A decision made
I will be dancing for Middle Eastern weekend at RenFest this year. I told the troupe leader months ago that I would do it. I told many friends and co-workers I'd be dancing. I can't disappoint my adoring public, can I? Oh, and did I mention the new costume rocks? Ahem. So anyway, despite ambivalent feelings, I will be dancing this year. And I have 10 months or so to consider how I feel about the issue for next year. This would be so much easier if I didn't absolutely love dancing out there. I've been absent from the RenFest performances for four years now and I've missed it terribly every single time.
In the "I can't believe I was that oblivious" category: All summer I scrimped and saved my vacation days, holiday comp hours, and discretionary day in order to take at least one of the weeks of xmas/new year's off from work. Grand plan, right? Don't ask me why, but it took me this long to realize I can't take those days off because those are the final days leading up to the first graduate application deadline. Um, can we all give me a big duh and a slap on the forehead? What the hell. And of course, now it's too damn late for me to take vacation days until well into September. The next week and a half I'm gearing up for orientation and taking advising appointments. Then orientation and then classes start. Gah. What an idiot. I think it's fair to say that other life distractions are sufficiently impairing my mental capabilities.
