I am dying to get out of school, mostly because I am tired of waking up so early to go to class everyday. Also I hate exams. Only 22 days left of this!
Also I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I don’t know what to major in or what I’ll do after college. Oh well, hopefully I’ll figure it out. I’m really tired of people (read: my family) deciding that since I can write well, I should be a journalist. There ARE other jobs on this planet where you can write and NOT have to be a journalist. I haven’t had that great of an experience with it this year, but I’m willing to give it another chance.
I’m really excited about this summer: internship, job and class at Meramec. Okay, not so excited about the class or the job, but I am SO excited about the internship at Sauce. Hopefully I get to write and do actual journalismy things. I’m hoping that having the internship will help me decide if I actually want to do journalsim.
I have a lot of books I want to read this summer: Catch-22, 100 Years of Solitude, Anna Karenina, and Watchmen, among others. I know I won’t get through them all but after being forced to read stuff for classes all year I just want to read for fun, like in the good old days of middle school, where I would read Betty and Veronica books all afternoon. Right now I’m in the middle of Of Love and Shadows, which is really amazing. I love that author, and I want to read more books from the genre, but I think I need to mix it up a little bit, since I have also read The House of the Spirits and Stories of Eva Luna by the same author. Supposedly 100 Years of Solitude is similar to Isabel Allende’s work, and I REALLY want to read it, but I feel the need to branch out.
J.R. and I have been together for 8 months and things are going really great. Love him so much!
I’ve been on a really weird opera kick recently. It all started when we read M. Butterfly in World Lit. I’ve started listening to Puccini and haven’t stopped! I keep getting weird looks from people because I guess they can hear it through my headphones. I really want to see a real live opera now… now to convince J.R. to take me…
I edited my second story for the Maneater today. I applied to be assistant editor for next year and I got it! I guess it’s kind of a bad time to start questioning my interest in journalism, but I think it will be a fun experience, and I really like the people involved with the Maneater.
Someone just called me the CQ bitch… great…
I just want to become a geologist, travel around, camp everywhere and then write a series of novels that become really famous and college students 50 years from now will read them and write essays about them. Is that too much to ask? I just need some ideas for my series…
I HAVE THE MOST LAME BLOG EVER!
