This is just to say . . .
. . . that I have officially graduated with Honors in English for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at my university! Can't even believe how exciting this is!

Update: 4/4
I’ve been on a roll with this blogging thing lately, probably because there’s so much else that I have to do but have zero interest in. (Also, note that it took me until my last blog post to realize just how many parts of this post there were going to be. Lame.) Anyway, this last
Update: Part 3/?
So, even though I’m utterly swamped with . . . life at the moment, I’m still going to take an opportunity to update this blog regarding my writing for the past few months. Unfortunately, my thesis has been domineering my free time since mid-March. Ever since I met with my new adviser–who is total awesomesauce,
Update: Part 2/?
Here’s part two of the massive update of pain and horror. (Okay, I’m mostly kidding. Mostly.) One of the other things I’ve been swamped by this semester is work. I’m actually not doing that many hours, but I’ve picked up at least four or five shifts here and there to supplement my thirteen or so
Update: Part 1/?
So, it has come to my attention that it has been over two months since I’ve updated this LJ. Two months! *facepalms* I’m super sorry about my hiatus, which I can really only blame on school/thesis, work/looking for work, internship responsibilities/writing, writing, and more writing, and a personal life that has kind of been in
Inspiration
I’ve been playing my guitar more in the last few days than I have in the last few months. It’s funny how I go through phases where I’m dying to sit down and tinker with strumming and rhythms, with learning new songs or singing along to old ones. At other times, I can leave it
Good News!
Okay, that may be a deceptively exciting title, but I can’t help it. Last night I received an email from the agency I’d given up hope on hearing from saying that they still have my 50 page partial and I’ll hear from them by the end of the month! That means if I’m REALLY lucky,
2011 (Wrap-up) and 2012 (Resolutions/Goals/Thoughts)
As always, I can hardly believe it when another year ends. This time around, though, I have to admit that I’m mostly grateful for the fact that I get to have a new year, a new start. My reasons for this are simple–it feels like the time has come to really start over. And in

Christmas Cheer
It's been a busy last few weeks. Between wrapping up final papers/projects, celebrating with friends, and getting back home for break, I haven't had a lot of time to myself. So far, this suits me fine. I've spent time hanging out with a bunch of different home friends, making cookies and catching up. We're planning
Querying Update
So, I promised an update a few days ago with regards to my querying progress. I guess you could say this is me delivering. 🙂 At any rate, I heard from the agent about my full request, and ended up earning another rejection. This person was very kind, and gave me a ton of good
