Sunday, April 09, 2006 - More Clarion App Angst

I was asked yesterday, by someone who has been accepted into this year's Clarion Workshop, if I had received an email confirmation from Clarion, acknowledging receipt of my application. Err...no. So, now it looks like there might be a possibility that they never even received my application. Rejection would suck, but this would suck even more. As you can imagine, I'll be watching my mailbox more closely than ever this week and, if I don't have a response by the end of the week, I suppose I'll email them to see if they ever got my app.

In the meantime: Essay! It's not going very well at the moment, given my level of distraction. Oh well, I'll have something ready to turn in tomorrow afternoon. It might not be any good, but it'll get me a passing grade.

Also in the meantime: Obviously, my writing is on hiatus for the moment until I get my schoolwork out of the way, but my alternate history story is coming together nicely. I'll leave you with this little bit...

In our teacher-guided orientations in eleventh grade, we all got to go back and punch Hitler in the face. We got to sit in front of Gandhi and eat lunch. We got to tell the Pilgrims that atheism and casual sex were all people were into anymore. Talk about making history fun, right?

Eventually, though, someone has to lose an eye.
