Don't Worry, I'm here!

Hello Faithful Readers!

Sorry I have not written for a while. I have been insanely busy, as the week after spring break awaits me with midterms, papers, and other projects I don't want to deal with, as I want the last six weeks to fly by so it can be summer and I can go to London.

I had a good spring break, but I could have used a few more days. I spent the weekend in Eugene with Antonia, which was fun. We went shopping and I spent most of my Forever 21 gift cards on much needed clothes. I spent a week at home, mostly hanging out with friends, old teachers, and my mom. I also caught up on sleep and enjoyed home-cooked meals and my favorite restaurants. Last Friday I got to talk to the seniors in Paula's psych class, and they were wonderful.

While this week has been stressful, at least I survived my Brit Lit midterm and turned in my art project. I still have two 10 page English papers and a 12 page psych paper awaiting me, but I know I will be done with them before I know it. In fact, I have already written 4 out of the 10 pages needed for my Lit Studies paper. I also have a fine arts midterm, oral critique, and presentation on the horizon. But summer will be here in six weeks!

Unfortunately, I did not get the workshop leader position. On the bright side, this means I'm going to be an Orientation Assistant! I'm excited to help out with Orientation, especially since I get to move in the week before school starts for training.

Tomorrow is NUCL, or Northwest Undergraduate Conference on Literature. Sadly, my paper was not chosen for presentation, but I am a chair for a panel for papers having to do with "deconstructing the female narrative". All the papers are about the role of women in novels such as Jane Eyre, Villette, among others. I didn't go last year, so I'm excited.

That's all for now, folks!
