Thank God for my supportive colleagues who are covering my reference shift tonight. I have tried to do everything I can to get over this post-stone discomfort. I mostly lie still, drink water, relax and pray.
If only I could use the time constructively. I have 3 post campus session papers due, one of which is a real mind bender. I want to work on it, but my head just won't focus. Especially not on something as demanding and philosophical and theological as this. I need to review all the books we were required to read, the hefty ones especially, and think along the three areas of discussion and somehow weave it all into a treatise on the foundations of the Jairus House ministry.
But my brain feels like one of those neon "Open" signs with a short it in, blinking endlessly half a word, the unlighted letters spinning off into unconsciousness. There will be no starting this paper until my body gives me back the freedom I need to think clearly. Even the other two papers require clear thinking. Not as in depth maybe, but this is, after all, a doctoral program. You can't be at half mast and stay viable.
There is nothing to do but ride it out. Surely this will come to a conclusion soon.
