rfmcdonaldTuesday, I had drinks with a friend from dorm on West Campus. He's doing well, with multiple interviews for positions, a cute teacher that he's dating, and a generally buoyant outlook.
Of late, I've been feeling perhaps a bit depressed. I've got two term papers that I have to finish up, and sundry other things to do, but I feel almost as if I'm paralyzed, or at least as if I'm incapable of undertaking any long-term planning, or medium-term planning, or short-term planning. I tend to catastrophize, I admit; I initially did it as a defensive mechanism in the relatively protected environment of home, but when you're in the wider world it stops being an asset. Paralysis is something I certainly can't afford at this stage.
My parents will be coming into Kingston Monday, incidentally. It will be good to see them after six months with only some E-mail exchanges and telephone conversations since.
