hmm. switched to a new theme for the journal. "california poppies." the poppy seems an appropriate symbol for my currently -happily- drugged state. i know, i know, california poppies don't contain any opium--or at least not in significant enough quantities to be worth extracting for recreational use. i'm also aware that the drug i'm on isn't an opiate.
...so?
truth is, i just like the california poppies. it's another favorite seattle (er...west coast) flower--and another i had never seen before moving here. they grow all along the burke-gilman trail, and i used to run there all the time.
now if i could only find a nice nasturtium patch. those are so yummy in salads.
speaking of the drug, i can barely feel any effect from it at all--just a slight......shift, toward ease.....when it takes effect. it makes me feel less overwhelmed by things, more capable (but not inordinately so), less threatened, more motivated. which is weird, since it's a trank. :::shrug::: i feels what i feels, explicable or no.
now i'm off to meet with an associate director in the expository writing program, to find out the parameters for the class i'm teaching next quarter. i've taught this class several times before, but they have switched from a 3-paper format to a 2-paper format, and i think they've changed a few other pedagogical parameters as well.
