The past few weeks have been interesting. Scratch that: the past year has been interesting.
I'm still recovering from jet lag and scrambling to get my room in order; the floor in my room is a disaster right now, and I desperately need some hangers so I can sort through my clothes. 16 hours of Chinese class a week is frankly draining and very, very boring right now.
The good:
I got into the Creative Writing program! Huzzah! I'll be taking prose fiction, two screenwriting classes, writing for children (in my case, YA), and comics writing next year
Tamora Pierce signing tomorrow
fencing!
fencers!
food festival and Yoshida Brothers this coming Saturday
The bad:
still don't have a replacement credit card
no iPod = no music = me going insane
gained too much weight/lost too much muscle this past year, which makes fencing kinda rough
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been canceled. Dammit
Spent the long weekend at my parents'. It's weird being home and not having Shadow there -- I keep thinking, Need to check the gate to make sure Shadow doesn't run out or I should go feed Shadow or Gonna go play with Shadow a bit and remembering. Not fun. My dad offered to show me her ashes, but I'm not ready yet.
Apparently, I'm to be Equity Officer and thus an exec for fencing next year. I convinced Ely to run extra tournaments so I can actually fill up the competition slots and earn points in time to qualify for CSCs and Nationals, and she went and scheduled a tournie every month. Not all of them will be foil, but still, that will be a lot of organising and early mornings, and we all know how much I love early mornings.
I missed fencing terribly. I don't think I realised quite how much until I got back. In a lot of ways, it feels like I never left, though S put the fear of God into me when he barreled towards me to give me a hug the first day. I regret not fencing in England, but it just wasn't the same without these guys, and besides, I had more than enough going on. I'm bruised and sore and exhausted from lack of sleep, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
All in all, it's good to be back.
Now off to study and sleep.
