We finally got the news on where we'll be living next year! We're in SC14, a townhouse on the South Crescents. It should be a pretty good living situation, but it's...different than I had been expecting. For one thing, Gina thinks it might be upstairs (we anticipated a lower-floor residence). Second, it's a townhouse, so we'd be sharing rooms. ( Read more... )

I helped out selling merchandise at our school's annual production of The Vagina Monologues tonight, seeing the show for the third year in a row. I always find this performance to be very life-affirming. It has so much humor but so much important stuff to say at the same time. And I really felt good about myself as a woman afterwards. :) I was also ( Read more... )

It's the weekend!! So nice. I can just hang out and relax today. Filming was cancelled again this weekend, so I have all this time to myself. I am glad I got a head start on my work yesterday, though, because progress checks for dance show are tomorrow and that'll take out a big chunk of my time ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Actually, the typical theme of the holiday doesn't really merit discussion for me on this journal, at least in this entry. I am single and this fact has never once bothered me on Valentine's Day. Truth be told, I don't have much interest at all in a relationship (although I am becoming open to the possibility). So I ( Read more... )

Another busy Monday kicking into full swing, especially in about 15 minutes when I leave for my placement. I'm still trying to figure out how to balance everything when I'm rushing from one thing to another on Mondays. I got myself a snack from the Daily Grind to have between placement and class, and something a bit bigger to fix for dinner when I ( Read more... )

I'm excited! I've got two packages most likely coming in the next couple weeks. The first is a literary journal that we had to subscribe to for my fiction writing class, so we could get an idea of the publishing world that we're preparing to enter. I'm looking forward to seeing what that's all about. The second is a book of short stories by Annie ( Read more... )

Updating livejournal to avoid the momentary writer's block on my assignment for Advanced Fiction Writing due tomorrow. It's only a 2-page story, so it's not like it has to be a masterpiece or anything, but I've hit a wall less than 200 words in because I realized I had no idea who the character I was writing was or what the main action was going to ( Read more... )

First off, happy belated Thanksgiving to you all. I've caught up on pretty much everybody's entries, and it seems to have been a fine time all around ( Read more... )

So, basically, we kinda rule. And I love dance club. And yay to all of us!! :) I think the show run ended great tonight, with only a couple minor mistakes. Even with all the exhaustion and strain on the nerves that dance shows cause, they're still one of my favorite things. I want it to be next semester already so I can dance again ( Read more... )

Just got back from the annual Guy Fawkes Day bonfire at the Point, hosted by my authentically British friend Head Monkey Andrew and fellow members of the BCC (bonfire coordination coalition). I think a good time was had, at least by most. It took me quite a bit longer than usual to get in the mood for it, because a lot of Andrew's friends from home ( Read more... )
