(no subject)
I suppose I should write here more often.
And now is not one of those times. But then again, I always manage to do things at the worst possible times. Like now, for instance. I'm sitting here in a towel, supposed to be picking Niki up in 10 minutes before heading down to Cathy and Mary Kate's apt (my former apartment) for dinner.
I should be finding clean clothes (just washed some a few days ago), straightening out my room, doing some reading for tomorrow, anything but blogging.
But that's me.
This year is promising to be good, albeit busy. While this is true for every year here, I feel like I'm actually determined to accomplish what it is I need to accomplish this time around.
I bought a planner. It has commitments scribbled in it. I need to get all my paper deadlines in there. For example, the paper due on Tuesday. I need to write that in. Time to get my act together. Another thing to jot down. Make a trip to the Career Planning Center tommorrow. Figure out what it is I want to be doing in 10 months. You know, after graduating in the spring. That's right around the corner.
My last post noted that I was back in Howell after a full year.5. Well I've been here for close to a month now and things are going quite nicely. All those fears and reservations I had about Howelling my senior year have (so far) proven to be unfounded. I hope it stays that way. THe kids here are great, I've been getting along with everyone, even those I was worried about relating to.
I led a discussion on a chapter we read for my Asian American Literature Class today. The book, titled Woman Warrior was written by Maxine Hong Kingston back in the mid 1970s and is considered to be one of the first books from a group of Asian-American writers.
I thought things were going quite smoothly, I was making good points - if not obvious and easy points. The book is a good read, easy to get through and full of imagery, so there's lots ot talk about and sound relatively academic. I figured I should get this out of the way early in the semester, one less thing to worry about when I feel swamped and overwhelmed come November.
For those of you who check facebook somewhat regularly, you might have noticed two things.
One, Facebook is kind of psycho. I'm stating the obvious, as it was like being hit over the head by a crowbar the first time you log in under the new and 'improved' facebook. Talk about involuntary stalking. The new getup takes all the joy out of facebook. The 'poking around' and discovering what people have done to their profiles. All that has been done for you already. What's the joy in stalking people if the program/website does it for you already.
Two, I'm in a relationship. First one in over two years. And I'm happy. I like it. It's fun. I'll probably have more to say about this later.
In the meantime, I need to go get Niki.
I'm running on Brazilian time again.
Much love.
