Soooo it's been a while. I've had Christmas break - a month at home is a long time. Here is the Sparknotes edition:
Arrived at home - yay good food - Grandparent's Anniversary Party (Mom going INSANE) - Baking frenzy - Drew's new boyfriend Adam yaaaaaay! - fight with idiot ex - SCARIEST MOVIE EVER (Paranormal Activity - I had to sleep with the lights on for days) - sitting at home - Lifetime movies - babysitting - awkward Facebook messages from another ex that I'm still not sure how to interpret - packing up - back to Sewanee!
And so there was my break. And now I'm back at Sewanee, and we had our first day of class today. My schedule is incredible - somehow I've managed to only have Tuesday/Thursday classes and therefore a FOUR-DAY WEEKEND. Yes. It's awesome.
It's nice to be back on the mountain - I'm in a much better place than I was when I left. I'm writing again, which is fabulous and wonderful and amazing - a new project tentatively titled Mothwing. And I'm reading a ton of good things for classes and for fun. I'm generally a lot happier right now, though that could go downhill quickly since I'm comping this semester - ugh. (For those of you who don't go to Sewanee or another school who does this, comping = comprehensive exams = everything you've ever learned for your major and some stuff you haven't. It sucks.)
I still haven't a clue what I'm going to do after graduation, but I figure that'll come to me at some point. I'm thinking about teaching at a private school. Maybe. Or I might be flipping burgers at McDonald's for the rest of my life. Or living in a box under the bridge, as was my original plan.
This one is kind of ramble-y. I don't have a lot to say, because I haven't done much since being back, and there wasn't much of break worth commentary unless you count all that drama, and I really don't want to rant about that on the internet. So yeah. Good times.
Also, I found this funny little picture of Shakespeare and it made me really happy.
