So I've left school. Made first quarter, went back after Christmas, then realized nope, this is not a thing that is happening. I am too queer to live in a dorm full of girls, and Drexel is a bit on the strict side when it comes to housing. All of the campus surveys and such had four options for gender: Male/Female/Transgender/Other. The first time ( Read more... )

Back home for break. Time zones are a bitch. On the plus side I got a 3.47 GPA, which is better than I was expecting after a few first-term fuckups. And I'm finding it really hard to not gush about potential spring break adventures (SARA IS THIS STILL A THING THAT CAN HAPPEN?), because if I do my grandmother will lose it and start babbling about ( Read more... )

Long overdue for a post about school, and since I'm supposed to be doing homework now is as good a time as any.

(hurr hurr hurr I'm such a good student.)

Not enjoying dorm life. The architect was under the delusion that bare concrete is stylish, so the overall impression is that of a high-rise prison. Also not enjoying my floor mates. The engineering ( Read more... )

Protip: when eating microwave Indian food that comes in a pouch, either rip the entire top off before you heat it or pour that sucker into a bowl. Otherwise you run the risk of ending up with a burn on your wrist shaped like a crab, or possibly a space invader. Which in turn reminded me that I haven't actually had any crab yet this summer, and I ( Read more... )

Because I applied last year too, my Brown login was all messed up. And now their online admission decision page isn't working for me.

Brown clearly doesn't want me.

WELL GUESS WHAT BROWN I DON'T WANT YOU EITHER *PPBBBLLLLLLTT*

Had a bit of a panic yesterday when I read the email in its entirety and discovered that there was actually a deadline for ( Read more... )

I've finally got a job! And it's not at the movie theater. I am now a gym supervisor, which basically means I sit around in a windowed office and make sure no one burns down the gym. I even get to bum around on the internet when nothing needs my immediate attention. For $11.30 an hour, it's basically the best job. The only downside is the screaming ( Read more... )

Turns out Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was only playing here for a week. Rargh, now that the larger theater is equipped for 3D, the smaller one is where movies go to die. Which sucks, because the smaller one is closer and actually on the bus route, and the upstairs screen is actually a converted balcony so it's nicely tiered. Sort of up close and ( Read more... )

A fic ate me. I wrote a Batman/TRON crossover, and I think it's going to become the next Time and Space in terms of the crossover that wouldn't die. Also in terms of they don't all fit together? Because I wrote a drabbly thing where Bruce discovers what happened to Dick and Damian, but now I have new plans for that and it will be glorious ( Read more... )

CRAZY THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING.

First off, guys guys guys I have a new project, come check out Old Book Covers on Tumblr. Mostly because if I ever want to post anything other than Ellery Queen, I'm going to need submissions.

Meanwhile yesterday morning I got a PHONE CALL from the HEAD OF THE SCREENWRITING DEPARTMENT at this AWESOME COLLEGE telling ( Read more... )

EHEEHEHEHEHEHEHHEE!!!!!

So, uh, this morning I woke up to an email from my second-choice college asking if I had attended any colleges since my graduation, and I hadn't of course so I emailed back, and I just got an email back thanking me for the quick reply.

"And Katherine - I just have to share with you that I loved your essays - both of them."
