Taking a Breath

Today I need to finish everything for the week with the Russian students. I need to make it to CVS. I need to call my sister and muddle through all my confusing feelings.

I should probably start my paper for Arthurian Legends and my other one about African American writers. I should probably crack open some Ovid.

I might get all this done. Or I might end up huddled on my couch eating pasta and watching Arrested Development. I might end up scrolling through tumblr and then rereading my favorite Anne Fadiman essays for the 100th time.

I might do none of these things.

But I’ll definitely breathe. Just sit and breathe.

Breathe.
