Still Here!

Howdy Folks!

So, I haven't updated in a while; life has been crazy! Spring break was spent writing my thesis "Germany and the Bologna Process: The Effects of European Integration on German Higher Education", and May was finals. I am now, however, free! And awaiting my degree results. Scary times. I should find out in a couple weeks.
But I am still here, and I haven't deserted the blog. I hope you're still reading!
I've been working on a few things for it, so look out for them coming soon!

So Rubbish



I am so bad at writing in here. I must try harder.

I just had a flash of inspiration and creativity, and sat down to work on my novel. I now have five chapters completed (until the final edit of course), which is 10,500 words.
I am aiming for 80-100,000 words in total, so although it 10,500 sounds like a lot, it's really not. Hopefully I will be finished by the fall. I would like to say before then, but it's senior year, final semester, I have a thesis to write, as well as four presentations and three papers, two written exams and an oral exam, so novel writing is on the back burner until summer, but maybe some miracle will happen and I will get to write a lot before summer.

In other news ... graduation is 10.30 am, Tuesday July 7. I cannot wait.

And I got new glasses. They are plastic, colored frames, very different from the plain boring, wirey ones I have been wearing since like 1998. They feel kinda weird, like they don't quite fit. But they do fit. I hate glasses. :(



Anyway, I need to sleep. Night night.
