Well, I graduated a couple of weeks ago. That was an interesting day... a large part of my family attended the ceremony and even more came to the party afterward, including my Uncle Fran and Aunt Mary. I've seen them three times this year and every time they have succeded in making me cry. He's always had the idea that I would be a writer. In ( Read more... )

Today has been the most crap day I've had in awhile. I can't shake these feelings of loneliness and alienation and anxiety... Graduation is almost a month to the day and I'm a little freaked out. I bought my cap and gown. Scary shit... My car was smoking and leaking radiator fluid as I arrived to work and I've generally felt like crying all day ( Read more... )

It's my last paper of my last class (Portfolio not included)... and I am slightly freaking. How odd is that? Thank God she's accepting papers Tuesday without penalty because if it had been due tomorrow as originally planned, it wouldn't have been a pretty picture. I have half of it written, but that needs modification. I started it Monday and ( Read more... )

So many things I've wanted to write about here the last few days, but I've had no time to do it. Really, I should be working on my Hamlet paper right now, but I'm not feeling like my thesis is any good, despite the fact my professor signed off on it, which in turn means that I have to keep said topic. ugh... please let tomorrow be productive and ( Read more... )

Finally after 17 years of education, I was required to read Hamlet for class. We've basically finished it in class, although it still feels like there are so many things left uncovered.

So, this is where I am. I'm about to graduate from college with an English Literature degree... four more credit hours until I am out from under the protective wings of education. I'm beginning to look for my career and it hasn't been successful so far... Part of the problem is I don't know what I'm qualified to do and the two ideas that come to ( Read more... )

Apparently, being a dreamer is a genetic trait. heh;) Or so any Irish play would have me believe. Next time, I really should go and spend some proper time with my cousins and really see if there's any truth to that ( Read more... )

I'm finished with all of my applications for the study abroad program... hopefully, soon I'll hear the good news that I will be spending 4 months of the near future in London. I'm only taking 12 hours this semester: 18th century novel, 19th century novel, Bridges to Childhood (a creative writing class), and Contemporary Confessional Poets which is ( Read more... )

It's been a very long time since I've written here... so much has happened in the last couple of months, things that I've wanted to record for a long time, but haven't gotten around to. I figured I'd break them up into parts ( Read more... )
