Just so you know we're still alive (Clarion) :

Here is the photo one of our students took at our Mysterious Galaxy signing last night. Today is the Last Day (snff!). We are workshopping *4* stories in the a.m. (through the rather clever expedient of having half the class read each of the 2 rewrites that came in, which ideally should make it take the same time as 1, but doubtless won't - however it does mean that no one had to read and prep crits for more than 3 - except us, of course...), and doing our last 2 individual conferences after lunch. So if the look in Delia's eye is a bit fevered, you know why. This afternoon we do laundry (for Mythcon) and pack - and tonight everyone brings the contents of their fridge to Kari's room, and we Party (and cry)!

[OK, I KNOW I FAILED TO UPLOAD THE PHOTO. JUST LOOKED AT THE TIME - GOTTA RUN TO BKFST/CLASS! Will attempt later, I hope.]

That capitalized outburst of startled urgency was happening on and off ALL week. XD! At least once a day, someone somewhere would look at the time and say "Oh! We're late for Fill-In-The-Blank!!" and the entire room would empty in the next five seconds. X3

But aren't fevered gazes a given with writers everywhere? :3?
