Now Do It

I have such high hopes for today. 7 hours of writing ahead of me. I want to stay on task and trickle all my conclusions about international and multicultural education in the U.S. into my laptop through my fingers.

I hope... The writing will be so good that academic journals fight over first rights to publish it, and the panel at next semester's international education conference gives my work a standing ovation. Xenophobics read 3 pages and spontaneously open their minds and hearts to The Other. God will smile and say, "Natasha took the words right out of my mouth - if I were to go to graduate school I would have done a similar project. But I'm God, so I don't need a degree." The simple-minded will grasp the concepts I lay forth, and the wise will be intellectually stimulated. I will feel proud and humbled by the truths I type, and content with the quality of my craft.

I hope.

Good pep talk, self.
