Fall break plans and The Round Table

Only one more week until break…I am so excited. As much as I love Beloit, I really am in need of a trip back home (the full hour drive, how will I ever survive?) And I need to see my Madison friends. And take a walk down State Street. And I need a day where I can sleep in and not feel like I should be doing work of some sort. And a home cooked meal. And a meal at my favorite Indian restaurant where the waiters know me. And a trip to the bank. As you can see, I REALLY need a break.

Things here are….busy, to say the least. I have a ton of work due on Wednesday, but once I am done with that I am practically done for a week! Three of my four classes got canceled on Friday, which means I can leave a bit early then originally anticipated.

I am a published author! Granted it is only in the school newspaper, The Round Table. I wrote an article last semester for my journalism class on mediation, and this semester my professor suggested I submit it to The Round Table. I did, and today when I opened the paper, there it was. I have not read it yet. I feel so weird about it. I spent all this time on crafting my article, researching for it and conducting interviews, and of course writing it. Now it is laid bare for all who choose to read it. It is an interesting feeling.
