Ten months of two thousand and nine

Spring has a temper this year. It seems to have rained once a day for the last two weeks, with plenty of windy gusts and small doses of sunshine. I almost expect a tornado.

This month I have turned twenty-two. I like this age, it sounds pleasantly alliterative and has given me a nice enough week so far. It will soon be time for exams, but I am trying to ignore that for as long as I can. I made my own pasta a couple of days ago (it made me sore-backed and bleary-eyed) and am working on some creative writing for the application I have due in November.

I have also been watching a lot of Gossip Girl. I am trying to use it as material for my writing but really it is just addictive, a beautifully made and shameless soap opera. I now know how to download things off the internet. This makes the internet a lot more exciting than it was before.

I would like to release a zine at ZineFest in November. It will be different to the ones I have done previously. I am sort of hoping that if it gets a bit of momentum then it will be a good epicentre for future creative work. Not that I'll have a lot of time for that next year! I'm doing summer school, followed by Honours and completing my psyc major, followed by finishing my thesis next summer. Wow. Then it will be time for a holiday.
