Refreshing for a journal update

I'm still working hard on 30_kisses fic! This post is to remind myself which ones I've completed and the prompts I still need to do.

( Full Metal Alchemist, Ed/Russell )

( Space Cases, Harlan/Radu )

When I look at it all laid out like this, there's still SO MANY LEFT.

This was an assignment for one of my graduate classes this semester. We got to practice ethnographic coding and analysis on any source we chose. Naturally, being the fangirl that I am, I picked Science Fiction movies.

(I broke up some of the block text so it's in a slightly different format than how I turned it in)

“For the Greater Good”: Themes of Life and Death in Science Fiction

“They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better.” --Captain Malcolm Reynolds, Serenity.

“You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created.” --Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica.

( WARNING for 3 pages worth of writing )

Wow, okay. Just realized I haven't posted for a few months!

Just wanted to post some videos of Titanic: The Musical because I've been reminiscing again and because it ended up being one of the top five highest grossing shows in our company! It's a good feeling.

Our TV spot:

And the song that always makes me cry (the BF's solo at :45)


One of the professional pics:


Next audition: The Music Man! (for the third time!)

Happy New Year everyone!

Even-numbered years tend to be awesome ones for me and so this time, I have made a New Year resolution for the first time in ... I can't even remember.

GRAD SCHOOL.

Aiming for Fall '13 at UC Davis in Archaeology, emphasis in historical especially Gold Rush era California. It's my favorite :D

My second choice is Sacramento State, just in case, I hope it doesn't come to that because I really love Davis :D

So, my to-do list is quite scary:

- Three letters of recommendation (two lined up so far but I have not asked yet)
- A writing sample (not sure if I can use one from my current project since it has two names on it)
-Graduate Record Examination scores (DAMN YOU GRE I think this will be the most difficult part)
- Statements of purpose and research interests (oh man I don't even know where to begin)
- Curriculum vita (easiest part aside from the following...)
- Academic transcripts

Deadline for all these is January 15 (except for the transcripts which are December 15)

ONE YEAR TO PREPARE... and I know it is going to fly by.

Not actually too worried about writing a thesis since winning Nano, so yay!

I wish I could go back to college?

ICANDOITICANDOITICANDOIT.

So. Yesterday, this happened:



I WON!! TWO DAYS EARLY, EVEN!!

50,223!

Of course, it's mostly crap and isn't even a completed story (there's no ending) but I ACTUALLY FINISHED NANOWRIMO FOR ONCE.

Letting it sit for December and then the editing process begins in January!

The article I co-wrote for the SCAs this past summer is available online!

The Commune Era of Olompali: Challenging our Assumptions of the Hippie Lifestyle

(It's an online PDF file, just fyi)

My first paper, I'm very excited and hopefully it will get some responses :D
