my reading went really well. lots of people showed up; lots i didn't expect. it was really very touching for me to see my friends there. my friend david, who i'd never actually met, from texas, has been in iraq for a while, got back in one piece, was in the city and stopped in. it was such a surprise. i wish i could have spent more time with him this weekend. stupid finals. but it was like a present almost: all these people in one room. even one of my philosophy professor showed up. i made someone's mom cry (that is apparently a good thing) and everyone really enjoyed it, it seemed. i admit, i almost cried myself because, well, it's a really hard piece to read. i caught my friend ben's eye and for some reason got really choked up at the expression on his face...then i saw maria in her blue wig (to distract me so i wouldn't cry) and it held me together. and scarlett and her boyfriend david were there, and preston. the whole back of the room was lined with people i know, love, and care about. some of the 'underclass-undergrads' who i met at the department party showed up and man...it was just cool to have them there. then my professors, eileen fung (my literature senior thesis advisor) and susan steinberg (my writing thesis advisor) were right in front, with my TA matt right behind. i love my professors, that's a given. but i have to say that matt's assistance and patience with me and my writing as really helped it develop to a level i didn't know i had in me. and the lit paper reading went well too. so yeah, it was really a great experience. and now i'm just kicking my ass to get finals finished by the time my mom gets here wednesday.
