Okay, so the senior thesis reading was not nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be. The chairs didn't even form rows. Instead they were positioned in a big circle. So I didn't have to worry about 40 pairs of professors' eyes examining me as I read. And I didn't sound nervous when I read, so I'm a happy camper. Plus it was really cool to look up and see Leslie, Rose and my mom smiling back at me.

I helped a screenwriting guy present his thesis as well. (He read the action while a friend of screenwriting guy, cool screenwriting professor and I read for the characters) As I predicted, I felt awkward saying sexual things in front of my mother. The awkwardness was way compounded by the fact that my character's boyfriend was read by cool professor man. I wonder if the professors ever feel weirded out by having these sexual conversations with students.

I don't have to do too much work this weekend. I actually finished reading a book! I was rather excited since I've been reading it on and off all semester.

Sigh. What am I doing with my life? Where is it going? What exactly is it that God wants from me?

Am off to spend quality time with Matilda. I heart the kiddie Lit club.
