It's Been Awhile

I apologize for my long absence. I've been a busy girl! I just finished my play for Playwriting class and that has been exhausting me this week. Now all I have left are a lab, 3 papers for CAP, two tests to study for and a presentation to put together. All due next week!

I'm really excited about finishing all of these academic burdens and doing something fun for a change! Springfest starts 2 weeks from now and my team Cool Runnings is ready to compete. Also the Verbal Arts Festival is fast approaching and I will be performing in one or two plays chosen from my class. The Alchemist Review is set to be released at the festival. The Alchemist Review is a 30-year literary tradition at UIS, published each April and celebrated at the annual Verbal Arts Festival. All UIS students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to share their creative writing projects. To prepare students for further publishing success, those guidelines reflect those of other peer-reviewed journals. Yours truly will have a short essay published in it!

Sorry this blog isn't mind blowingly exciting. Spring Break and Easter were pretty uneventful... I found 20 bucks in my closet when I went home... that was cool. Updates coming soon featuring Spring Fest and The Verbal Arts Festival.
