Blue Skies and White Floors

Hey All!!

It’s April and there is still snow on the ground. A lot of it is melted, but it’s still here, lingering like the memory of a bad scary movie that still bugs you even though you’ve told yourself it was all pretend. I’m told I should just get used to it because it will more than likely snow during Finals week. Lucky me (if you can’t feel the sarcasm hitting you in the face, try harder! haha). The horrible part is that the sky is blue, the sun is shinning and it’s almost 50 degrees outside. So it’s attempting to be spring, but obviously it isn’t trying hard enough.

In better news, and probably more interesting than my weather report, I will have successfully finished my first year of college is just four short weeks. I’m ready for it to be over. Not that I don’t love school, I’m just ready to make some money since I will be working actually part time instead of just two weekends a month. Which in essence also means that my paychecks will have more than 8 hours on them! Plus the sooner school is out means the closer July is and the closer to July we get, the sooner I get to go KATY PERRY!! (Super excited, can ya tell??)

I finished rewrites on D+K last Wednesday. I’m really happy with the way it turned out. I was happy with the first ending, but this one is much better. My characters are actually people now, and not just figments of my imagination. I feel like they have depth and are 3D. Maybe I’m just ranting like a proud mother, but I can’t help it!! I’m trying to send pages around to friends to get opinions and such, so if you’d like to be one of those people shoot me a message with an email address and I’ll send it your way. I’m hoping to get everything cleaned up and ready so that I can send my pages out the first week of June, so the more input I can get before then, the better. I still have a little bit of work to do, but I’m a lot closer than I was in January. Maybe next year my book will actually be on bookstore shelves….A girl can dream….

So yeah, that’s it. Not much going on. Saw ARTHUR with Russell Brand (well not with him, cuz if he had been there, I would have died, but he’s in it, but you probably understood that). Good movie. I better go, I have to go figure out my future with the advisors.
