Also I Didn't Have to Work Today

 Things That Have Made Today Rock:

1)  I am actually being useful and productive and getting all my work done, including a Stats problem set (which is killing me omg) and a reading response on the porn we're reading this week in Victorian lit.

2)  Got my first short story workshopped in Fiction today. I got a lot of very good constructive criticism from my class and I'm excited about revising the story before I post it here. And the workshop letter my professor gave me was glowing - like, I have no words for how flaily I am about this letter. She basically told me (along with some solid suggestions on flaws in the story I could fix) that my writing is amazing and awesome and I have to stay in the CW program forever. She also recommended that I apply for a Levinthal tutorial (which is a program where you work one on one for a semester with a Stegner Fellow), which I am seriously considering.

3)  Hanjuuluver is here! She's spending the night in my dorm before we take the train up to San Francisco tomorrow to go to Yaoi-Con. There will be hijinks. :D

Welcome To Yaoi-Con

So Hanjuuluver and I are safely ensconced at the hotel with our wristbands and our name badges and our programs and our Bag O Groceries. Our trip to San Francisco was uneventful - apparently her travel mojo is strong enough to negate my extreme travel fail. So yay for that. Tonight we're going to the opening ceremony and the charity auction, and checking out the video room. This is tomorrow's itinerary: 

9am - 10am: shopping for yaoi goodies (including a stop at Jo Chen's dealer table OMG OMG)
10am - 11am: Panel on Doctor Who/Torchwood
11am - 12pm: Panel on writing gay sex
12pm - 1pm: Panel on getting published/panel on Saiyuki (we're splitting up)
2.30pm - 3.30pm: Makoto Tateno signing (I have my first and fourth volumes of Yellow to get signed!)
3.00pm - 4pm: Yaoi Madlibs
4pm - 6pm: AMV Contest
6.30pm - 8.30pm: Cosplay Contest
9pm - 11pm: Writing Contest

Also at some point we will probably try to eat food or something. And Sunday is looking similarly packed, with the White Day Brunch, the Small Fandoms Panel, the Supernatural Panel, and the Slash in Comics Panel. So I will not be around online at all after tonight til I get home Sunday evening. But be assured we are having awesome hijinks and great fun, which I will duly report when I get back. :D :D :D

ETA: Who was sitting in the seat in front of me at the opening ceremony? JO CHEN, THAT'S WHO. *flails*
