So I don't really have anything new or exciting to post...my interview with Rachel Weisz (her last name is pronounced "vice" - just in case you were wondering) was sort of a bust..she wasn't very talkative and I ended up feeling like a big old loser until the photographer confirmed that the lovely Miss was indeed a wee bit on the reserved side...
other than that I've been busy trying to get back into the work swing of things...and keep on track with school....only two weeks of classes left, then a term paper that's due, then a final...and then i'll be one-fourth of the way through my MFA career. But there won't be much rest for the weary, I'm doing an independent study during the summer and will probably (hopefully) be involved with a writing group so that I can stay motivated ... it's not that I don't want to write, it's just hard to find time to do it when you work full-time, so having the writing group will hopefully give me that extra incentive during the summer...
Anyway, after I finish the independent study, I will actually be ONE-THIRD of the way (as opposed to one-fourth) through the MFA program...right now I'm trying to decide if I want to graduate in December 2004 or Spring 2005. We're talking a difference of $8K here....there's a class I really want to take that will only be offered in the Spring of 2005 - and it would give me one more semester of doing a workshop - that's in the pro list (for those of you who watched the Gilmore Girls this week, you understand the importance of these pro and con lists)...in the con list is that big ol' $8K figure - plus another semester of my life wherein I am incredibly strapped for time and incredibly stressed...anyway, I've given myself until the end of the year to decide....i really don't have to make the decision until January when it comes time to register for classes - if I graduate in December then I have to sign up for the MFA thesis next spring...ok, I'm just rambling now...but this is the kind of stuff that's giving me a headache...
I really do have a headache right now...I think I need to go hunt down a Diet Coke or something...
