(no subject)
This is (once again) just a quick update to let you know I'm still alive and doing well. I think this weekend I'll have the time to sit down and relate (in a rather impressionistic way, no doubt) the salient facts regarding my first two weeks of classes. As it is, I'm so busy with homework, clubs, and now my internship. (I'm actually missing two club meetings just to type this!)
The basic story is: Rick was here this past weekend, and it was fun to hang out with him, and I miss him now he's gone, bt on the other hand, it's nice to be able to sit back and power through homework without worrying that I should be spending time with him instead. My classes are going well -- I'm beginning to believe what "they" all tell you about taking a lighter courseload as a first semester freshman.
I had my first day of work this morning and it was pretty normal. NaNoWriMo got a grant from some Bay Area organization to expand their Young Writers' Program, so I went and looked up schools and libraries in the Bay Area that might want to sponsor/support YWP.
My classes are going very well, and I'm beginning to feel like they all overlap. I'm reading my history books like novels and my books for English like history texts (which is probably not the best thing, but at least it's giving me fluency in both and the ability to connect art to history). Same sort of connection between Creative Writing and English. And then there's this big three-way melding of English, CW, and my Language and Technology seminar. Basically everything in my schedule entertwines with something else.
I'm slightly sore from Tae Kwon Do, but I'm sure that's natural. I think I'm the least flexible girl in the class. There are three guys in the class of thirty, and I'm more flexible than one of them. I tie the other, but the third guy can do the splits. Eep!
I really should get going now because I have to find a portion of Gulliver's Travels that I actually like and write a commentary on it for tomorrow.
Oh! Wait! A note to people who have been leaving comments/posts that require my response: I really will get there! I obsessively read my friends page when I have time and comment on anything that seems necessary. As for comments people have made that I need to respond to, I save them in my inbox and mark them as unread. So I really will get around to them when I have the time!
