Upcoming Presentation

My fiction writing class has been planning a presentation of "Hearing Voices" for the student Scholarship day on Wednesday. I have to dress up in my renaissance dress, but it shouldn't be too bad. If the other girls wear fancy clothes, I won't feel so silly. I can't give too much detail yet, but after the fact maybe I can. We did hold a practice session today during our class time - two didn't show up - Mr. Altheizer and Mr. Page. The thing is, they are are beginning and end readers for the presentation! If you two see this, try and come to the presentation at 12:30 so we can all get our stuff together. We made plans and need to fill you in.

Stress Levels on the Rise

Stress is smacking into me hard, but I have been hanging in there. I am doing my best to make sure my training time for RA and GA are not conflicting - I have yet to hunt down my future RHD to talk to her about it. The Grad office was great, "We want our students to succeed" is what she said. I felt better after that, but I still worry.

I have been getting good progress on my Wiki Project. Mom is being given crash courses in Wiki-Wisdom and I think she can get it by the deadline. I have the main states to go yet and the date timeline. My own side is finished, but needs to be reformatted to my own liking (I'll do that after I have all the info I need).

My Beowulf project is still in progress, I am currently reading a book on the treasures of Beowulf - interesting excerpts will be put on the site. I am stressed about that site, but I am going to center all my energies on that after my Wiki is polished.

I have been going slow on my Women in Middle Ages paper, it's only a 10-13 pager, but I need to do a lot of reading before the 19th so I can return the library books.

And then there is the next assignment in Advanced Fiction - I need to turn in another 15 or so pages of new text along with my revision of my PeaceWeaver story. Let's hope I can find a weekend to do this - along with trying to get out the wedding invitations for my brothers weddng, wedding shower, and my graduation.

Oh and not to mention getting packed to go home for the summer, keep moms house in order with all my junk in it so the part can have room to breathe in may, make sure the lawn is all set up, try and save enough money to live the summer at home (getting a job is pointless for the two months I'm there), and making sure I don't freak out and start tossing ice cream into my roommates shoes - MUHAHAHAHA
