good news and good advice left me with a good attitude this evening for group historiography seminar. the book was right up my alley and i had a lot to say. i felt good while i was saying it, then came home and wondered why i felt so down.

i feel drained this week and look forward to my own assignments taking less time to prepare. a year off from this type of brain work has left me wondering where my old efficient habits have run off to. can it be that only one year can profoundly affect my habits and skills? im trying to imagine how long it will take before ive found my groove again, but i feel i have nearly no brain power left after today, and that i must conserve any residual power for tomorrow morning to start up again.
