Sometimes in life,
You wait for something for so long
Anxiously thinking, what if…
And going through all what if nots…
That you become numb
And indifferent to the news
When it finally comes.
I got tenure today.
Do I feel relieved? – Yes.
Do I feel excited? – Not really.
Just exhausted and burned out.
Still 50 more final papers to grade
Before the deadline on Monday.
