Tired girl...

Very strange exhaustion following the Jewish holidays, if you happen to be a new "Jewish professional."

Everyone around me is tired in general, and tired of Jewish social obligations in particular...

and I've been working doggedly for over a month... but the larger world doesn't even seem to know there WAS a holiday. And the larger world certainly isn't aware of all the little things I've been doing to make the holidays happen. The larger world didn't even take a day off.

So all my students are behind, and they've been cramming for midterms. Poor kids. But there I am anyway, riding their asses, which is the last thing I want to be doing.

And the end result is that I'm feeling a little run-down. Nothing bad or sad or angry. Just run-down, like I want to curl up in the basement and watch TV with the dog, and suck my thumb.

But the world around me is suddenly wanting to make plans for CHRISTMAS!

Sigh.
