Ok, I know I haven't posted an aweful lot lately, but I post regularly over on my word-press blog if you're feeling neglected (hint hint). Currently wordpress is pissing my off though. Anyway, the news. Classes are over for the year, officially. I still have review classes for Arabic during the first two weeks of next term, and I have one last ( Read more... )

 I'm alive. No really, I am. I just haven't been about on Livejournal much. Partially, just been busy. Partially just haven't had anything to report really. Well, I suppose that's not true, it's just that all the things I have to report have been reported in other places.

I'll try and remember to update here more often, though. If you want more ( Read more... )

 So, for those who haven't been following along, a quick recap before I collapse. Today started at about midnight local time, because we woke up and could not return to sleep no matter how hard we tried (incidentally whoever came up with British tv programming for 3 am should be fired...). I also managed to fall getting out of the shower and rather ( Read more... )

 So....we've made it safely to Manchester, and our hotel. It was a bit touch and go (why don't they believe in signage over here?! is it a religious thing or what?!) cause we had trouble finding the transfer coach from the train/airport to the hotel. Tomorrow we're getting the Taxi. Plus, the taxi driver who took me to the Durham train station with ( Read more... )

 And what a crazy year 09 has been too. In 12 short months I've applied to graduate schools, gotten married, quit my job, moved overseas to another country, and gotten halfway through my MA. Alright, not halfway, but if feels like it should be. And all this besides making new friends, both in the 'old' country and the new, and visiting ireland ( Read more... )

 Well, I didn't finish her, but I'll put her up anyway. This is my first completely drawn and colored picture. I hand-drew it, then scanned it in and used Gimp to color it. I think it came out alright, but I still need to finish going over the lines with black (because apparently pencil doesn't scan well XD) and give some shading and things. Also, ( Read more... )

 Well, Brad's trying, he really is. He even went out and got me presents I don't know what they are! And wrapped them himself! But...one of our strings of lights quit working, and I can't figure out which stupid bulb it is. Also, I've procrastinated, as usual, and didn't have enough time to get enough books out of the library for my paper which is ( Read more... )

 It snowed!!! It was snowing in huge fat flakes when I woke up, and it's just stopped. It didn't get very deep, and will likely melt off before night (though thats only about an hour away so maybe not), but it did makes the roofs all pretty and white, and stuff. I'm so excited! If it keeps up like this, it might be a white christmas afterall! So ( Read more... )

So, I was experimenting, and drew this. Thought I'd share. Here he is, random green-haired dude. ^_^

The Classics society had a nice ball this evening. I enjoyed it, though my gown was too long, and I had to walk home afterwards. Still, it was....well interesting I suppose. I think its the first formal/grown up party I've ever been to, and I quite enjoyed it, though as a general rule parties aren't really my thing. I also was reaffirmed in my ( Read more... )
