Prof. Woods

I think one of the main reasons I haven't lost complete faith in myself and jumped off a cliff while up here failing school and quitting my job and freaking people out, is my Creative Writing class. If you couldn't tell by the writing I post here, I love writing- and I put some effort into it.

A main reason I try so hard is to impress Ronald G. Woods, my Creative Writing professor and a man I think I agree with on almost everything. He has a dry sense of humor and we have the exact same taste in style and content. He has never censored my work or given me bad advice, and he has shown alot of interest in my academic future.

A recent series of emails has really gotten me thinking seriously about staying Provo and continuing my education. I don't know how much of me is flattered and how much of me is serious- he is a very intelligent man who honestly thinks I can do anything. He takes time out of his day to email me back and gives me very high praise.

Either way, I think living with Kristina would be fun this summer. And I have a shrink who I actually respect/isn't ridiculously "therapisty." Plus, I feel like I JUST GOT here! I was in Sacramento for 7 months and that felt like NOTHING, so 5 months here? After I just started making friends two weeks ago?

Bro. Woods told me I should go to law school.
I met a man.
I am going to apply at the Daily Universe.
I've been approached by five or six agents/photographers who "like my look" since I've lived here, and offer me auditions and jobs.

I think Provo is growing on me.
