Last week was definitely interesting. It was definitely a series of ups and downs for me. Wednesday we had another Author's Society meeting which was presided over by Gavin. I thought he did a great job keeping us all on task. I even liked the writing exercise he gave which entailed each of in attendance writing an Anti-Valentine's Day story using a word that was given to us by another member. We had two new people come and I hope that they are interested. Most of the current members are not showing up and pretty much the only faithfuls are me, Katie, Gavin, Emilia, Ashely, Josh, Brandon, and Travis. Everyone else claims to be too busy and I hate that excuse because I'm managing just fine with all the stuff I have to do. People do what they want to do. How hard is it to put aside an hour and a half a week to meet?
Sybil Baker had me preside over class in lieu of her absence on Thursday. She, Dr. Jackson, Gavin, Trenna, Emilia, Adam, and Katie all went to Chicago for the AWP Conference. So I basically divided the seven of us that showed up for class into prose / poetry groups. The prose group drafted a rejection letter for submissions that we did not choose to go into this year's Sequoya Review, and the poetry group brainstormed a list of things that would like to see on the Sequoya Review's website. Overall, I think it all went well. We readjourned and went over what we all had and then I let them go.
V-Day was uneventful. I stayed home, cleaned house and did the laundry. I did go play video games with Clif for awhile and then came back home.
This week started off okay. Schools were out for President's Day so I didn't go to CSAS.
