Baaaah

The Board of Trustees meeting begins in approximately two hours and nine minutes.

Another night of flattery and adoration.

I wrote a poem the other day, and it's just average in my opinion, however there are some things about it that I really like. It's called Sonya's Song but I think I might change it to Song of Sonechka. It's on my page, posted in the cafe if anyone cares to read: www.writerscafe.org/seraphicdaffodil

Speaking of which, I am back and in action at the cafe (Writer's Cafe) and so far it's been great. Some good friends are still there, but one of my favorites has left and I'm still rather upset about that because I really liked him. I met him when I first joined the web site and gradually he become more like a father figure.

To my dear friend Markymark: I miss you and hope you're well :)

I don't have much to really say writing wise. My mind has been flooded with thoughts lately, to the point of insomnia. And currently I just am completely overwhelmed that I'm not as excited as I should be for tonight. Well, time for meditation.

Good morning world :)

Today is yet another rainy day. It has officially rained all seven days this week and I'm getting sick of it. Summer break has started and there's nothing like sunshine that screams summer. Question is, when will it come out from behind the dreary clouds?

I have some updates!

First and foremost, I've decided where I'm going to college: The University of Tulsa.

Second, I was accepted into The University of Iowa's Writers Dorm, only to then tell them I wasn't going to their school. The point is that if I got accepted into a selective writer's dorm and one of the most famous universities for writing, then that's a good sign.

Third, Senior Awards Night was Thursday night, the 13th. I received the French Scholarship, and well, it was a huge surprise and a huge honor. I actually started spilling tears everywhere like Miss America. Kind of embarrassing...

Fourth, the Poetry Awards Night/Dinner was Friday night, the 14th. I had such a wonderful time and the food was delicious. I requested a copy of the pictures, so I hope to receive those soon and I can post them. I received two awards; first for poetry at Wildwood and then first for drama in the district competition, held by Florissant Valley.

Fifth (okay I'm tired of the numbering), I find out the results of the national competition June 15th, which happens to be the day that I'll be flying to Washington. Awards here amount to $500. I really cannot imagine myself winning here. The one act I wrote that won in the district competition certainly isn't that good for nationals. The only thing that it has going for it is satire.

Next, Sycamore is coming out this week! Finally! There was a huge printing problem. The ink was way too light, so it was impossible to read. I am so, so, so excited to see it. I heard they tried to select pieces of art to complement the poetry and other works. Can't wait to see it!

This Wednesday I've been invited to the St. Louis Community College Board of Trustees meeting. They would like to "present me with a Certificate of Appreciation in honor of my exceptional achievement" (quoting from the letter). I don't know how formal this event is, but I do get an assigned seat according to the letter. I also don't know if I'm allowed to bring guests. I'd like to invite my parents, but if I have an assigned seat, then maybe there's no room for guests? Don't know, but after this blog update I'll be sending an email out requesting additional information.

And that appears to be all!

Goodness gracious, I think 2010 is definitely a good year :)
