Man, this semester is cranking up, and my schedule is nuts. Next week, i have a 10-15 page paper due on Monday, which will be the result of Research Project No. 1. On Wednesday night, I'm presenting my findings for Research Project No. 2, and i should preferably have the paper done for that also. That'll be over 15 pages ( Read more... )

I took a nap, ran some errands, read the paper, and finished laying out the Peaceful Living newsletter.

Um, i just wanted to post something that meant an aweful lot to me. I'm not boasting, but it just means so much to me that someone thinks of me this way. It's a card i got from Elvin and Ruth Kolb, and John and Cathy Raub. I've ( Read more... )
