I have been wanting to publish my writing portfolio since I turned it in a few weeks ago... I am actually really proud of how it turned out, and my professor loved it. I only lost one point on the entire project: one point for presentation on my poems, because my professor thought that two of them should have been centered. I disagree, but oh well ( Read more... )

I was just looking through all the tags that I've ever used on this LJ, and it's really kind of sad to see how many of them don't apply to my life anymore.

Achot. AEFTY. Boys. Camp. Choir. College. Family. Friends. Hebrew School. Hillel. Midrashah. Mock Trial. Music. NFTY. Poetry. Prom. School. Theatre. Work. ΦΣΠ.

Exactly half, that's how many. There ( Read more... )
