the reading went well last night. i was really impressed with all the talent that we have in our mfa program. all of the poetry, fiction, and non-fiction pieces that were read were very good. both alisha and dennis came to see me read. i have fabulous friends.
i finally heard fiction pieces from both gil and lori, which i enjoyed. michi read a non-fiction that she had written about buying a bike in boston that was really funny. the final reader, who i don't know personally but i guess she's graduating in a week, read a non-fiction piece about how her sister reclaimed the word "porkchop". She included uses such as, "Does this make me look porkchop-y" and "Man, that was a porkchop move." We were all laughing our asses off.
After the reading, Alisha and i took a cab to rockbottom where we both enjoyed a dinner of macaroni 'n cheese. i also got peach sangria that was yummy. other than having to lug the stupid oyez sign all around downtown chicago and the fact that we had to wait quite some time for the blueline on the way home, it was a great evening.
now i'm on page 4 out of 6 on my final paper for this semester. i'm going to feel so great after this paper is done. only then will my winter break actually start.
