Humdrum

It's been a long time since I've posted on here. I've been busy, of course, with other things. Most of the time, I am working (as in, Housing & Residence Life tasks), doing homework, attending class, or maintaining my Tumblr, which is a far more personal blog than this. Sometimes I get a day or a night to do my own thing -- catch up on the many television shows I watch or work on the job hunt, which is just as stressful and tiresome as I remember it being. During meals, I typically eat with friends, though when I don't, you can find me thumbing through my cell phone to pass the time between bites.

I also spend a lot of time working on my novel. I won't say much about it here, but if you see me in person, I'm happy to tell you about it individually. This has been the first book/longer written piece I've done that I haven't gotten bored of by twenty pages in or so. I'm optimistic about it and hope to start sending it out to publishers by the end of next summer. Maybe sooner.

This post probably isn't very coherent. I drove five hours from DC today to get back to school. The drive usually takes about three-and-a-half hours, but with the Thanksgiving traffic and a rather unforgiving sun today, it was atrocious. I'm trying not to think about it and put it behind me.

Other things going on. I'm an aunt now. That's new. That happened on October 10. His name is Aaron. I haven't met him yet, but I expect I will when I go home for Christmas break.

I'll be twenty-two in two weeks. I don't know if I'm doing anything for my birthday. In fact, all I think I really want is a good sleep. I think I sound old.

Ring Night is over. It was so much fun and I'm sad it didn't last longer.

My life has been pretty standard lately, so I don't have much to talk about. Perhaps sometime in the near future you'll hear from me again.
