So, I finished a project today. A couple months ago, I set out to get myself acclimated to the novel-with-chapters format. Twelve chapters later, I just finished.

This is me right now:



ETA:

I originally had a big entry in the works about my adventures playing Hipster Bingo in my music theory class. That's sidelined, however, for this news:

I'm the new fiction editor for the literary magazine of the University of New Mexico, Conceptions Southwest.

An editor. I thought I was just going to be on staff, but I'm an editor, which is certainly a very nice feather in my cap. Now I just need to prove that I'm deserving of such a big responsibility. It's certainly going to be a load of work, but I'm so excited to start this and show everyone that I'm going to be good at my job, and certainly up for this. I'm going home tomorrow to pick up a bunch of editing books from my dad to brush up.

Bring it.

(But not right at this very moment, as I am writing two papers, re-writing a third, and studying for two tests for the coming week. Eh-heh. I should probably get used to that.)

Holy CRAP. I just got this message on Facebook:

Hello Colleen,

How creepy it must be to get a message from a stranger! I apologize if this out-of-the-blue message freaks you out a bit at first, but you’ll understand the logic behind it once you finish reading it.

My cousin, Jackie Maloney, from Long Island mentioned that she had an old friend transfer to UNM. I asked for your name in order to look up your Facebook profile and see if we have run into each other. Jackie read a few of your notes and praised your writing skills and sense of humor, so I became interested to see who you are. I skimmed your most recent note and also love the way you portrayed your hit-and-run date proposal experience.

Since you’re new to the UNM campus and may be looking for activities, I thought suggesting UNM’s fine art and literature magazine, Conceptions Southwest, might be worth a try. Based on the interests you highlighted in your profile and on your pages and posted items, it seems safe to assume you have an interest in writing, grammar and art. CSW is the place to use your talents. It’s an annual publication open to all UNM students, staff, faculty and alumni. I’m the editor of the 2009 issue and am currently rounding up a staff. From the looks of things, you have much to offer as a staff member, and I would be delighted if you’d pick up an application in Marron Hall room 107 or drop by and see me in the CSW office Marron Hall room 225. I’m in the office from 9-12 MWF and 11-1 TR. Even if you feel like you have a full schedule and are unable to make a big commitment, I’d encourage you to submit to CSW this fall. If you are interested and would like more info, visit the Web site (which desperately needs to be re-designed) www4.unm.edu/csw or contact me.

I hope you are less freaked-out now and look forward to your reply.

Jennifer

I cannot believe that I was just offered the opportunity to work on the campus literary magazine. Somebody actually took the time to track me down, read my stuff, and decide that they want me to apply for a job. That drive-by date story was hardly even my best work.

SOMEBODY CARES.
