So, as some of you may know, I like to sing.  And I'm in my school's chorale.  And we haven't been as on the ball this year as we have in past years, so some of the pieces with solos only had those solos assigned on Monday, with our concert looming on December fourth.

I had decided a while ago to audition for solos, because, well, I like to push my ( Read more... )

Our assignment is to take one single word that Chaucer uses and analyze it in context.  Sometimes he may use it ironically, sometimes its use will be telling of other things about the speaker ( Read more... )

You guys remember Power of the Pen?  The one story I have that's broken up into lots of sections?  I had space between each note so that you could distinguish between them, remember that?  That was good that you could tell where one note ended and another began ( Read more... )

University life needs an eighth day of the week.

Today has been hectic.  I start at 9:30 am with my very hardest (but also my favorite) class--Medieval Literature.  Also known as Read Your Eyeballs out.  No really, that's not just a student phrase.  That's what it says on the syllabus.  No, REALLY.  And, since it's a half semester class, I had my ( Read more... )

Since I can't seem to get a word out, I've been working on some bad photoshopping.  Because considering the limitations of the mouse on this computer, it's very difficult to achieve good photoshopping.  But here are some Firefly creations:

I was supposed to meet with Joe at the bagel place to talk about possible job openings.  However, we never set a specific time, so I aimed for about 1:30 pm.  I got to town a bit late, and then spent the next 40 minutes trying to park!  There was one open parking space in the entire town and by the time I found it Joe had already left.  The girl ( Read more... )

I'm looking for a specific story!

I do not know what it is called, nor do I know who it is by (I thought it was Gaiman, but I can't find it in ANY of his collections).  I do, however, know what it is about.

Hallo all you lovely livejournal people.  I have been quite absent ever since school started, it seems.

Hmm.  I would also like to take this opportunity to point out that my spacebar is not working properly.  There may be words squished together.  Apologies.

Also, apologies for not responding to any comments, and not visiting more often. School has ( Read more... )

Random rant time: I just hate, hate, hate writing essays.  Fiction I love writing, essays I hate.  Especially essays on Directed Self Placement as a method of placing students in the proper writing courses.  So, yes, I was writing an essay on the process of putting students in writing courses, as a test to put me in the right writing course.  So ( Read more... )
