What better to do?

It's 1AM, so what better to do than update the good old blog?

My four "almost papers" have somehow worked themselves into two full drafts and two "almost papers." Woot!

Here are some updates on the things that I do to fill up the unseemly blank spaces in my planner:

Summer Job-- I have a summer internship! And I am SO excited. I will be working as the Development and Literary intern for Circle X Theatre Company in Los Angeles. 

Scripps Newspaper-- In addition, I have just been offered the position of Co-Editor-in-Chief for the Scripps College Newspaper. Another Editor-in-Chief notch to add to belt! I'm really excited. I know this job will be incredibly challenging, but it's my last year at Scripps so I have to make it count! My friend Lauren will be the other half of what will be our dynamic duo, and she's completely amazing and I am so excited to be working with her on this! 

In other news, I bought a little dress today. I've decided to call it my "Traditional English Dress" because it's just about as "London" as a dress can get. It's black jersey to the waist and then it explodes into a full skirt made of a calico floral print of flowers and strawberries. It has an asymmetrical hemline and a black ribbon that ties into a bow at the waist. And yes, it's just as ridiculous as it sounds and I love it. 

That being said, today was my last trip to TopShop this time around. (I say this time around because I, of course, plan on coming back to London.) The place was a madhouse and my personal space was invaded by many an eager shopper with a bad dye job and an addiction to black eyeliner and facial piercings. Even if I weren't leaving in 10 days (!!!!) it would take me a while to build up the strength to venture back in there. Also, the shoe temptation is just too much to handle. (When I get home my father might actually be glad to hear that I want to go to Nordstrom after having to look at four months worth of credit card statements full of ugly sums that take full advantage of the crap exchange rate from £s to $s.)

My agenda for tomorrow includes finishing my Shakespeare paper and taking in a matinee showing of Spamalot with Jessica. 

I cannot wait to be done with these papers. Working on 4 at a time is an ugly business, let me tell you. But I really love what I'm writing on for all of them, so at least that's a plus.
