Sorry about the long absence
So I haven't post anything about a million years. Life's been crazy busy for a couple of weeks, what with end-of-the-semester projects and papers and studying for finals and dealing with personal drama and... *sigh*. But it's almost over! I've got two classes tomorrow, and the the semester has officially ended! Finals are next week (I've only got two - wonderful thing about being an English major: no "real" final exams!) And then the week after that I start super-intensive summer Spanish for four weeks. Woohoo!
But seriously, I'm sort of half-happy/half-sad to see this semester end. It's been rough, no doubt, what with the roomies-from-hell and tons of family and friendship drama, but (and I know, I sound like such a nerd) I'm actually going to miss most of my classes. Particularly the writing ones. I went to my last writing workshop today and it kind of bummed me out to say goodbye to everyone.
Speaking of writing, I've been returning to the world of fanfiction after a particularly long absence, and it's been kind of cathartic, really. I'd forgotten how much fun writing with other people's characters could be.
That being said, though, I am going to use this summer to put in some serious work on my original fic. I wrote the first full draft for NaNo back in November, but I've decided to scrap like, 98% of it and start over. So there will probably be many posts of me complaining how hard writing is. Feel free to ignore those - it's just me being whiny.
Otherwise, yeah. I just wanted to pop in, say hi, make sure I hadn't forgotten how the internet works. Now I'm off to do more studying and, hopefully, start packing (Saturday is moving day!)
