From the newly-appointed TA...

As of Friday, I recently became a TA!!! I'm really, really excited about it, though a little afraid too, because I don't want to mess up and set my status backwards again. I had no idea it'd be so soon-okay, I'll be honest and admit that I knew it'd happen eventually-but I was so excited when it did! So funny though, because it happened like two days after Lauren (GinnyWeasleyPotter, CONGRALUATIONS, CONGRALUATIONS!!!) became one!!! I'm just telling everyone, because this will mean even quicker updates, since I won't have to wait a while for my turn in the queue.

I think I'm going to get "Written in the Stars" beta-ed, because I think it could be better. *wrinkes nose* Not that it's bad, but grammar mistakes are becoming pet peeves of mine, and I think I owe only la creme de la creme to my readers, right? ;-) (I think that nearly finishes all the phrases I can say in French-well, I can introduce myself, though!).

Anyway, I have too much to do today, so I probably won't be able to write, but after I finish "Chapter six" of "Lost and Found", I'll be posting "Chapter four". A lot of people have to catch up and r&r the last few chapters, so that will be good for them, anyway. I'm not in the mood to write today, dunno why-strange mood!!! I think I'm mad at myself for not looking over "Written in the Stars" further. It's not my reviewers' fault-I'm glad you liked it in spite of everything, it's ME!!! But don't worry, I shall like it after the technical parts are fixed, so no one has to convince me otherwise. The reviews were helpful.

Also, as of 5 on Thursday (in the afternoon) and sometime mid-Sunday, I'll be driving (well, my parents will technically be) to Los Angeles to visit my aunt and uncle for the weekend. Since I live in AZ, though it will be a long drive, I'll be able to make it. I'll try to get on the internet sometime though, with my laptop, and I'll definitely be able to write a lot in the car-no internet access there, but lots of Microsoft Word power!!! Oh, and don't forget my trusty I-pod. Sometimes, driving trips can be fun-tedious, but fun. And I'll be sure to bring lots and lots of books (too bad I'm such a fast reader though...)!!!

I'll be waving to you, since I know you live in CA, Lauren!!! J/K (obviously, SINCE I AM NOT A STALKER AND WILL NOT COME TRACKING YOU DOWN, DON'T WORRY!!! :D). Have you ever been to Arizona before, though? Just curious. And also, if there were specific parts you wanted to (anyone) comment that my grammar or spelling was off, feel free to tell me where. :-) Maybe I'll get my mom to look over it, to save the beta trip. Though it's kind of weird, so not sure...I'm divided.

XOXOXOXOXXOOXOX (and thanks for reading!), Mara
