Between Lunch and Poetry

Goodness, what happened to March?

I’m waiting to head off-campus for a poetry party (yes, that’s a real thing that happens), so I figured I should fill in some of the life gaps I’ve been creating lately. So here’s what’s up.

1) I moved. Yep. Out of residence and into a little apartment that I am deeply happy with. I don’t feel at all settled, which is messing with my remembering skills, but I’m sure organization – and furniture – will come with time. I had many incredible friends to help me move, assemble my bed, and take me to Ikea. I’m SO grateful. Also, packing sucks. So does unpacking.

2) It’s the last week of classes. My cohort is finishing their coursework as we speak, and headed into graduation or thesis wrap-up. I’m too deep in denial to feel sad about this, but I’m sure it’s coming. I’ve been so happy here – I don’t want things to change. Which leads us to item 3.

3) I’m taking a third year. I don’t feel at all done with my degree, so I’m sticking around for some more creative writing goodness. I feel okay about this.

4) I’m employed. As of this week, I’ve picked up a summer gig with Bard on the Beach, a big Shakespeare Festival here in Vancouver. I’m really pumped about this development. I’ll keep you posted on how it all shapes up.

That’s the gist of things at the moment. I was also in a play with Brave New Play Rites, and have been madly writing papers and marking papers and being inundated with papers. It feels like I’m spinning a lot of plates, but I don’t seem to mind.

It’ll all work out. It always does.
