Yes, I'm alive! (And have a WIP list!)
Dec. 2nd, 2008 09:50 pmHahaha, so, uh, I see that I haven't updated in quite some time. My bad! I, uh, have mostly been self-pitying and moody this entire month, so I figured I'd spare you all the whining. ;)
These past two weeks, I have written a 9-page paper (that, uh, turns out we only needed a thesis statement on and isn't due for two more weeks, hahaha, oh god, I fail at listening comprehension), completed a 35-page project, and am in the middle of composing a seven-minute speech on Cary Grant entirely in French that I have to do on Thursday (and, uh, actually skipped the class today because the presentations began today and I wasn't ready at all, heh).
So yeah, been busy! But after my French presentation, I just have a few portfolios to put together and then exams in the middle of December, and then it's winter break. This winter break, besides working at the local pharmacy to pay car loans, heh, I'm going to go through my WIP folder and try and finish off my stories. I...have a lot of stories, hahaha.
Anyway, onto the list, going from the largest word count to the smallest, since I figure I'll finish the larger WIPs first.
