Now that I'm almost finished with my thesis, I'm having a HECK of a time being able to find the right words. When it took me 30 minutes to write 3 sentences, I knew I was in trouble. So I decided to take a step back and leave it for now. The only bad part about that is I don't have much time... Every break I take is creating more and more of a crunch time for me. Ah, the dilemmas faced by writers. I used to think it was an occupation I would enjoy doing--writing. But when deadlines are fast approaching, the joy starts to fade and panic sets in.
I suppose I should let you know what exactly it is I'm writing for my thesis, since I constantly make references to it. My thesis:
In her novel, A House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros applies Chicana feminist theories to challenge the traditional, yet confining, Mexican literary archetypes of La Malinche and la Virgen de Guadalupe.
Sounds exciting, I know. I know most of you are dying to read it... ;)
Well, my job search has become extremely interesting. I interviewed in Pasco, and I'm waiting to see if things can be guaranteed regarding its full-time status. I should know by the end of Monday. If it can be guaranteed, I'll take it. If not, I'll have to keep looking. The joys of job hunting...
Miguel is getting excited for Monday. He 's going to a CSI Camp, where he gets to learn how to dust for fingerprints, make castings of footprints and tire tracks, recognize certain patterns in blood splatter... Exactly the kinds of things he loves! Plus, Monday is the day the Nathaniel and the rest of Derek Bagley's family are supposed to visit. I know it will be difficult for Miguel to sleep on Sunday night! So much excitement is on the horizon!
