So, its been a really long week. Midterms and papers suck. But recent events overshadow all that to make it into one of the best weeks in recent memory.
After three years of losing elections, I was finally elected to the Masque Executive Board for next year as the VP Business Affairs...I've won very few elections in my life, always losing to people more popular than myself.
My story was workshopped this week in Cronin's class. I had thrown it together after having writers block for a month - it was based on a one paragraph story in USA Today. For some reason, Cronin loved the style and how well it meshed with the plot. He tore a lot of it apart, but he said some really great things about it - things that I didn't realize.
I then found out today that I had been rehired for next year as a CA in the townhouses, the exact placement that I had wanted. Its an incredible opportunity, with a great staff, and the end I wanted to put to this whole RA thing. I'd get into all of my thoughts on placement, but its a whole can of worms that I don't quite want to get to tonight...as I keep telling people, La Salle likes throwing curve balls.
I don't understand a lot of times why good stuff keeps happening to me...I don't want to seem guilty, or that I don't deserve what I've earned, but with a lot of this stuff, it just seems too good to be true. I'm not searching here for some deeper meaning; I just feel like I need to take praise better as it comes.
I'm heading home tomorrow for Spring Break. I have no plans, only hopes - one to go see tick...tick...boom! at the Mechanic, one to go into DC for the day, a hope to get caught up on my sleep.
More later from home.
