I am in the Library
Bloody finals week. For days everyone I know seems to have been struggling with evil monster zombie papers that actually want to suck my poor Reedies' brains out. Horrid things. I gave my guests a tour of the Reed campus, prompting the following exchange:
Guests: "Your library is so pretty! What delightful architecture!"
Reedies: "I am forced to spend every waking hour in the library. It is hell."
I suppose it will be over soon. If only Renn Fayre wasn't so fun we'd have a lot easier time getting back into work and not feeling resentful. I have some short papers to write for Narrative and Description and a lot of artwork to do for my print class; not so bad, I just need to get organised to do it.
Oh, about the guests. Cat is another visitor from my dear home town of Huddersfield, she flew over to visit me before I leave and then is heading south to see Becca at UC San Diego. Lydia is a good friend from an unconnected source- I know her from UEA but she's been doing this study abroad thing in Roanoke, Virginia all year. Kind of weird that my two friends that don't know each other should both be here at the same time, but I like them both a lot and they don't seem to hate each other so everything is peachy. I've been showing them various chunks of Portland, it's mostly just been great catching up. Oooh, awesome dance party Friday night: Transformal, at which there was some good rave-style music in sync with 80s kids cartoons projected on the walls (Transformers, hence the name, plus Spiderman, Reboot, The Land Before Time...).
