416: Supposedly...
I won first prize for poetry in the Newsom Contest--that is, the poem will end up as the very first piece when you open this year's Lit Review. Also, cash prize. I forget how much--something to the tune of 50 to 100 bucks?
I didn't find this out until everyone started telling me, because I didn't hear about Honors and Convocation, where the winners were announced. Still--coolness. I've never won anything before. And especially ego-boosting as I was feeling a bit doubtful about my writing abilities lately...
Well. Now I just have to finally show Michael the poem I wrote about him. And now it'll be in print. Jesus, that'll be a hilarious scene...XP
(You know, jeremytblack, you at least are lucky, I don't treat you nearly as badly... though give me time and I'm sure you'll randomly find I've published a poem about you somewhere or other...;P)
