I Need a Victory Fanfare

Or a theme song. I'll take either.

The reading went quite well yesterday. I was pretty nervous, but it's done. All the practicing sort of paid off. I still tripped over my words a bit and read too fast, but no one seemed to notice. That or they were being nice. Halfway through the reading I also got something stuck in my throat, which was quite annoying because I couldn't get enough air in to read. I think in any other circumstance I would have started laughing. Heard some great readers yesterday though. The amount of readers in the higher levels shocked me though. There were so few! At any rate, it was a fairly good time.

The party at the Auburn Saloon after was the best part though (they most certainly weren't expecting about 70 poets and writers last night). I'm going to miss our class. thankfully most of them are planning to sign up for Fiction II next year, so I'll see at least some of them again. Had a good time, talked a lot, drank beer, ate food, signed chapbooks, watched a dude pee on the side of the building right outside our window and ran around in Olympic Plaza for a bit. Good times.

I probably won't be able to write until Monday night, which saddens me some. Going to be studying for the 16th Century Literature exam...which is on Saturday...in the middle of the day. One must ask why. Sunday I'm volunteering at the Calgary Comic expo (come visit me! I'll be at admissions in the morning and on "Floor 4" in the afternoon, even though I don't really know where and what floor 4 is...). Monday I have my History exam and an interview with a prof.

So yeah. Here's a Nostalgia Chick video:



Because I felt like it.
