So, I wrote a short story about a complicated relationship between a monster and its creator. I played around with formatting, too. Read it if you'd like and tell me what you think:

My first day of college was great. I didn't pay much attention to the shortlist results because I'm used to them. I went to my flat and back three times because of the large gaps in the schedule, which is really good for exercise. The classes were also fairly interesting as well. Lots of material for discussion for linguistic enthusiasts like me. My favourite part of the day was when we had British studies and were able to go on various interesting side tangents and stuff, from ethnicity to Tolkien. It helps that we're allowed to joke around with the professor. Really livens up the atmosphere. I talked a little bit with my classmates, too. That was nice. 
          
          So, yeah, great day.

Hey Mili! Congratulations on finishing your latest story. It feels like yesterday when we were discussing our respective books over here and I know how I looked forward to your input then. You've grown so much as a writer and student since then and I feel so proud of you!
          
          On another note, would you be willing to help me with my academic research survey? I need diverse opinions on the Representation of the Indian Queer community on Wattpad and I'm sure your voice will add incredible value to my research. Or if you know anyone who might be interested in helping, that would be great as well. 
          
          It'll only take 5-7 minutes to complete the survey. Your responses are completely confidential and your consent is very important.

The story is over. I've been working on it for three years, and I can safely say I've finished it now. I'm not quite satisfied with the ending due to the timeline, but we'll see about that. 
          
          I can't wait for the shortlist to come out.

College has officially started (not really)*, so let me do a quick recap:
          
          *introductory classes today, introductory selected subjects on Thursday from 10 to 12, nothing on Wednesday and Friday 
          
          I had four classes today from 10-14 that were all an hour each. 
          
          1) The Introduction To Medieval English Literature: The professor seems like a nice woman who's really enthusiastic about her subject. We have 14 weeks to cover 10 centuries, and she had so much to say about Beowulf alone because there's so much to be analysed, but this still seems like it will be a fun subject. 
          
          2) Linguistics In English: The professor's not very talkative, but he is approachable. He doesn't even note attendance because he respects our ability to determine our own responsibilities. The subject covers all sorts of different branches of English as a language, and the professor laid out a real comprehensive plan, which sounds interesting. 
          
          3) British Studies: Anglophone (US, UK, Canada, Australia) literature and history and culture. This seems like it'll be a fun subject, especially because the professor is an approachable young woman who likes to joke with her students. 
          
          4) Use Of Modern English: The professor looks a bit stern, but it seems like she really believes in us and our abilities. The subject sounds exciting as well. Even the homework isn't that bad - writing book reviews, a recipe, hobbies. We'll see how it goes, but as long as I study, I don't think there should be a problem. 
          
          My fellow students seem really nice as well. 
          
          So, that's my day. I'm very excited for college. I'm also a bit nervous, but not too much because it doesn't seem that intimidating. We'll see how it goes.

It's late where I live, but I couldn't sleep. I finished Part 2 out of 3. College starts in 6 days, and the Wattys season ends in 12, but luckily, I have many pre-written chapters. Expect a lot of updates.
          
          Also, this chapter is full of emotions, so please enjoy and tell me what you think. 
          I just published "Chapter 25 - Frost" of my story "Divine Ascension (Wattys 2024)". https://www.wattpad.com/1464148032?utm_source=android&utm_medium=profile&utm_content=share_published&wp_page=create_on_publish&wp_uname=Milicaorevi7
