Half-baked
I've reconciled myself to the fact that this half year will be half-baked. Everything I attempt will not be fully realized as I'm functioning within the constraints of a system I've not had the privilege to devise. But I am determined suddenly to use the next few years here to design what I want out of drama - to start fresh next year with the potential created by this half-baked half year... because everyone likes a cookie even if it's undercooked and in its nascent form there is still the sweetness of what could be once fully gestated in the oven of my imagination. I remember my musings on "could be" in graduate school - the world an open possibility once the mind can grapple with what if, a blossom of creativity, a birth of possibility. I hear West Side Story lilting in my mind.

wonderful - you can do it baby. now i'm just jealous; may be working entirely on my own here this whole semester, no minds to inspire but my own. we'll see...
you got courage woman
and
"you're pretty, oh so pretty!"
Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!
West Side Story.
It takes at least a year for a curriculum to produce its goals. Enjoy the process, and know you are not alone. We're in the boat half a world apart.
Love always,

You're so right mama...half baked cookies and brownies are the perfect gooey good. You're workin' it and making it yours. Brava!
