Incandescence

This week has felt like a marathon--I think its because I know that I only have six weeks of school before summer, and I'm still not really sure what I'm going to be doing. I am trying to find an internship. I've had a few leads, but nothing concrete yet. It's allergy season, and I can definitely tell--I've had a low-grade headache all week. But that is irrelevant, because last night I got to hang out with three really awesome people: Jamie, Kelsey, and Arielle Beachy. My awesome, wacky, cousins. We went to New Phili for a late-night Taco Bell run, and then went to Wal-Mart, because Arielle hadn't been in one for over six months. For once I refrained from spending money. And of course today grandma cooked a feast and we all ate way too much. Anyway, it's been nice to be away for a few days to refresh and prepare for a new week. But the homework never stops.

It's been a while since I last posted. It seems like the longer I go without posting, the harder it becomes. But, tonight I am breaking that vicious cycle. Spring break was very relaxing.

So far I'm having a little progress with the internships, a little progress with the homework, :) and sadly, no Chipotle. I have another workshop coming up for my Creative Writing class on Tuesday, the problem is, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to write about. So far its set in Alaska. The main character is a woman. So, I now have to take those bits and pieces and create something worthwhile. Maybe I'll post some of it when I finish it. A-Z Rewrite Advice: D: push the details--people, places, things. Show in quick strokes rather than sentences and paragraphs. Show wh...

I haven't written for the last two Fridays. I could make up all kinds of excuses--Spring Break, behemoth advanced grammar take-home exams, travel. I have no 'pearls of wisdom' today (please forgive the cliche). So, instead of waxing eloquent on nothing in particular, I have looked up a quote by someone who I admire greatly. "Give me the Love that leads the way The Faith that nothing can dismay The Hope no disappointments tire The Passion that'll burn like fire Let me not sink to be a clod Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God" — Amy Carmichael
