Rain, rain
Dec. 7th, 2003 09:48 amWhy is it raining? Why? I mean, I *finally* figured out how I can skate long distances and not get a sore throat and icky feeling (go at a moderate pace, duh). My skates are all pretty now, too. I got rainbow shoelaces at Hot Topic the other day. They clash with the orange and purple on the skates, but that's okay. Pretty! And I went skating yesterday for about a half an hour, which is a record for me alone, writing a lovely crossover in my head that involved Norrington, Jack, and Sara Stone, my pirate captain's daughter from my now defunct pirate novel. I don't consider Sara a Mary-Sue because I never really identified with her, despite the last minute character development of her falling in love with a woman.
I really should try writing that novel again. But I must work on Kali. Someday.
I'm now in the home stretch, which scares me. I have an interview in a week and a day. My portfolio is still disorganized, I don't know what I'm going to wear (I'd do the black turtleneck, gray skirt, and black shoes again, except a. I don't know if it's professional enough and b. I think the turtleneck makes me look too thin and the skirt is about a half-size too big for me). I still have to come up with things i did that fit the teaching standards this session, but because my master teacher was so regimented, I don't think I did much. Then, in a week, I'm done. Yay! Except I have to get master teacher a present (I'm thinking a gift card to Starbucks since she's now addicted to lattes and a card) and something for the kids (pencils).
And then, I start wrapping. Woohoo.
I'm almost done with the first draft of COTW 41. I had an idea of how I wanted to end it, but I don't think I'll do it that way. I have a feeling it's going to end on a melancholy note again. Not sad, exactly, but not the happiest. But things will get better (except for Kylia dying in the next fic [depending on how I do that} and Whitney going MIA. Geeze; I don't see one reason for Clark not to be suicidal after the next few fics. But he won't be. I promise. ;).
Okay, off to reread Professor Lex part 6 so I can intelligently comment on it, go to Office Max to get stuff for my portfolio, and finish the fic.
