Me, Me, Me....Me too

Yes, a new post is at hand. But is it worth reading? Who knows. Will anyone read it? Not sure.

Things have heated up around here, including the physical temperature outside, but as far as I go, things have been sizzling:

1) studying for my second GRE exam
2) Reading the 1,500 pages of books for my reading course on U.S.-Sino (China) relations
3) Discovering what I want to do for a living
4) The always-present possibility of me actually dating someone
5) Writing articles for the Lariat
6) Writing short stories for the application to UT's Michener Center for Writers
7) Writing entrance statements for: Carnegie Mellon University, Chatham College, Saint Joseph's University (all professional writing programs)
8) School work
9) Working in the library producing press releases and interviewing people for a promotional video

Next semester plans:

An internship with Baylor Press (Baylor's publishing arm) is on the horizon. That will be the equivalent of, count it, a total of FOUR internships. Yeah, take it! The course is a 'Professional Writing Internship' through the English Department. And I already know a girl working there; perhaps, just perhaps, I could find a way to get it paid. How could I work at the library and work 155 hours at Baylor Press at the same time? Answer: not possible. Figure that out later.

Last week

I dressed up as a panda. Yes, a panda. Why would Jonathan pull such an out-of-character charade? Well, author Lynne Truss came to Baylor, author of the NY Times best-seller Eats, Shoots and Leaves. The book is about punctuation, but from a humorous British author. The title is from a joke about a badly-punctuated wild-life manual that says that a panda "eats, shoots and leaves." Which is basically a killer bear. No comma would have discussed the panda's eating habits: eats shoots and leaves. Got it? Anyway, I dressed up in a big panda suit for the occasion; fun times. Pictures soon, hopefully.

This coming weekend

I will be heading to San Antonio for KXA's annual formal. It's been about two years since I went on KD's Take-a-Date to Dallas, so this should be fun.
