Interview + MV + War Eagle

So, I had an admission interview with a Columbia alumnus a few days ago. It was probably one of the more surreal experiences of my life. The guy didn't know what he was talking about half the time (he told me that Auburn University is the Columbia of its area), and he took the most bizarre notes on the interview. Like, he asked what instrument I played, I said clarinet and alto sax (he, like everyone else, grasped onto the "alto sax" part), and so he asked me if I knew who "the greatest alto sax player in the world" was. I said no, and he told me Cannonball Adderly, the guy who played with Miles Davis. He asked me if I had heard of Miles Davis, I told him yes, so he asked what instrument Miles Davis played. I said trumpet, and he was like, "That's right, trumpet," and wrote Miles Davis - trumpet on his sheet of notes. What the fuck does that have to do with my admission into Columbia?

Then he would do this funky eye bulging thing. I couldn't decide if it was a good thing or a bad thing when he did it, so it just kind of freaked me out the whole time. Yeah.

And then he was trying to convince me that there were plenty of other schools in New York I could apply to. (He seemed to think that I was dying to go to a school in New York, even after I said that being in the middle of the city was not my cup of tea.)

The admissions people from Columbia are weird. So basically I'm going to Auburn because the Columbia admissions people apparently have a grudge against Harry Potter and don't want me to go to their school. =/

In other news, I'm rewriting Malignant Virtues. Except I'm working my way backwards through it instead of starting at the beginning, so I can't decide if I want to go ahead and replace the files in my gallery as I do them, or if I want to wait until I finish all of them, and then do two or three at a time.

Hmmm....

I do have to say that the new versions are completely slaughtering the old ones, and I'm excited to be redoing them. I've been wanting to fix a few things for a while, and some of it seemed too jumpy and fast-paced. So I'm slowing it down a bit and making the whole thing flow a little better, hopefully. That's the goal, anyway.

Sorry to hear that Malignant Virtues is on hiatus, is my favorite story so far, even though I haven't had time to read it lately. I apologize for not commenting either, your writing is awesome and it will always be :) A Gathering of Angels sounds great! *will read*
