Day 3

So it's 10:33 am and I should really be studying...or something.  I just got out of American Literature class and once again, it has proved its brilliant worth.  My professor is quite intriguing and clearly knows what he's talking about.  Anyway, we just finished our discussion on Frederick Douglass and now are moving onto to Whitman - I've heard he's brilliant so we'll see.  Next things on my to-do list for today: 1). Lunch with Patty, who is a charming young woman indeed,  2). Ride my horse, which should be fun,  3). Study (bleck!  I was hoping to avoid this one...but no matter how hard I try, I will not be able to move time ahead of Thursday at 3:00 so I can skip my History of Asian Art quiz), and 4). Read, write, and do other anti-school productive things like that.  I hope everyone has a more exciting day than me!

~Cheers!

Day 2

So today was quite uneventful indeed - slightly depressing huh?  I'm sure that when I go to visit my friends in Montecito, the excitement will pick up.  They are quite grand people.
But!  On a happy note, I did turn in my job information - so we shall see if I get the call next week!  Keep your fingers crossed!  Besides dragging myself to class, (I was happily surprised with a not-so-great grade on my Philosophy midterm...), and turning in my potential-job-candidate information, I was busy fretting over the condition of my submitted story!  I dearly hope that Pomona Valley Review bothers to read it, because it has a good message to tell.  I swear I had no idea that all spacing was not erased!  *Wheezes slightly*   Please read it PVR!  I should really take a chill-pill, I'm getting out of hand...

~Cheers!

Day 1 Still...

So I said I would write again in a few hours, and I believe it has been more than a few hours.  I finished my cover letter, thanks for asking!  I hope that it ends up paying off - we shall see tomorrow!
I spent most of the day writing my short story for the Pomona Valley Review submission, however, and perfecting my poems that I am sending into the magazine as well.  I realized only too late that my story may not have been in the completely correct format, but it was just one little flaw!  I did not get rid of all spacing, like the magazine had asked, but I did everything else correctly!  In my defense, I had thought that the spacing was gone...I'm not really sure why I had thought that.  I think it was because there had been a little dot in the "no spacing" box...Well how cruelly misleading Word!  Anyway, I hope the editors read it anyway because I, for one, thought it had turned out to be a mighty fine story indeed.  I'll divulge the title in the next post which will most likely be tomorrow!  Now I am off to read some Frederick Douglas, if I can manage to pause Ed Sheeran, that is.

~Cheers!

Day 1

Hello everyone!  Though you may not know who I am - I know who you are.  Yes - you're a reader, an inquirer, an artist, a fellow writer, a mathematician, an engineer - but all of you joined this blog for a specific purpose.  My purpose was to give myself a way to delve deeper into my most inner feelings and doubts through written (well typed) word and well, to give myself a place to either rant or praise without care.  I shall post again soon, though when, I cannot say exactly.  It will most likely be in a few hours or so - but for right now, I really need to get to work on my cover letter!  

~Cheers!
