The Matrix (or rather The Animatrix) gave me insomnia last night. I felt pretty lame.

Just got back from meeting my course advisor. Turns out I have only 1 semester left in my language requirement for Chinese. My options are:

• CHNS 22: Intermediate Chinese Language
• CHNS 75: Chinese Mythology

I'm sure she'll do OK on her test bc she's ( Read more... )

15 solid hours of sleep later, I attended a meeting with my creative writing teacher who was 'confused about some of my narrative choices.' What that meant was that he'd detected all the symptoms of me writing from a character and a string of nifty scene ideas without having a real story arc until I crapped together a bullshit ending, though he ( Read more... )

Today was also my first day at work. I have my work cut out for me. Apparently I have a meeting at 9:30 AM, extensive research to do, a new layout to compile, and I stupidly also volunteered to be the official web-photographer. Now E-mail about tomorrow's photo-shoots are circulating like mad because everyone wants to have extra time to powder ( Read more... )
