Reading!
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, [...]

I’m taking two classes this term, Digital Imaging I, and Texas State and Local Government. TX Gov is required by the state for any degree, so I’m stuck with it. Texas government is… peculiar. My other class, however, is just plain fun. My major is history, but I’m thinking of also getting [...]

You know, I don’t think I’ll try to force myself to post every day again. Maybe it’s that I feel obligated to post, which makes me rebel. Or maybe I just don’t have a life.
I’m ok with that, really. I happen to like my well upholstered rut.
Anyway. One [...]

I woke up (to pee, natch) before the alarm went off, and now I’m actually awake! What’s up with that?
So that American Lit test I thought I blew? Got a 98. Seriously, what is wrong with me?? I still feel like my answers weren’t worth full points – I’m under the [...]

Today, in short bullet points:

Tasha has taken off her collar, again. This time, I think she’s hidden it.
The cable bill gave me a massive paper cut.
Though mortally wounded (see above point) I got the junk paid and the bills shredded.
Wait. Reverse that.
I still need to pick classes for Spring term. Eeep.
I’m dreading [...]

I’ve discovered that I don’t like the pressure of feeling like I have to post every day. I’m going to tough it out though, because I still feel bad about miserably failing the Project 365 photo challenge. At least it’s only one month. Can’t promise any earth-shattering or deeply moving posts though.
So, [...]

Good News: Got 100 on my government test
Bad News: I don’t feel that good about my AmLit test today.
Good News: At least I wrote something on each question.
Bad News: It may or may not have been related to the question.
Good News: Animal Crossing: City Folk is a lot of fun!
Bad News: [...]

Today is Saturday. We need to go to Costco, Petsmart, and pick up a prescription at the vet, but seriously, I don’t feel like leaving the house. It’s windy and it makes me feel like the best thing to do is snuggle up under a blanket and play video games.
So, a compromise. [...]

Well, I just finished my Government test. I’m fairly pleased, I think I was as ready for it as possible, considering my… tendencies. The multiple guess was a piece of cake, as usual, and the short answer (11 fairly detailed questions, omit one) weren’t too bad. I know I lost a [...]

Well, tomorrow’s my third government exam. I should do well, but I’m still a bit… worried isn’t exactly the word. Maybe anxious is closer. Either way, I must do really well on it, or else.
Blah.
Still kicking myself.

School has been going well for me. I really enjoy it, and I look forward to taking more classes. Well, except maybe for the Speech requirement. So far I’ve got a 4.0, but alas, that will change this term. The best grade I can hope for in my U.S. Government (yeah, go [...]

OK first off, it’s raining. This means people in Austin drive worse than usual.
Next, it’s Friday, so Simon (the ACC “cafe”) is closed, so I can’t buy a banana or a bagel.
Fine, I try to buy a bottled Dr. Pepper from the machine – it sounds like it vends, but nothing in the box, [...]

I got to school on Monday and found out that my History teacher died over spring break. She’d had some upper respiratory crud going on the week prior, and apparently it turned into pneumonia and it killed her.
The disturbing part, besides someone I know however superficially dying without warning, is that she was just [...]

Tuesday I went to the zoo again. We get a membership every year, because we want to support their rescue efforts, but we don’t really go very often. I got some pretty cool pictures this time – it was a nice, breezy morning.

Here’s the rest of the pictures.

School is going pretty well. [...]

Photography
I joined a photo group called Project 365+1 – the idea is you take (and post) a photo every day. Other than that, there’s no rules – it can be slice of life, “artistic”, whatever. Mine will probably be heavy on the cat side.
My cameras are:

Nikon D50 (love this camera)
Canon Powershot [...]
