Ink Blots goes WordPress! January 28, 2008

It’s been a bit since last I logged on to Ink Blots, but I’m here (and on WordPress, no less!) to get you all caught up and to get a jump start on my adventures! To refresh and catch up and embrace this blank-ish slate (which is kind of eliminated, since WordPress let me import the Blogger posts, but go with me here), here’s an update:

I’m still here at school–college, excuse me!–sitting on my bed (herein referred to as the Pink Cloud of Despair), wondering what life is going to be like. Since we last chatted, I’ve declared a major in English and am flirting with a major or a minor in WGSS (women, gender, and sexuality studies for non-Richmondphiles. Scratch that. Most people.). And what shall I do with a B.A. in English, you ask (oh Ave Q!)? I shall be a fabulous editor in a very not Devil Wears Prada way. So, editing/publishing/writing…something of that sort, although everyone always has to comment on “writing the next great American novel”. I gave up my authoring aspirations in the fourth grade. Let’s move on, Dad.

I’ve also applied (yes!) to go abroad (double yes!) to London (squeal) during the fall, which is really why I’m back here and probably boring you all to tears. Tears that I hope will be punctuated by a few smirks and giggles. I really want to record my time there–and the rest of my career as an undergrad–so that when I look back on my years as a student, I can sort of, kind of, maybe remember what I did with myself. Whether or not that will happen, I can’t say, but that’s the aim, and that’s what you can look forward to (god willing, though I’m not a particularly god-fearing person. Oh, excuse me; God.) Here you’ll find rants and raves, ventings about a certain roommate who is currently in disgrace, though she doesn’t know it yet, reviews of things I love (like Juno and Dan in Real Life, both of which are fabulous movies that you all should go see. Now.), emotional criticisms of things I hate, and meaningless though often lengthy posts of the most random and thoroughly mundane nature.

Aren’t you excited?
