How the fuck is it May already? It's ridiculous how fast time goes. And I hear it just gets faster. Great.
Two years ago tomorrow I was leaving for Mackinac and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. In the end, I am glad I did. It was a good experience, I met good people, and it made me appreciate my BFFs and family in a way that I didn't before. That being said, I will never do it again.
I was talking with my advisor the other day and she said that if I really want to do publishing I should go to New York or at least Chicago. Problem is, I don't want to. I like Michigan. Scratch that, I love Michigan. Sure, we suck sometimes but I really can't imagine myself anywhere else. I don't want to limit myself in my career because I don't want to leave but I think everyone has at least one stipulation and that's mine. I think I can still get a decent job editing or maybe doing something completely different around here by the time I graduate. Obviously I want to write, I'm just not sure that I have the talent yet, or if I ever will. I need to just write more, period. But writing papers and doing bullshit all semester tires me out and I can never find the energy, the desire, or the inspiration.
Goals for this summer:
save up for a DSLR.
write.
read.
do well in my one class.
paint.
have fun.
