school & contests

I'm skipping school today. Woo! An excellent decision. I have a paper due in English 202 tomorrow that is worth 25% of my grade (eww), and if I hadn't skipped school, I would have had to write all of it starting at 10:00 tonight because I get out of work at 9.

In other news I have decided to enter three out of the four writing contests at URI this month (information). I'm entering the short story contest, poetry contest, and nonfiction contest (with a memoir). Definitely skipping the critical essay contest (blech! those are no fun). I have picked the short story I'm going to enter and the memoir, but remain undecided on which poems. I can submit up to 5 pages of poetry, so that could be around two long poems or a bunch of short poems or or or I don't know. Anyway. Yay! I'm already starting to get nervous about it, but oh well, I could use some nervousness about something that actually matters, instead of the usual senseless panic (along the lines of "Oh no, what if I get attacked by ravenous wolves today?").
