I have to take the FTCE this weekend, which I'm a little nervous about. Hopefully it will be ok, I get my results back pretty quickly. I'm taking it in Sarasota which means I'll be out of the apartment all weekend. I think my roommates are excited about the prospect of quiet for a few days. I come home on Sunday and then I fly out again on Wednesday, I should probably put together the times I'm flying, this would be helpful for the future. I have a ton of ESOL work to get in, and I wanted to get my genre project and the presentation due on the 24th for Psych in the final stages before I fly out. I want to try to not have anything hanging over my head for the 5 days I'm out of town.
Markus Zusak was amazing last night. He talked about the importance of chapter headings, which I was really appreciative of because I sometimes feel like my outlines are too rough. He was incredibly sweet, he signed my book and took a picture, which I'll post up when I get a chance. Courtney and T had a really good time, and we learned that it's really hard to eat fast food in the dining room after 10 at night. We really wanted to go to Emily's restaurant but it took forever to get through the Zusak line because everyone was regaling him with tales. He was such a kind-hearted guy he didn't want to cut anyone off. If the event was run by a larger company the signing would've gone completely different. I told him I didn't think I would ever get to meet him because he's usually pretty stationary in Australia and he told me he was glad that he got to meet me. Everyone in the line awww'ed over that.
