The weekend
Second hike today: Otter Creek along the Blue Ridge Parkway and the James River. Gorgeous!
Dinner: crab legs, vegetarian lasagna, steamed cauliflower...
Submitted "Goat Man Sighting" for the Boley Contest this year. Getting it once really takes the pressure off, I have to say. It's fine if I win and it's fine if someone else wins.
Going to see Babel in Tyson Auditorium. Yay Spring Film series!
Rented Rebel Without a Cause, Poltergeist, Junebug, Lost Boys, and Ed Wood from the library. Also bought Brothers of the Head recently so that deserves a rewatch.
At some point, going to start watching Carnivale. We saw some of it in Monsters. <3 Monsters... Best honors class ever!
The family is coming down for dinner tomorrow, since I won't be home for Easter. During the day tomorrow and Sunday, I'm going to start researching for my two big final papers and my last monsters paper. Topics: Stylistic Evolution from RW Emerson to HD Thoreau, Grave goods at Sutten Hoo, and Jaws.
Took my fourth Italian exam today. I feel ok about it (there was a lot of memorization) but I'll be glad to finish 202. At this point, I understand the grammar but I need to engage the language itself. I have my interview over the phone with Buffalo State on Tuesday. Wish me luck!
And I have one more story due for Fiction. I'm torn. I kind of want to do something for fun -- just straight horror genre (kind of a splatterpunk monster mash XD). On the other hand, if I submit a first chapter of a novel (one of the two big projects), it might be worthwhile to get feedback on that. I know I haven't mentioned it very much, but this has been an excellent workshop. 12 is a good number to work with and everyone is on par for the most part in terms of ability (writing and critiquing) and enthusiasm.
So the semester is wrapping up quite nicely (even though it's cold! XP) and I think the worst of the stress will be over if I stay on top of things. Have two more issues of The Noise and one more of The Voice, and Red Clay comes out at the end of April. And guess who's up for managing editor next year?
That is all. Now that I've caught up with myself, I would love to catch up with some of you. Just tell me one thing you're up to? Please? ;_;
