NaNoWriMo... and other things.

I've decided that I'm going to participate in this year's National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for "short"). Basically, you have 1 month (November) to write a 50,000 word (or roughly 175-page) novel. This seems natural, perhaps, because I am an aspiring novelist, but what you might not know is I'm a chronic procrastinator. So that really throws a wrench into things. According to my calculations, I would have to write about 6 pages a day every day this month... plus all the homework that comes with being an Honors freshman at BGSU. I guess I'll just have to give it my all, and if I don't finish in time, I can always keep working on it for later use. :)
Anyway, I can't believe it's already November! It seems like I haven't lived at BG long, but it's already been over 2 months. My roommate, M., has been awesome-- way better than I could've expected. We've actually turned out to be pretty good friends. :) We have to start scheduling for Spring Semester soon, and decide where and with whom to live next year, so that's been pressure... but overall, college life has been treating me well! :D
Anyway, I should get working on today's 6 pages, so write you later!
