Aimee, I'm so sorry you had to give the kitty up, and don't know how you could have come to a different decision.
vw, toward how much of your total grade does your lab grade count? Toward how much of your lab grade does this one lab count?
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I just finished my rough draft.
It's a strange feeling, at once triumphant and bereft. And I feel like the real work is still to come--editing it until it's the best I can make it, querying agents and editors, in general doing all I can to find it a home.
But I did it. I've written two books. That's something, right?

That's fantastic, Susan. I can't even imagine how many people have just one book percolating for their entire lives.
Congratulations. Best wishes on shopping it around, too.

I bought some shoes today.
So yes, it is definitely something. It is a big fat AMAZING something, which shows dedication and talent far beyond the majority of the populace.

Getting ready to go home. I'm kinda uneasy about it.

I'm not sure of the entire breakdown, but it looks like this was 10 points out of 587. Actually, now that I look more carefully, it was 10 out of 587 lab points, which is 40% of my grade. So, yeah, I guess not so much.
That's something, right?
That's HUGE!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw, Gud. I remember that feeling so well. Wish I could do something to make this easier for you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Katie, I'm sorry. I didn't see your post before. I hope the interview went beautifully, they realize what an asset you'll be. They'll hire you and in a few weeks realize they can't operate efficiently without you, and they'll make your position permanent, full time, with benefits. That they'll make you feel valued and wanted for your skills and your talents, and that you're plenty attractive enough to grace any office they have. And that you won't have to wear hose and nasty hurty shoes and stupid clothes.
I wish we all could be valued for the job we do, the skills we have, the abilities we bring, rather than the preconceptions offered up by our first impression and outward appearances. Lots of very pretty people would be on the street with tin cups. And lots of ordinary looking people would be happily employed.
All the best to you, darling girl.
