the anxious blogger
Anxiety has been a constant companion today. The semester is starting on Monday and my websites aren't going up as smoothly as I'd hoped. And, to be honest, I'm a little sad to be back in Lafayette after my sojourn to NYC. I miss my partner and I miss the city I love...if only they were in the same place. I try not to overdo the minutiae of everyday life in this blog, but today feels like the appropriate time to vent and contemplate.
Anxiety attacks are not new to me. However, my anxiety attacks usually have a clear antecedent. In this case, there isn't much that I have going on that should be causing high levels of anxiety...yet. I'm not taking classes this semester, so I don't have to worry about balancing a teaching and student schedule. I do need to work on my prospectus, but given that I've already begaun, I don't see that as a tremendous source of anxiety. I suppose the results from my prelims are quite anxiety-producing, but again, it doesn't make sense that they should cause more anxiety today than yesterday or the day before.
I am continually mystified by the human psyche.

Heyyy Lafayette's not so bad. Although compared to New York it might be considered a little on the pale side. NYC has a much better tan. But you knew that.
