I enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night at my mom's friend's house. Katrina's husband is a superb cook and we enjoyed his restaurant quality meal of crab, steak, twice baked potatoes, and grilled bread with olive oil for added flavor. It is seriously one of the best home cooked meals I've ever had! We had pie and ice cream for dessert and it left me feeling sleepy. I think eating so much cafeteria food has let me appreciate fine cuisine more. ^_^ Katrina and Barry are absolutely wonderful and cool people. I really enjoyed myself in their home and I felt comfortable around them. I think I really needed some downtime to let myself relax from my rather hectic schedule at the end of the semester. It seems like I still have so many papers and projects to do. :(
There are only four more weeks of school left after Spring Break, so completing my courses and busy schedule will make my summer vacation more worthwhile, knowing that I worked hard to get where I am today. I will probably enjoy my vacation more thoroughly after another busy semester. It'll provide me some relief for a while.
I have been working on my novel as well, on top of homework. It is called Danielle and I and it is about two friends who fall in love. (I won't give away any of the details.) I have written eight chapters already and I know it will take more time to complete than I can imagine at this point. There is still so much more that needs to be edited and added, so at the very least, a few years, if I'm lucky. I will definitely take my time with this work. ^_^
I have decided that I want to get my master of fine arts in Creative Writing, if I can. I would love to get into Vanderbilt, if at all possible, because they supposedly pay for all of your tuition if you enter into their program. I have read that the top schools in the country with this program only admit 10 or 12 people a year out of hundreds who apply. I am hoping that this path will give me the skills and experience to become a writer. If for some reason I cannot be an author, I will probably end up teaching or going into journalism...some career that will allow me to write, because that is very important to me. Writing is my calling in life.
I'll have to do some more research before I find the right graduate school. It would be awesome if I had everything paid for..that would be one last thing to worry about.
