Do you remember when my bro was gone for 2 weeks this past summer? Well, maybe you don't, but anyways, that was for one of Overland's many summer programs; the one he went on was a 2-week bike trip in Cape Cod & The Islands, but there are other ones that are in different parts of the US, and some are even in different countries (including France ( Read more... )

Okay, so yesterday I went to the internships orientation thing that we had on campus, but I didn't really learn anything; well, I wrote a couple things down, and now I have this good resource book (which includes info about phone interviews, among other things), but I'd already known how to research internships, so I'm not exactly sure how ( Read more... )

I finished my resume for internships! Well, I'll probably end up changing it, but at least I have the first draft done. Now I need to make another appointment with Career Services. I know it's been quite awhile since my last appointment--in fact, she told me to come back in a couple weeks (which was like a month ago lol)--but I've been so darn ( Read more... )

Well, I'm relieved: my Honors Seminar mid-term is now over. Frankly, I have no idea how I did. If I think I did really well, then I did poorly, but not necessarily vice versa. Interesting reverse psychology, I know...well, our professor gave us the option of taking an all-essay test (5 or 6 questions), or a multiple choice test (plus 3 essay ( Read more... )

Okay, I've posted my story for Creative Writing online -- on Fanfiction.net, and actually I've had that account for quite some time, but haven't added anything until now. Click here to read it. Note: it's a first draft, so it's obviously not going to perfect, and also, remember that it's not a true story (it's FICTION duh ( Read more... )

I just wrote a 6-page story for my Creative Writing class. It's not due until Monday, but I wanted to get a head-start. I actually wasn't planning on writing [typing] it all at once, but once I got started I couldn't stop. And besides, if I'd stopped and come back to it later, I might've lost my train of thought or something. The prompt was to ( Read more... )

So far, in my Creative Writing class, we've been writing poems -- which isn't really my strong point, but we'll get to fiction in a couple weeks (which is really why I'm taking the class lol). I mean, I'm not a horrible poet, but I'm not best either. The other poems of students in my class--the ones I've read--seem a lot better than me, but then ( Read more... )

I just had an appointment about internships at Career Services -- I didn't start really looking for internships yet, because first I should put my resume together. I should try to get some writing/editing experience before I apply for an internship, because chances are likely that I'll need to submit a [published] writing sample. Although I don't ( Read more... )

Well, my first day of classes is over. And let me just say that it wasn't too bad. First of all, as you already know, I got my exercising out of the way in the morning, so I didn't have to worry about it later in the day. Also, I only had 2 classes today--11:30 and 12:30--so that wasn't too bad. My Honors seminar professor is a beginning ( Read more... )
