Bucket list
Well, now I can cross Ontario, California off my bucket list, right under Rantoul, Illinois. Also, so far this trip has included 2 planes, 3 take-offs/landings, 1 car, 1 bus, 1 taxi through downtown LA during rush hour, and 1 train (6+ hours later than was on the original itinerary, but only 2.5 hours of that were the train's fault). But we're not ( Read more... ) -

I don't have imposter syndrome. I'm pretty sure that from an objective standpoint all evidence points to my actually being a doppelgänger. -
I ♥ grad school
I am really enjoying grad school-I love my program, my speechie classmates, my professors, my clinical placements... this is so much fun. Not getting to see people socially or really be involved in things other than school is not so awesome, but y'know, it's only for another 17 months (well, and maybe another 9-13 months if I get one of the ( Read more... ) -
B/i/k/e/ Bus to Work Day
I punked out because of the rain--if it had been raining just a little bit less, or not raining but only threatening and wet, I was totally prepared to ride, trusting to my sweet fenders to keep the muck off, and taking advantage of the free MATA rides for cyclists all day today. But it was raining just a little too hard, and I've never ridden in ( Read more... ) -
Good day
It was actually kind of a cranky day, with all kind of conflicting demands and special people at work, and too much to do generally in my life, and we're in the dickering phase with the house we're looking at, and weather-induced headachiness and hormone-induced general "people make me tired"-ness ( Read more... ) -
Update: Comprising the Ides of July to the Kalends of August
Got my first rejection last week. Last Tuesday, actually, so more than a week ago--I'm past the sad stage. Actually, the sad stage was unexpected; I thought I was going to be totally heiki about it, no matter what happened, and it turned out that rejection--even when it's expected and you've told yourself that it's fine and a good sign and you'll ( Read more... ) -
Time passes...
Still working hard. The wordcount thing is maybe still a bit ambitious, and I'm having troubles there, but I'm counting it a good day when I write, and I'm noticing that my speed seems to be slowly increasing. So that's nice ( Read more... ) -
That writing thing
My project from last year stalled out, for a number of reasons. Among them being that I don't have a good idea of the lay of the land where I've set the story, and can't really change where it's set. So until we can take a trip to Cardiff, that particular work in progress is... not progressing ( Read more... ) -
Looking at the stars
I did it. I've submitted a short story to an online magazine, in hopes (but not really expectation) of publication. I should hear something in 4-8 weeks ( Read more... )
