The Waiting

Is is the hardest part.  Tom Petty got this right.

I'm waiting for three things: 1. My final grades to be posted; 2. Vacation to start, and; 3. FOR IT TO STOP RAINING!  I usually love the rain, it makes Pennsylvania very green and luscious, but it has been too much.  I fall asleep to rain on the roof... and I wake up to rain on the roof.  It's gray, it's dull, and I loathe driving 50 minutes in it.  Because around here, people drive like assholes when it rains.

Back to the waiting.

I'll find out my final grades on Thursday, but I think my 4.0 has been compromised.  My cataloging class ended with a 88.  Unless my prof decides to bump me to 89.5, my perfect record is gone.  But oh well, 3.8 overall ain't bad either.

Vacation starts Saturday and I cannot wait.  Hopefully I'll have some funny and amusing stories to tell.  I haven't really spent a lot of time on here writing about my days.  It's mostly about obtaining my goal, which I guess right now is my days.

anyway...

The only fun and interesting thing I can say right now is that a friend and I have been throwing out ideas for a book.  We plan on writing it together, a collaborative effort - that was a obvious statement, and I'm keeping it here to punish myself for saying something so duh.   But we have some great ideas right now and we just need to get pen to paper....or keystrokes to virtual paper, really.

well, i'm running out of time.  off to work...

Free Flow of Thoughts

Ever since I started this blog I've had this draw to continue writing.  Maybe it's just new blogger syndrome, but writing random things down seems to be cathartic to me.  As a child, I used to write all the time.  I had notebooks full of poetry and short stories.  It helped me deal with the fact I wasn't friends with who I wanted to be friends with.  Cue the violins....

I've never given up on the dream to have a story published.  My aunt is a published author.  She has big plans for this New Year, and maybe that's what prompted me to think about writing again.  I'm not a strong writer, but I feel I have a nice flow to my work.  My writing aspirations have always revolved around something for young adults.  Maybe this new year a goal for me can be to come up with an idea and plot an outline.   GREAT IDEA!  And this is where it is most likely stay....an idea.  I have a busy year ahead; well, at least a very busy 6 months until I graduate.  I must keep this goal on the radar.

Until my 'Twilight' hits the bookshelves,  I will continue writing my free flow of thoughts on this blog.

Love and Peace,
