Sara Jameson and I have both been accepted to present at CCCC in March in New York. We just found out this morning. This is very exciting, and also very scary. We’re both presenting at TYCA-PNW in a month (holy cow, it’s only a month away). This is great, I guess. I’m ecstatic. Elated. Excited. Why do all those words start with E? I hardly feel worthy of presenting at these conferences, or talking about what I think I know at all. It’s been great collaborating with Sara on this – both of presentations have to do with blogs – and talking to her a lot. I just feel…overwhelmed right now. School hasn’t even started yet, but I have a thesis to write, two conferences to prepare for, classes I’ll be taking, working as a GTA in the WIC program, working at the Pride Center doing media stuff and other tasks, working with LGBT services on campus for their CAS assessment, doing stuff as the social director for the Rainbow Continuum, blogging and trying to stay up on my journaling, running the poetry slam in downtown Corvallis, applying to PhD programs (hopefully), taking the GRE (again, ugh). When will I find time to sleep this year?
