It's hard when I'm chatting with someone and they ask, "So what's going on with you?" My answer is usually, "Nothing, really." But this weekend, I said that to someone and my husband started laughing. "Katherine is actually really busy," he said, and started talking about my job and classes.

Well, here's the thing: I am super busy, but there seems so little of interest to say about the things I'm doing. Or, rather, there's no sound-bite for the things I'm doing. Either I say nothing, or I have to launch into far more detail than anyone but me cares to hear.

The other part to this is that I feel like I have nothing to talk about anymore. If I talk about school, it either sounds like bragging ("The kids love me!") or whining ("I have no idea what's going ON next year and I never seem to get anything DONE!"). If I talk about my classes, it's mostly the whining part (my feelings on my Sociology class alone, for example).

The same thing is happening with LJ right now--I want to say interesting things, but the only interesting things are "deep" things going on in my head. I spend so much time doing schoolwork or at work that I have little left to talk about. I'm not even reading anything lately.

What's a girl to do?
