Back to school, back to school...

Classes start in twelve days. BOO.

Although I'm excited about the creative writing track program, I'm more nervous than anything. When I found out that I was being put in the playwriting section, I told myself that I would spend the whole summer teaching myself how to write a play. Unfortunately, planning my wedding, moving, and working 20-30 hours a week at Applebees kind of ruined that plan. So in twelve days, I'm going to walk into an advanced, reportedly "rigorous" playwriting class without knowing the first thing about writing a play. Can I go back in time to last semester and take intro to playwriting, please? That would be fantastic. My only comfort is the knowledge that there will probably be others in the class with the same dilemma, since the poetry and fiction sections filled up so fast. Well, that, and the fact that I'm guaranteed a spot in the fiction section next semester. :)

None of my other classes are worrying me at all. The only other class that I have on campus is Prose by Women Writers. I'm taking my other classes--Fiction Writing and Word Power: Building English Vocabulary--online. I'm really looking forward to both of those.

All this talk about going back to school makes me want to relax and waste my time with a nice long survey.

Are you ready for a long survey that actually has some new questions?
I wouldn’t be wasting my time on it if I wasn’t!

Who last texted you?
Jazmine from work. Not a very new question…lol

Have you kissed someone in 09 that means a lot to you?
Just my husband. I guess he counts. lol

What does the song you're listening to remind you of? What song is it?
I’m not listening to a song…my ipod is in Burlington 

Is there someone who you instantly smile when you receive a message from?
Yep.

Name something you dislike about the day you're having
I wasn’t able to talk to my manager about changing the name on my paychecks.

Are you disappointed in anyone?
Not really.

If you are being extremely quiet what does that mean?
Unless I’m with people I’m very comfortable with, that’s rather typical of me. It just means I don’t feel like talking.

What were you doing at 3am this morning?
Sleeping.

Do you have a friend you can tell stuff to and you’re sure they won’t tell anyone?
Yes.


Will this weekend be a good one?

Just one, though I’ll probably never even get one at all.

2:30.

Do you like being around a large group of friends, or a best friend?
A best friend.

What woke you up this morning?
Jordan coming to bed.

Could you date someone taller than you?

Very soon. 

Did you have any unread text messages this morning when you woke up?
Nope.

Have you ever kissed someone that's name started with a 'B'?

Is there anyone that hates you right now?
I don’t think so. If anyone does, they’re keeping it to themselves.

Have you ever woke up next to someone and wanted to puke?
No lol.

If someone liked you, what would be the best way for them to tell you?
Just say it. Even the most obvious signs can be misleading, so I think it’s best to be straight forward.

No! I haven’t had a “mistake kiss” in years.

Tell me a story about a scar you have.
On a canoe trip one year, Danielle was trying to pull me out of the water and up onto a really big rock. My knee was underneath part of the rock and she pulled me up before I could move it. A very bloody mess ensued.
