My Last Essay...
odd as it seems, I am currently writing the last essay of my FSU career. Six years in the making, and still it doesn't seem long enough. However, at the same time, it seems infinite! Hopefully I will be graduating in August. If not, then I'll be around campus for one more class (which doesn't really count as around campus). I barely even see the campus as is. Anyways, I am a little out of it right now. I FINALLY figured out what I wanted my topic to be for my final paper...only thing is...I can't seem to really get it started now that I've gotten it all worked out. The flow's just not there tonight. I've got notes, and an idea, and I'm ready to knock out this paper, but it just doesn't seem to want to come out. Ah well, I should be used to this feeling by now; I have lived in my body for 24 years, and should know that it will transfer from idea to the page when it's ready.
I started reading "A Wind in the Door" again yesterday. The more I think about it, the more I want to write children's books, or Young Adult at least. Those are such interesting, formative years, and some of the most touching things I have ever read have come off the shelves for teeny-boppers. Then again, I wouldn't mind having one great novel either. One that lasts for centuries. Or even just a single poem that you can find on a Hallmark card, or a bookmark or something like that. I guess, I just want to make some sort of a difference. Doesn't have to be on a grand scale really. Just knowing that something I did is out among others having some effect is enough. Heh, I feel like I should be playing "Glory" from RENT. :)
So, continuing the countdown: I have only 5 days until the Netherlands trip. I feel like I am nowhere near ready for this! Maybe after this paper gets written and my final A/PII exam is over with I will be able to get a little bit more prepared.
Well, if anyone out there's got any thoughts on the SES descention of male characters in Oliver Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer" let me know. :)
