1) Apparently, when you are able to reference, quote, and respond to quotes from "Pitch Perfect", you become a god to thirteen year olds. Good to know ( Read more... )

So, made my full application to the MEd program.

Any and all confusion on my part was cleared up by a fantastic contact/advisor who was so crazy prompt in responding that I think they've got to be a superhero. I'm declaring them thus, anyhow.

The first step of the program is a certificate. The second step is a diploma. The third is the actual degree ( Read more... )

1) Have fallen irrevocably in love with Richard Siken's poetry in all its screwed up glory.
If you are not familiar with the guy, and you have a little time, read "You Are Jeff". Just do it. You don't have to like it, but you should at the very least experience it.
A shorter read is Scheherazade, and that one is so worth a look too. But frick. "You ( Read more... )

And, because I am a loser like that a kind and benevolent writer who is about ready to kill her internal editor excited about her work, one more excerpt from this jumbled mess of a story that may never see the light of day outside of these brief excerpts my story...which still happens ( Read more... )

And since all the cool kids are doing it, an excerpt from the mess that is my as of yet unnamed 'true story' of Romeo and Juliet:

Been doing some reading about different productions of "Romeo and Juliet". Not exactly sure why, but I am, and it's revealed some interesting takes.

What pleased me most was the fact that there are a bunch of companies that have cast a woman as Mercutio, because this is something I've personally wanted to see for a long time. No reason, I just have.

I know, another entry title in French, specifically from Romeo et Juliette again. Je ne regrette rien, etc.

Guess what. It's the weekend. I have some work-related things to take care of (our annual plans need to be written up and whatnot), but I feel the need

What the actual hell?

I'd planned to set aside all of today to get planning for tomorrow done. Friday night and Saturday were days for me. Movies, grocery shopping, all that jazz. Sunday was going to be work day.

I woke up at seven, made coffee, and sat down to get started on everything.

I have everything ready for all five of my classes tomorrow -- ( Read more... )
