Warning Ahead

Just a fair warning that my journal may be pretty boring for a while. We are drawing ever closer to the end of the semester and that means term papers to present, which is a lot of work. I'm presenting three papers in pairs and I have a fourth one to write as well. That last one is at major risk of being done at the last minute or else handed in late. I am trying not to think about that and accepting the challenge with all my might.

Right now, for example, I'm tamping down my panic about gene therapy and positive psychology, while at the same time trying to wrap my mind around the idea of "self-other overlap" as a measure of interpersonal conflict solving. Meanwhile another part of my mind is speculating about whether I can skip this week's reading and still have handed in the requisite eight assignments. Luckily yesterday I was struck by unexpected foresight and stuffed my freezer with frozen pizzas.

Earlier today I spent some time browsing the Yuletide archive. I bookmarked a few fics for later, but I fear I'll have little smut time in the next four weeks or so.
