1.) I've spent my entire day working at a bake sale for Green Club (of which I'm the president). And we've made lots of DOUGH. (Haha, get it, 'cause baking...)
2.) I keep getting inappropriately anxious about things. Especially college, the common app essay, not writing or reading enough, planning when to finish Infinite Jest, losing my friends, homework, college, getting enough sleep, college, being a person, college...
3.) I had a brownie for breakfast today. This is very unusual.
4.) The Oberlin College rep visited today...he wasn't very interesting...and I was really nice to him, and showed him around, but our college counselor isn't here today....but the guy doesn't even know my name.
5.) I will be at Kenyon OCTOBER 23/4/5, with my friend and my teacher, who is a Kenyon alum. You guys should totally visit at the same time...(ahem, Logan).
6.) Our fall play is October 16-18th, and once again I have been cast as the girl with guy problems; i.e. I'm 26 and have a 7 year old child and his father only visits every year or so. (He's basically the same character as the dad in Boyhood. But not as good of a person.)
7.) I haven't been writing much :/.
8.) I FINISHED INFINITE JEST LAST SUNDAY. I was on the last 30-40 pages for a good two weeks because I was worried about how emotionally and intellectually empty I would feel after finishing it...but yeah, it was AMAZING, and I'm rereading the beginning now.
9.) Yeah, pretty emotionally torn now though.
10.) Homecoming this weekend, yay!
11.) I thought I had more to say.
12.) LEGIT IMPORTANT THING: I'm doing an independent study this fall term, and it's on the role of religion and science in literature. I will be posting here and also asking for advice. Post with more details about that coming soon (hopefully tonight).
13.) Let's all go to Houston!
14.) You should all see Guardians of the Galaxy. IT'S HILARIOUS.
2. Me too. I've been worrying a lot about the future. Like a lot. Like soul-crippling worry.
ReplyDelete4. Sometimes I get really anxious that my actions aren't actually affecting anyone at all. Like when someone doesn't respond for a long time when I'm talking to them, I start wondering if I actually said anything or not. fun.
7. Me neither. Well, except for Creative Writing class. I'm kind of worried about November because I haven't written a ton in one sitting in a while, so I don't think it's going to be easy at all.
8. Yayyyy!!!!! What were your favorite parts? To which theory of the ending do you subscribe? I like this one: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/ijend
10. My homecoming type dance (we call it senior formal) starts in like 7 hours, so yeah
11. Don't we all
12. That sounds really interesting. Please do post more about it!
13. Yes, please do that. now.
14. saw it...meh
2. I think we all are feeling this, in some form or another. Can we send each other random things of love to keep each other going? Or I can just be in charge of that. Whatever. :)
ReplyDelete3. Not unusual! Before the sabbath I was at Rami's house, and when I was leaving to go home, I saw his mom making brownies. I told Rami to bring me some brownies when he came over that night to hang out, and boy did he, and boy was I grateful, and basically brownies rock and you're okay I promise. :D
5. I WISH I COULD BE THERE WITH YOU.
6. I WISH I COULD BE THERE TO SEE YOU.
7. Daniel: What's in November?
8. STOP! It's on my list!
10. I wish my school did that. We only have a student made senior prom, and I can't take either of you. Guess I'll have to settle for Rami. (but its okay, he dances like a cute white boy.)
12. I'm part of a religion! I can help!
13. On my way.
7. NaNoWriMo! An all too hopeful and cursory attempt to write a novel!
DeleteDaniel:
ReplyDelete2. Soul-cripping worry. Perfect phrase. Yes.
7. You're so lucky to have a Creative Writing class. Seriously.
8. Favorite parts gosh...I'd have to look back through it. Eschaton is the funniest part. Although the scene where Hal goes to the support group with the guys cuddling teddy bears...that's a close second. I love all the parts from Hal's point of view, especially as his mental health is declining. And that's the same ending theory I liked :D. I read it all the way through after finishing the book. Veerry thorough.
Leah:
2. YES. Random support should be part of this blog.
3. Wow, Rami is so nice.
5+6. ME TOO.
12. YES! This is my intention. I'm hoping all y'all will help.
YAY NANOWRIMO!!! Woowoop.
