More Random Musings

I hate putting up posts to toot my own horn, but I'm still reeling from a high compliment last night. I thought I'd stick it up here and share, since it also paid some compliments to my friends.
Apparently, Dr. Chute thinks the Cardinal & Cream will have one of its greatest years when my class is in charge.
Woohoo for this year's freshmen! Dr. Chute pointed out my stuff, Kyle Kurlick's, and Cynthia Medina's, as well as hoping we could get my roommate Derek to contribute SOMETHING at some point; he went on to mention that the freshman class has brought in other talented writers.
So here's to 2007-08, C&C freshmen! Woohoo!!
I don't know if it's just having been thinking about Europe lately or if it's something else, but last night I had a dream that I was back in Russia. Well, it wasn't really about that (my dreams typically ramble on with even less sense than my conscious trains of thought), but it included me being in a restaurant down the street from the Kazan cathedral.
And, much as I fell in love with Bangkok, I'm starting to itch for Petersburg again. No offense to Asia, but I'm pretty sure I'm called to the other side of the landmass.
Production night went really well last night. I was actually out at a reasonable hour with things in good shape (assuming we didn't do more reformatting... I'll hope). I had some article-bumping, so this issue only had one of my articles in it, but it has my assistant editor byline, so I'm happy. We also got applications for next year's edit board. Apparently, it's good if one applies for at least two positions, so I put my name in for A&E editor (since Nic's going for a higher office next year) and copy editor. Tonight, I have work and then Commedia dell'Arte rehearsal, plus a little Writing for Mass Media homework to finish. Things aren't too busy (they're just... crowded into a few hours), so life is good.
Plus, as a random quote of the day:
"Only he is free to express his views who is not afraid to write stupid things."
--Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Off to World Civ now. :-)

So, just wondering, while you were in Russia, did they speak Russian? 'Cause whenever I dream I'm in a foreign country, they always speak their native language, I just can understand it ... of course, I also dream I'm a dragon pillaging the countryside and then getting killed by two knights on horses in shining armor while trying to take a nap after my big day ... so I guess that rules out my dreams being 'normal' ...

Well, there were other Americans in the dream, so we were all speaking English, but, as I recall - and it's funny how you can remember all the minute details of one glimpse of a dream but not any of the context (probably because the context is illogical) - there were people speaking in (at least what seemed to me) Russian, and there were Cyrillic characters scrolling by on a television. ;-)

ah, so I guess my dreams aren't all that wierd ... I feel much better now. My dreams are very real, except for, of course, that parts that aren't ...
