A Jumbled Life Update

Cumulus
KYOO-myuh-luhs 
-A heap or a pile



Alright, it's time for a quick life update, in list form because who doesn't like lists? I actually don't really like lists, but I'm trying to become more of a fan, because they do help with organization. Not a big fan of organization really either, but I figure it might be a good thing to work on. Maybe.

-I've done some writerly things. Like sending in submissions to lit mags. I've heard a few no's so far, but I have gotten another personal rejection. So maybe someone will bite. If not I know how the story needs to get edited, so I s'pose I can do that and re-send it to different places.




-I've visited Iowa State and signed all the paperwork so I am 100% officially going here:


 How beautiful is that?

-I bought a flight! I'll be flying to the Twin Cities on August 8. Then at some point after that I'll be driving down to Ames.

-Easter happened.

 We dyed eggs. Notice the TFIOS egg?

Harry apparently was not pleased. He looks like this a lot.


-I dyed my hair red. And I really like it!

The necklace was made by yours truly.


-I found a second roommate and have signed a lease to an apartment! It looks pretty cute, it's a 10 minute walk from downtown, a block from the bus stop, is very inexpensive, is in a small apartment complex (only 12 units, no undergrads) and has air conditioning. SWEET. Plus both roommates have cars. One is doing an MFA with me and has a dog and a cat (score!) and the other guy is a MA student in Lit.

  1. Love the hair! And yay for submitting places! I really liked submitting the snail mail way, just because it felt more like I was *doing* something. Haha.
