wench

you want towel?  …  you want mint for pillow?

Okay, for the first time in a while, this actually feels like a Monday.  And well, as the start of the week, I feel like I need to do some organizing and thought gathering and just some general housekeeping.  (and please tell me you get the reference [...]

Damn it.  I thought I had this figured out.
I’m questioning my grad school decisions… yet again…
I thought I had settled on Creative Writing.  But now that I’ve sat for long enough without completing an application*… I’m starting to wonder if what I want to do is indeed study writing.
I’ve got a lot of interests, and [...]

It recently came to my attention (by myself) that I should be stressed.  Or more stressed than I am.  I mean, I have my days… but overall, I almost feel like a hippie with all this carefree-ness floating around.

I’ve been unemployed for about a month and half now
I didn’t get the writing job in Madison, [...]

I’m still sick.  … I’m not happy about it.  … I’m about five coughs away from calling up my old Chinese roommate and asking her for some dynasty approved cure… Seriously. I’m done with this.
ANYWAY….
I’ve had a lot to think about lately — more so than my despise for this virus running a muck through [...]

Just thought I’d inform everyone that I’ve got a grad school application due this week… in a few days actually…
So… well… I’m more than a little distracted and am attempting to focus all energy there (minus the energy required to do my work tasks..)  .. But with essays to finish and edit and rewrite, and [...]

So apparently consuming a fair bit of sugar and caffeine has helped get a lot done on my graduate admissions… I mean, I did indeed get my taxes done, as well as my FAFSA, as I’ve mentioned… but I’ve also managed to submit two applications as well — I just need to finish a few [...]

Last night, Dani and I attended a Literary Feast for a Creative Writing MFA program we’re both interested in (though, I will say, I don’t think it’s my first pick even despite the school’s ranking).  It was an interesting event.  We missed the first reader — the poet… but got there in time for the [...]

Well, I’ve talked about it for a long time…. and it’s finally approaching.
My grad school application is due on Monday.
…. unfortunately I can’t log in to their site and finish it.  All I need to do is copy and paste my essay then submit.  I’m going to call this afternoon to see why it isn’t [...]

So, I’m doing it again… over thinking and reconsidering my options for grad school.
I’m still very confident that I want to go to Columbia College.  I’m not questioning that.  It’s been more of figuring out which program would be best for me there.
My first thoughts have been the AEMM program.  With that, I thought I’d [...]

I moved to the Second City in June 2007.
I decided to move in May… I had thought about it before, but well, Chrissy sort of pushed that to a firm yes.  I think it may have taken me two weeks to find an apartment, sign a lease, and then move in to said apartment.
I was [...]
