Current mood:

tired

Oy gevalt
A vein in my right eye burst late last night, and that eye is red and swollen today. It doesn't help matters much that the air in dorm is incredibly dry, or that I've been fairly stressed of late and not sleeping as well or as often as I'd like.

School's responsible for this, but only to a small degree. I'm fairly comfortable with my courses and my workload, and I'm not expecting any problems comparable to last November and December. I like my classmates and get along well with them, the same with my dormmates. I do not doubt that I'll be able to get my MA, and I'm not concerned by what looks increasingly like my turning away from academia, towards, say, law (my LSAT's on the 7th), or something else. (I'm happy I brought my copy of Great Jobs for English Majors with me to Kingston.)

I'm concerned about what I'll be doing later. In April, I'll have to move as the West Campus dorms get converted into housing for conferences, whether to another dorm on campus or to an apartment or something elsewhere in Kingston (subletting?). Some adjustments will have to come then. Moving will be interesting.

Events later still, though, in June and following, are more worrisome. I'm moving to Toronto, that's for certain. PEI is a nice place to visit, but from the perspective of employment (to say nothing of entertainment possibilities, ethnic and cultural diversity, dating prospects, et cetera). Moving is a good idea. But with what money? to what apartment? with what job? Reading week is going to be interesting. If any Torontonians reading this have any suggestions, I'd be interested in hearing them.

Ah well. I'll get some Visine in the morning. In the meantime, I'll try to get some work done.
