oh, so many things to blog about. Fall semester is over! It was a long last few weeks, but I got through it. whew. currently: home, ready to relax for three weeks.
After thanksgiving break I had a horrible stomach flu that lasted a good 10 days and made life miserable. I dropped about eight pounds cause I couldn't put anything in my stomach. It was the worst pain I'd been in. I missed work, school, etc. Finally, about a week into december, I could start work again, and then everything was fast-paced from there. Working 35 hours cause we've been so busy, having 3 papers, a short story, and a revision due. I was up till 4 am some nights and barely sleeping, just writing till I dropped. But it's done, and now I wait till friday to see how the grades turned out.
This past weekend was my last in Orlando before break, so I went downtown friday with tina and some friends, hung at a sweet apartment in the city, met some interesting people. I didn't drink too much cause I still had homework on saturday, and then the work party. The subway party was SO FUN. Drinking with my coworkers is the best. And two of my friends that had graduated in spring came back and see us and we hugged and laughed all night. Then I did what I do best: open the store hungover on sunday morning. hah.
was invited to be apart of a "private" workshop group for spring. it's just six of us; this guy in my classes (that I think is the best writer) messaged me and asked if I'd like to join a small group of peers, outside of class, and share writing. I was floored. The other four are just the best (and most intimidating) writers in the program, and I just can't get over that he thought of me for this small, elite group. I've been feeling good about my writing lately; I've liked the three stories I produced this semester and think they're good writing. Three semesters of grad school down - three semesters left!
