Aargh.

I am officially done with my short story and I don't hate it. Lauren, if you're reading this and you got my message and are worried at all, don't be. It turned out very well. You are still my muse and sounding board and I miss our long and involved conversations about literature. Are you home over spring break?

Um, anyway, I've still got two midterms this week but now they don't look so terrible. I've been working as hard as I really can this weekend and getting things done surprisingly well despite my fears that the wouldn't ever be completed. I also managed to get a sunburn on about two inches of my lower back between the bottom of my t-shirt and the top of my shorts (it was warm and sunny on Saturday so Rebecca and I laid outside on towels and read, and I put on sunscreen but I didn't realize the t-shirt was that short). Every time I get a sunburn I realize how humiliating and undignified they are. You can't look serious at all when you're sunburnt. Thankfully this one's easily hidden, and it'll remind me not to go outside without thorough sunscreening in the future.

I should be going to sleep but I won't feel tired for another hour...unfortunately that means that when I have to wake up at 8AM tomorrow it'll be like waking up at 7AM instead. I hate the way this time change thing works, I much prefer the fall when we gain an hour.

I think I'm going to go read a young adult book now that deals with cross-dressing, Shakespeare, and pirates. Let the fun ensue!

good luck on your midterms. i'm sure your story is good.
i have a crazy sunburn on the back of my neck from multicultural faire on friday, and the sunburn (complete with the line from where my shirt was) was clearly visable in my guard costume. not to mention the newly developed sleeve tan i gained from the experience *blush*

I much prefer the fall, too. You know how I feel about daylight saving time. Blocks magical spells.

I haven't written fiction since EPGY. How do you think I'll fair in a fiction class?

If you go on a diet of caffeine, sugar, fats, salt, and minimal sleep (just enough to say you slept, but not enough to not wake up feeling like crap) for three days or so you will have no problem writing any form of fiction. In fact, you will think that fiction is writing YOU.

Reading research papers in the meantime helps too, especially animal research.

I'm so sorry Candace, I haven't been checking LJ, and my phone is broken! It's so frustrating, especially for a week before spring break when everything needs to be set up. I really like the title of 'muse and sounding board,' although I'm not sure if I deserve it.
Can I read the story even though I wasn't able to help you brainstorm? Pleaaaaassssssseeeeee with sugar on top? :)

I will be home for Spring Break; I should be getting back sometime in the afternoon on Friday, actually.

I hate when the clock jumps forward! I need every hour I can get. And that book sounds insanely interesting.

You're going to get your books!

Don't worry, you don't have to apologize -- I managed okay with the story without you. I'll e-mail it to you sometime provided I don't forget...I'll try not to!

We definitely have to hang out over spring break. I leave on Friday the 28th so it would have to be some time before then, but darnit, I miss you! And then you can also bring me my books. :)
