Since my parents redid our family room, the computer is now in a totally different area of the family room and sunlight is coming in off the patio doors and I can barely see the screen. This will not help to improve my typing.

Not too much to report since yesterday. I'm still working on my Magnum Opus for my Prose Fiction class, which is going admittedly much slower now that i can't actually see the computer screen. It's almost done, though--I just need a climax for the Margaret ATwood vignette, a T.S. Eliot vignette, and a Rhiannon vignette to close it out. I get to refer to myself as a talentless hack, which is just peachy.

Tonight I get to go out to a bush lot and roast hot dogs over a fire with my mom and the Girl Guides. I did the whole Guides thing (Scouts to those you in the US, and a variety of others things across the world) years ago--before dropping out after my second year of Pathfinders due to my disdain for the political concerns involved with being part of any organization that's entirely composed of women. I did come back, though, about two years ago, to be a leader for the Girl Guides, but I had to give that up when I went away to school. REgardless, I"m really looking forward to tonight, we're doing something of a mini-hike and we get to eat fire burnt hot dogs and it really doesn't get any better than that. Mmm, ashes.

And tomorrow, of course, at 9:45 a.m. I will be having my four wisdom teeth removed. Yeesh. I hope that goes well. At least mum won't be able to yell at me for not eating breakfast, since I can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight tonight.

The NUSU annual general meeting is tomorrow, too, so at the very least i should have some interesting stories to report when next I update.

I just finished re-reading Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time". What a neat book that is. I was given a copy for my tenth birthday, I think, and I was completely enthralled with it then. The sequels ("A Wind In the Door" and "A Swiftly Tilting Planet") are both excellent as well--very sophisticated for children's stories, both in terms of content and writing. Come to think of it, most of L'Engle's work is like that. Anyhow, if you're looking for some reading to do in the next couple months, I highly recommend reading these three.

T minus 50 minutes until my job interview.
