Mom came out all right!  She's in a little pain and uncomfortable, as expected, but otherwise she's fine.  So that's a load off me ( Read more... )

Mom's in surgery today to remove polyps from her uterus.  So here I sit waiting for the phone to ring to hear how she is, though I know I won't hear anything until this evening.  My mind can't help but brush against the thought something might go wrong.  I know it's a fairly routine surgery, but with what my mom has gone through, especially since ( Read more... )

 ...is unbelievably awesome so far.  I'm up through the first eight episodes (Schoolwork?  What schoolwork? >_>), though really I only sat today and plowed through eps. 5-8 as I saw the first four on Funimation's site a few months ago.  But I'm loving the ride, and I forsee loads of fun writing some of these characters into the A Taste of What's to ( Read more... )

Finished BioShock 2 in two consecutive nights.  AWESOME, AMAZING GAME.  I love it just as much as the first one.  Love the story, the characters, the voice-acting, the morality, the creepy setting, the challenge...gawd, the experience was wonderfully unsettling.  I'm beginning a second play through, even though I *should* focus on homework--but ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!  *huggles all*

OMG, it's been a long while since I've written anything here! Now that fall semester is over and I'm back home for break, I can finally laze around and not feel guilty about it afterward! *cheers* I can't tell you how ready I was for break to come, and I'm SO happy it has ( Read more... )

I got back from my Praxis exam about ten minutes ago (the Praxis I, to be specific, is a pre-professional test that all education majors have to take in reading, writing, and math), and I am so happy!  I passed my reading and math portions!  180 for reading, 172 for math; I got one point more than the minimum passing grade for the math portion, but ( Read more... )

I know I promised an uber-long update on college life, but it's warm out and I'm lazy.  So, to sum it up: the curse of the English Education major.  TOO.  MUCH.  FUCKING.  READING.

But the people I've met here and at work are really nice, and I've adjusted pretty well!  I'm not as homesick as I thought I would be; if anything, I think I miss my cats ( Read more... )

Just one more day!  Packing is (or should be, I'll say) mostly done, save for a few things I still need for tomorrow and Saturday morning.  For those of you not in the know, I'm heading out to Bemidji (roughly two hours west from where I live) for college.  My major is pretty much set on English Education, but I'm still unsure about whether or not ( Read more... )
