Sunday afternoons..

I'm reading my poetry, pausing, stumbling, working on inflection.

It's bad to smile when you are talking about death.

And you have to give the listeners clues, that your poem is funny.

It's so much easier...to sit at the kitchen table, the ambience of unwashed pots and sunday comics as your audience.

When I present, I will have to take a piece of this tranquility with me.

I'd love for homework to disappear...

You probably guessed this, but schoolwork and crazy activities have taken over my life. And when I say crazy activities, most of them are ones that I'm having a blast in and I thoroughly enjoy participating in. I'm probably involved in too many extracurricular activities.

I'm still lovin' college...I just wish some of my homework would go away. Over the spring break I have got to get some stuff done otherwise I will probably fail college.

My to-do list?

1. Read Emma by Jane Austen

2. Read research for lit review (about 190 pages)

3. Study for a crazy intense 18th century literature test

4. Look up an article to summarize for Creative Writing

5. Have fun at conference

Yeah, I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but I'm going to English Conference over spring break and I'm pretty excited. I just got to work on my presentations.

~currently obsessed with on the radio:

Collapsing by Demon Hunter &

Dust by Queen's Club

Announcement

I got accepted to conference.

I'm waiting....I'm waiting...

So....I submitted a couple selections of my writing to this national conference that our English Honor Society goes to every year....

I submitted them November 20, 2009. They said they'd inform the people whether they got in or not on January 30, 2010. So I patiently waited and did my schoolwork and basically forgot about it until a week before it was going to be announced. When January 30 came around I kept checking my email.

Nothing.

And then I checked the official website and it said they were going to inform people on February 1. and also post them online. So I was going, "okay, that's nice, we will find out on Monday..."

Today's monday and now they've said they are having technical difficulties and will sent out emails before February 2.

Oh my goodness.
