Kurrs' Digital Tapestry of Words

Originally Uploaded here by JoeCollver

So here we are, between steps. Negative time, previously speaking, but t-minus 4 days by the new odometer. I sent off my rough draft yesterday and got comments back the same day. Words like "excellent" amongst other praises of good writing and construction caused me to completely let go. I couldn't help it, sitting alone in front of text writ upon a dimly glowing plastic box, I just started sobbing. My body shook as all of the emotional strain of this piece, this work, this thing I named thesis, was validated. It isn't good enough, it's actually good.

I'm going to have to get used to the feeling of accomplishment, I'm doing it more often than usual.

I've been wearing a purple scarf I got from the Arts Dean's office. I call it my five years scarf, Erin calls it my I went to university for 5 years and all I got was this lousy scarf scarf. Nevertheless, it has UBC Graduating Arts Class 2006 embroidered on it. Other than being free, it was also made in Canada, which is nice.

I've been wearing it as some form of standard, some sign of the victory that I seek. The battle was won, some simple cleanup is neccessary now, but the war is not over yet. The Econometric Army dwells some 4 days hence, and it will be a slippery and cunning foe.

Someone said to me recently You know Christopher, I've known you for quite some time, and I must say I'm glad I've never been the focus of your affections, that you've never loved me. Because, I must admit, it'd be pretty scary. You love so completely, so absolutely. It would probably be scary. And I laughed, because that's funny. But that's my sense of humour, and there's no accounting for taste.
