The blog has its name for a reason. I am between places--neither overbooking myself to earn an undergraduate degree anymore nor pursuing grad school pipe dreams, neither writing the next good (or great or bad) novel nor working a full-time job.
To further exacerbate this problem, I also feel in between people. I am ever-envious of the indomitable Petra, who not only managed to stay at BYU for all of her college experience, but who now gets to jaunt around Indonesia at least three times a week. (Granted, she's also teaching English to a bunch of Indonesian high schoolers, something I covet and shy away from simultaneously . . .)
The people at church are nice, but we're not exactly on the same page life-wise. Not to mention the writing center colleagues, who had the nerve to not graduate and move on with their lives at exactly the same time I did. But who am I kidding? I can't hate them . . . they provided three semesters' worth of entertainment for the low, low cost of the occasional sugar high.
But On to the Title of My Post:
1. Reads The Pursuit of Happyness
2. Becomes all-too-familiar with the Department of Workforce Services, Monster.com, and
Craigslist. (Sidenote: when navigating around craigslist, it is highly recommended and not quite as detrimental to one's health to actually input the right location.)
3. Reads the first three novels of The Wheel of Time series
4. Contemplates writing Robert Jordan and Tor Publishing to request a uniformity of font style and size throughout the books. Decides against it.
5. Starts writing three novels, which (combined) equal a total of six sentences. Not even good sentences.
6. Stares at phone.
7. Plays soccer with a two-year-old who is better at it than she is. Said two-year-old (okay, he's not two yet, but it's practically February tomorrow!) also encourages her to learn ABCs and how to go to the potty by visiting the Sesame Street website. Occasionally wonders if she should giggle at the Sesame Street website so much . . .
8. Reads the Anne of Green Gables series, contemplates writing more of one of three novels. Decides against it.
9. Compulsively checks e-mail
10. Prowls around Blogger, posting comments under various punny pseudonyms

You should have written that letter to Tor Publishing. I bet they would have gotten a good laugh out of it.
