My professor looks like Ismarc..  only a little older.. and I have this feeling  you'd like him too.  He uses big words that make me want to cry to complicate ( Read more... )

....over six months since the last time I checked in? Really? Damn there's a lot of catching up to do ( Read more... )

Well. After a particularly trying day.. iy was 5 minutes to midnight. I decided to go to bed. The mail had yet to be opened, and in the package was a letter from Breath and Shadow. I assumed they were thanking me for donating my funds back to them, as I felt the project is truely a worthwhile effort. So I decide to open it up before I crawl off ( Read more... )

Well if I keep this up I'm gonna get a swelled head. I heard back from Murray State this morning, so I'm going to Graduate school. They're not my first choice but hey, I'm in!

Wow.. I survived the Subject Test in English Literature... I won't hear back for 4 weeks about how I did but I can tell you this much. I don't flippin care.

It was like being ( Read more... )

I hadn't realized it had been so long since I checked in with everyone. Not as if there are so many of you watching, but for those who are I wanted to say hello. Things have been up and down, the low times as hard as the good times are easy. You know how it is, you live it every day. But sometimes out of these things come flashes of insight, and ( Read more... )

are "Geek Food" I have been informed. So hey guys, come and get them, I have two giant plates full. However, I am pleased to report Pizza, Doughnuts, and ice cream are still on the cool list. I survived the night, now just 9 hours until they go home!

Just thinking of you today, hope your having a decent time. Miss being close enough to wish it in person. On a related note I think I'm finally an official Mom. Kyle has decided I have NO taste in clothing and Heather is absolutely sure the rice krispie treats I was going to make for her sleepover tonight were no longer cool. I made them ( Read more... )

It almost feels like I'm got something resembling a life on the horizon. Brian's down in Florida, arrived safely as of this evening and I'll here back from him after the races tomorrow. In the mean time, I had to write another autobiography piece and I had angsted out.. so I did one on my Directional Sense. Or ..should you know me then you know ( Read more... )
