Update

So I'm officially an MFA student. And I love it! I'm only taking three classes so that I can really focus on them, and I love them all. I was recently made co-editor of Vulcan magazine and reader for RipRap. I'm applying for jobs and volunteer work, and I'm freaking out about my writing. What I really need to do is just sit down and write. I've had a lecture from a couple of professors warning me to concentrate more on writing than on literature. Of course, I'm totally in to my lit classes, so I'm just going to work really hard on all three. Here are some event updates for your enjoyment. Hope to see you there!

Thursday 9/11/08 (tomorrow)- Welcome Week. I'm be at the F.O.R.C.E. table answering questions, signing autographs, you know. Come visit.

Saturday 9/13/08- Gerry Locklin etc. reading from 7-10pm 235 Hill St. Santa Monica

Thursday 9/18/08- faculty reading in the ballrooms at 7

Wednesday 9/24/08- Fried and Mohr reading at Casa Romantica. casaromantica.org. I haven't seen Fried read in a while, and I hear it's a nice place.

Friday 9/26/08- The most important one- I'LL BE READING!!!! Come see the MFA kids read at It's a Grind 2010 Carson from 7 to 11. I expect to see you all there.

Saturday and Sunday 9/28-29/08 Studio Benefit Readng- ask me for details on this one. I don't know if I really want to go, it's more about poetry, and really weird guy invited me. I'm not too eager to meet him.

And that's it for September! I'll update you with October things when the time comes. Remember to come to my reading. No, no, I'll remind you. I'm really excited. =)
