I’m trying to prepare for my oral interview in Spanish tomorrow, fighting my own rampant avoidance behaviour when the following conversation occurs: Rob: Want me to put headphones on while you’re studying? Me: Yes, please, if you don’t mind. Rob: No problemo. Me: (absently) No probleMA. Rob: So what you’re saying is that all problems are female? Me: No, words that end in “ma”….. shut up. Rob: (snickers)

Yesterday I should have gone to a history lecture that would have netted me 5 extra credit points for just attending – no paper or ‘nuthin. I didn’t go because I stayed up until 2 am in order to buy an autographed Abney Park cd. Priorities – I has them! I regret NOTHING! I did better on the second test anyway, so I’ll just write a paper for some EC. Today though, today I do ALL THE THINGS! See, a list: Get up / shower / dressed (set the bar low!) Scoop litter boxes (note to self: need 1 more)…

Update in bulleted form: 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, a wind rose around the alabaster spire known as the White Tower. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning. Having read #1 – #11 of…

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 a “photographic artist” certificate, whatever that is. The classes for that are some photography fundamentals, digital imaging classes, a class on web design and small business management. Could be useful, and should be fun and interesting. So! My photoshops, let me show you them! Click on the “thumbnails”1…

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. :D I’m ok with that, really. I happen to like my well upholstered rut. Anyway. One more duty post after this one, and then it’s back to random sporadic posting. Maybe I’ll manage to post once a week! Almost into the homestretch for this semester at school. One more test in Government, and I’ve got a paper in American Lit due, and that’s it. Next…

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 theory that the prof was scoring my test late, he wanted to get to bed, and was all “screw it, good enough.” Or something. Wow. Mornings. The sky just a few minutes ago was this gorgeous light purple. Normally, I’m against sunrises – the only way they should…

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 getting our writing assignment for Am Lit. That is all. [EDIT: 9:49pm Found it! Tasha’s collar, that is. It was on the bottom shelf of a bookcase in the library. Silly cat. Now I’m going to have some ice cream and watch…

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, today. School. Government is fun, we’re on the Bill of Rights. Talking about the first and fourth, and the class is an uproar. In American Lit we’ve gone from Thoreau and Whitman to the Declaration of Independence, Abigail and John Adam’s letters, and Frederick Douglass – the…

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: Where does the time go???

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. :D Today I’m gonna do laundry and study for my American Lit test that’s on Monday, and vegetate as much as possible. Tomorrow, Costco, Petsmart, and GameStop to pick up Animal Crossing City Folk. sqlrob had better get in as much Fallout 3 as he can today,…
