I got a watch on my wrist.

Just got back from my final Creative Writing class with Karen Joy Fowler.

I really, really loved her class. She was a very nurturing CW professor.

I had her sign my book.

That's my new thing for today - I have never had a professor sign their book, and it was strange - not like other book signings. She wrote that it was a pleasure to work with me.

And I was really glad to hear that. I would take a picture of that, but I think it's cooler if I keep it between her and me. But, of course I had to blog about it!

Of course I had to.

change your mind!

My section leader told me I was a brilliant student.

I liked that a lot, but I couldn't figure out why - I was walking with her over to family student housing because I couldn't find a book I wanted to use for my paper at the library. And she just said it.

Nice of her, really.

Also, a new thing: no section leader (TA?) has ever called me brilliant.
