feature, future, feets-hurt

My Publishing program has ended and I feel older, wiser and certifiedier. Now when I see ripped magazines, I know in my heart that I am certified to fix it. I mean, I now have the documentation to publish anything. AND I MEAN ANYTHING! including... oh yeah.... community newsletters (reow!)

Well, I'm not quite certified yet. I have a dreaded 2,000 word feature article to write by Friday and have barely touched it. I've been either far too busy or far too lazy (more the latter, honestly). I feel my brain is slowly melting away. My mother is right in saying being out of school kills your brain, I guess. I was recently enamored by the fact that this chick wrote "qualms" in her blog. It's not a particularly good word or even that interesting, but for whatever reason it made me feel self-conscious. Would I have used qualms? COULD I have used qualms? It's a qualm, really.

Anyway, so after Friday, my Summer will officially begin, I guess. well, I mean, technically it began a month ago, but now I won't have the guilt of that dreaded feature article looming about. I'm back to the same ol' job until Fall which is bothersome. I guess there's this unreal expectation that once you go through school that life will miraculously change thereafter. YOU TRICKED ME ASIAN ELDERS! YOU SAID CONTINUED STUDIES WOULD FULFILL ALL MY LIFE'S HAPPINESSES! However, I am going to be doing an internship at a publishing company in the Fall for nearly 2 months. That's kind of exciting.

Okay, resolution to keep blogging to keep the mind active. I am officially mid-twenties-ish, so while the hips are creaking and the fat is settling, my mind shall remain active.

Harry Potter night tonight. I'm a movie-fan, but not book-fan. Horrible, I know
