So much for not being productive, slash I'm writing a new story and hopefully I can do it in one week

It's 4:02 AM. I was lying in bed for a long time, trying to sleep and thinking about grad school, when I suddenly knew that I don't feel good about my second story in my portfolioo, that I can do better, and then while I lay there a story flashed into my mind very suddenly--a complete story, not just a word or a phrase or an idea I thought I liked, which is usually the case. First I had the first line, and then I had everything that happened after that, and for once it was an actual story, a succession of events that take place. I can't remember the last time that happened when I didn't feel like I had to force it.

So now, here I am writing frantically, and starting to feel frack tired. If I can pull it together in a week, I can send it to Irvine.

I know I have that backup (which in fact, had that sneaky 2nd personal statement not been a factor, would have been my application and would have already been sent in to the school of my dreams), but here I am writing, and hoping that perhaps this story might be better. I think it could.

Anyway, I have exactly a week. I'm going to try. If you happen to be done with finals and/or bored, I would give you almost anything to read for me.
