I'm finished, done, all over etc. Jeff left and instead of feeling bummed I'm elated. Sigh

I hate this time of year {at least semester-wise}. I have a presentation to give in 50 minutes and I am so not prepared. That's because during Thanksgiving break I spent an exhorbitant amount of time writing my HP paper in the Hale library (and later at Jeff's parent's house), and the above-mentioned run on Word 2007. I have Word 2003, and when ( Read more... )

So, the problem with a class of my peers workshopping my story is that I am unsure whether they actually like it or not. Do they say nice things just to make me feel better? I am frustrated and stressed. Stressed because Thanksgiving break just means 'paper writing' to me. Sigh

I don't care what you say. I'm freaking happy that Obama was elected. In fact, in my vodka-induced happiness I danced a wee jig in my livingroom on tuesday night, effectively spilling that said vodka on me...but I was gleeful so damnit it was fun ( Read more... )

So last week I found out that I have a mailbox at school. This chick and I were conversing about writing; she is interested in children's literature and found out about my residing in South Africa while I was growing up and the stories that have resulted from my childhood. So then she suggested a book that she has, the author is also South ( Read more... )

So as I left Wal Mart today, every available parking space was filled and there were people waiting in line to occupy the ones already taken. sigh. the weekend before k-state starts is always hectic. I was busy since I clocked in at eight. Of course I was there since seven because the lightning storm last night caused our power to go out about ( Read more... )

Thanks Jon. After talking to you I started thinking about writing. Then I dreamed (after finding a comfortable position b/c my tat prohibited me from laying on my left side) of an awesome story line, complete with intricate details and scenery. I woke up to Seb screaming for a bottle and my dream disappeared...and now I'm awake at five a.m. and ( Read more... )

does anyone else feel all grown up? I feel as if I'm searching for the adult world and sometimes I'm in it but mostly I'm just wandering around. I took this 22 year old home last night, and she's a single mom who's young, naive and incredibly annoying. I remember struggling. I remember wondering what we were going to eat and whether I could add ( Read more... )

I've got the Tuesday blues. Last Monday, I took Christian to the doctor and he was diagnosed with a double ear infection. I got ill shortly thereafter (right about the time that he was feeling better of course). This week (starting on Friday evening) Seb is ill. Jeff took him to the doctor yesterday and she said that he has the crap going ( Read more... )

Christmas at Wal Mart is pretty groovy. Yesterday there were beaucoup de people who were doing last minute shopping and were rather disgruntled. Hordes and hordes of people descended on the store, causing me to want to lash out at everyone. There was one lady who tried to cash her check with an ID that was cut in half and taped together. They ( Read more... )
