Two more weeks of my undergraduate career! I'm very excited/stressed/relieved, and looking forward to summer. I also wrote a couple half-poems at work today (the first time I've written any poetry since January!). Both are going to be part of a chapbook that I hope to have finished by the end of the summer (as well as another chapbook). So I'm hoping to have two full chapbooks done by mid-August to distribute among friends. It feels good to be writing poetry again. I've been so bogged down from this semester; I feel so much lighter when I write.
I also signed the lease yesterday to my new apartment in Bowling Green! I am very excited/terrified to be out on my own for the first time (not to mention 2.5 hours away from everyone). But I have the whole summer to enjoy everyone's company before I'm thrust into isolation/grad school. I took a few photos of the place with my mom's phone camera. I couldn't fit the entirety of the rooms in the frame of the tiny lens so they're actually bigger than they look. But either way, I posted the photos below. Already starting to think about how to decorate. :D I'm excited because it seems ridiculously cheap for how much is included/how close it is to campus. Not to mention, I won't even need to have a job next year because of the teaching assistantship stipend, which I am very happy about. It will give me more time to concentrate on writing, teaching, reading, etc.
Umm more exciting plans for the summer--getting a tattoo (possibly multiple), going on a mini road trip on an undetermined route if I have the money for it, growing vegetables, and lots of reading/writing.
(I just noticed how many parentheses, hyphens, and slashes I use in my blog posts. Not really sure why I do that.) Anyway, I hope to see many of you (whoever actually reads this thing) as well as all of my other friends before I move away in August. Hope all is well with everyone!
