News Update:
Hurricane Ike can't make up his mind - is he going to hit Browntown or is he going to hit H-town? Andy told me yesterday that the school was contemplating having all the athletic teams go to Austin with them. Gah. If that's the case, I sure hope they don't ask me to drive. I would be PISSED.
I'd like to drive home but my parents are such freaks about me driving anywhere by myself. I don't see what difference it makes if I drive home alone or with another person. If we both get stranded, we're still both be stranded and there's not much either of us could do about it. LAME.
I'm actually really excited about writing my thesis for my Master's. We talked about it in class last night and we got to discuss our topic and get help from everyone on how to approach certain things. I've decided that I'm going to research and study fan fiction as a literary force in the modern world and popular culture and how it's evolved from the past re-telling of stories like Beowulf, the Bible, and fairy tales. Exciting, huh? I got TONS of info last night from my professor and some other dude who apparently likes to write fantasy fan fiction. Good times.
I don't really like writing in my journal at work because I feel like people are looking over my shoulder but I don't think anyone is. *looks over shoulder*
Well, I'm about to go do a class visit for the writing lab to Dr. Newman's class - of whom I have a HUGE crush on. He's so nerdy, it's cute.
