From high school homework assignments to present-day translations, I have always started things in just about enough time to finish them before the deadline.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I used to be late getting to things, but what do you want me to do, reject the culture in which I've chosen to make my home? That would hardly be gracious. I have simply chosen to assimilate this particular aspect of the culture. Yeah, that's the ticket. Yeah.<BR/><BR/>As for translation, I've been doing it for over 12 years now and I guess you could say I'm just burned out. With other, more exciting options--like quilt retreats--starting to develop, I just don't have the attitude for it anymore.<BR/><BR/>I'll start one and then sit there making faces at it for longer than it should have taken to complete the whole thing, just because I can't bring myself to deal with it. It's starting to ruin whole days for me, so it's not worth it anymore.<BR/><BR/>Although it looks like quitting is going to take a little more energy and creativity than I expected, so we'll see how that goesJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453489879246452921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11428766.post-1150037596153942862006-06-11T08:53:00.000-06:002006-06-11T08:53:00.000-06:00you do realize that "late" is actually "on time" ...you do realize that "late" is actually "on time" for you?
