Surprises, fortune cookie, graduation, writing

I stopped to talk to my Res. Hall Director downstairs and he said that there was a chance that I may be able to get the Resident Assistant position if I didn't take the pay but got the free room and board. So, he said he would look for my application down at the Res Life office and see if I can get back in the running. I still have to see if they would accept me anyway. So, here goes the waiting. I'm excited, Aspen and I are both supposed to know by Wednesday. Although, if they can't find my application I am sure I'll be told right away. Ah well, life will go on if I don't get it.

My fortune cookie said "Your friends respect you for your honesty and openness." Honestly, sometimes I'm too open about some things! LOL My poor roommate has to suffer through my harangues of openniness. (New Word! WOOT, I win.)

Graduation is sneaking up on me. I have already peeked at the rings that you can buy. I don't wear my highschool ring - what makes me think I need a $$$$$ College ring $$$$$? Besides the coolness of it? It's only going to cost me about $30 for the cap/gown/tassle and that's not too bad. My grad plans have been totally accepted. I am getting a BA English degree with a 2nd major of BFA Writing. Not bad for 5 years huh? Sure I graduated high school in '97, but I did take about a year off if you add up the times I left UNT and came to Minn.

I have the worst ache to write lately. The problem was trying to get started. I have that Peaceweaver story in my head and I know I am going to write this story, but I had to figure out in what tense and what point of view. I have figured out I will stick with the girl's point of view and I am definitely toning down the fantastical elements. Maybe make it more life-like. More to come on that as I get going. I have a start and we'll see what Weaver makes of it.
