Back in the Saddle

I had to take some time to work on my thesis so I haven't done much new writing. But I did write today. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

I'm waaay off track, but I'm doing the best I can as I try to juggle school, working full time, and requirements for graduation. Only 8 more weeks of class and then I will be a free woman with an MFA (Well, free from classes. Then the student loans will descend.).

My advisors are reading my thesis, giving me feedback in the next couple of weeks, and I turn it in on April 16. But in the meantime, I think I can get some writing done. I hope so, anyway. I'm feeling a little shaky, a little out of practice, but I have a lot of good ideas, so hopefully it will all work out.

Today the sun was shining and it was snowing. Too warm for the snow to stick, though. The perfect example of what spring in Chicago can be like. Snow, sun, warmth, grayness, all during the same day.

On Saturday, I'm reading with some other SAIC folks at the AWP Conference at the Palmer Hilton. It's in the afternoon, if you plan on being in downtown Chicago.
