1.  German Woes.  I did not pass.  I’ll be retaking the exam in June…and possibly again in October.

2.  University Writing Award.  On the other hand, I won $750 for an essay that I wrote last semester.  At least I know I can write in English.

3.  Editing.  And I finished editing the story that has been hanging over my head for the past couple weeks.  Now I just have to write another one post-haste.  I have an idea, but it’s for something rather long, and I would be unpopular if I subjected my fellow workshop participants to anything more than twenty-five pages.  But I can’t help that I write long stories–I’m really a novelist at heart.
