been working on that type of thing for a while (my dissertation was called "Therapies of the Mundane..." for example).
I was a bit disorganized myself. I'm pretty tired of travelling by now. Nevertheless, it went pretty well, and I think the panel was pretty good. Chris showed a pretty long dog park video, some of which seemed to be from the dog's eye view. I liked it, but at times I found myself distracted by the cute dogs rather than listening to the paper.
I've been going to too many conferences, in part because that's one of the few times I get to see my husband. I've decided to take a break - I'm doing AAA, but I've already not submitted to a few things that looked interesting. I need to focus my energy on publishing. And getting more sleep.
What was your paper going to be about?
Have you read much by Veena Das? She touches on many of the issues you mention.
