day in a life

I sent a teacher at school an e-mail this morning asking her to work with me on my BA next semester. I was kinda hoping for a late reply from her saying 'sure read this and that' then we'll talk before Christmas. No she replied within the hour saying 'YES' and 'write 4 pages and form a question and description and we'll meet next month'.

That kinda just threw me out of the triangle I live in and into the deep blue sea.

This teacher is kinda pioneering in many ways. She wrote a book about science fiction and she teaches courses on that and graphic novels. She is often quoted on the radio and her brother is a popular artist here on the ice. I have admired her for along time and all this kinda makes me nervous. Maybe I am making to much of this, it's just that when I meet new people I tend to stammer a bit and even say things I don't want to say or just speak incorrectly.

My brother told me to just write down everything I can think of about the subject and then work from that. I'm gonna try.

I can't climb back into my triangle now, unless I manage to take this with me and feel comfortable with all this. I think that will happen in time but at the moment I am sinking.
