As Promised

Here is a nonfiction essay that I wrote. This essay is a "collage essay" because it is made up of different sections that, when put together, create the theme of the essay. Another great collage essay is Ira Sukrugruang's "Loose Interpretations of the Dreams You've Had During Naps in Thailand While Your Mom Listens to Buddhist Sermons About Suffering"

Enjoy.

Moving Day!

I'm moving into my first house today! I wouldn't be nearly as excited if I didn't have two dogs. Also, no more sharing a wall with strangers who have sex very loudly. We were able to find a lovely woman to take over our lease since it doesn't end til March, so everything is working out wonderfully.
In some other news, school is going well. All A's so far. I've been thinking of posting a nonfiction essay on here once a week, so I might start doing that on Thursdays. Might.
For my technical writing class, I had to put together a survey asking various questions about pies, desserts, and a pie distributor named Queen Bee Pie Shop (which is currently not in business). If you would like to help my grade, you can take the survey HERE
The deadline to take the survey is this Friday, October 26th.

Let's Get Ready to Ramble

It's that time of the semester. Time to build my schedule for the next semester. Today, I went and spoke with my academic adviser to figure out what classes are left for me to graduate. After this semester, I will have 27 hours left. At three hours a class, 4-5 classes a semester, I will be able to finish college by the end of next summer.
Apparently, even though I'll be finishing my hours in the summer, I can still participate in the May graduation ceremony. I am so excited about this, because it means I can walk with my class.
This past year has been a mess. I only took one class the ENTIRE year, and that completely threw me off balance. But, I got back on track with summer classes, and now I'm back at school full time. I had come to terms about not being able to graduate when I initially intended to, but now I feel so much better.
In other news, I'm moving--again! My best friend, whom I've lived with before, and have mentioned in a previous post, has procured a lovely five-bedroom house. My boyfriend and I will hopefully be moved in by the end of the month. Our current roommates don't know yet... oops.
In OTHER news, I have decided to completely take out the introduction to my book. I've read it, and edited it, over and over again. No matter what I do, I don't like it, and it doesn't need to be there. I have yet to get past the first three chapters, but I still plan on finishing it. Hopefully by the time I'm 30.
That was a joke. I want to finish it by the end of next year...maybe...hopefully...
