The importance of feminism and trying to study anyway.
In the none-too-gradual countdown between now and my impending exams, I've been spending an inordinate amount of time doing... well, not nothing. Just not as much studying for my exams as perhaps would be prudent. A good chuck of my goofing off is at the hands of Civ III (I am NOT buying IV until after exams! I promise!) but some of it has been ( Read more... ) -
For those of you who don't know...
I'm now officially taking my exams in March with everyone else. This was a good decision on my part, as I was discovering how much less I retained from my first year. Couldn't recall much at all, so now I have another 10 weeks to rectify that situation.

... and I begin to plot...
... what I'm going to do with the money if I sell my car, since I've gotten a few calls today about it. I had completely forgotten that I'd put an ad in the paper this weekend (today through Saturday) and was, well, *shocked* to get a phone call today.

Megacon!
Yup, my geekiness *really* knows no bounds. I managed to get the finances together enough to buy plane tix to Tampa, so I can finally meet some of these Nightgig people I've been working with for, oh, 'bout two years now.

a quick brag post. :)
I may panic about the M.A. Exam eventually... but not today.
Why, you ask? Because I got shit done today. :) In fact, I read:

Take that poison, but don't expect me to die from it.
I really don't like being around negative people. Admittedly, I would qualify as one of those today, as much as I found things to gripe about. I have had two encounters today, however, that have really sharpened my sense of the negative, and from which I had to mentally extricate myself before I crossed over from grumpy to irate ( Read more... )
