Guess How Much I Love You
I opened the last of Mel's presents this morning. As this is the end of the cheer up presents I'm not allowed to freak out about my life anymore. I will have to figure out a new way of coping without talking, and until the 3rd at least I know I can do that. After that ... probably back to square one. Today also began the 'I'm saying goodbye to hopeless situations' day. Which was part of the reason I needed to open a cheer up present. It's not as easy or as hard as I thought it would be ... but I said several times I was willing to let it happen ... so thhbbpppt to me and my ridiculousness.
Dan left yesterday. He'd been here since Tuesday. We had some good fun and hopefully he's looking forward to college more now. He went to ultimate practice on Wednesday without me, and met all the frisbee girls and learned about ultimate(we were trying to get him to play in college too). He got really excited after seeing the architecture warehouse, and then put up very well with me dragging him around town to Soundgarden and Books End. We ate a ton of sushi on Thursday and went to Danceworks on Friday. We annoyed the hell out people by walking around singing, in English and French. I'm really glad that he was here, and that most of my friends met him. =) aw yay
Tuesday, in my fiction workshop, my story was 'workshopped.' It was a little scary at first, but really great in the end. I needed a lot of help with getting this story back on the right track and everyone's advice and comments were really helpful. And, it was funny to see everyone's reactions. Plus, Professor Flowers told me my writing was good, he used the words 'exquisite' and 'skillz', and I almost jumped up and hugged him. No one's ever actually told me I could write well, and I'm so happy. It's looking more and more like I'm going to want to go to grad school. In a perfect world I'd enroll in NYU's creative writing master's program, but there are lots of other really good programs too. So, I'll probably look into taking the GREs soon. Then I need something to do with my life for the next year and some, ideally that would help with getting into NYU, but I've been terrible at looking. I really hope ISV hires me for the summer.
This coming week will be fun. RaRaRiot on Tuesday, NGO career fair and Funk & Waffles on Wednesday, The Kid Fresh at our house on Thursday, Frisbee Decades party on Saturday( i think i want to go dressed in 60's, but its hard to find the clothes), and Tarte Flambee!!!! on Sunday. I'm never going to catch up on sleep again.
I love all my friends. You're so good to me. <3
