Not such a great week last week.  I was sick.  I'm still sick.  I went to the doctor on Monday, got some antibiotics, but I'm still sick.  Super congested, and now I'm coughing.  I lost my voice yesterday.  But, I guess I'm on the mend.  And Im not the only one sick either... my laptop... it has a virus.  It's really having a hard time fighting it ( Read more... )

And so it will remain... indefinately... until it dries.  In case anyone was interested.  Anyways, last night went pretty well.  Everyone liked my pasta, even though I thought it could have been better.  The children were wildlings.  They weren't bad, just wild, as such wildlings are expected to be.  It was slightly overwhelming trying to keep them ( Read more... )

So.  The first week of classes.  It was... interesting.  I'm already feeling overwhelmed with work, and the real work hasn't even started.  The teachers seem alright.  Class discussions are an important part of the classes.  I just wish I could get over my shyness and think of something worthwhile to say.  How do you do that?  I totally overthink ( Read more... )

You know what I'm going to do?  Do yah?  huh?  Do yah?  I'm going to edit the next 10 pages of my story and send it to my critique partners for next sunday.  Why?  Because I'm having these ridiculous dizzy spells again and I can't risk driving all the way to hampton and not being able to drive home.  So... there isn't really much to write about.  ( Read more... )

Nothing much has been going on.  We were supposed to go visit a friend tonight but I haven't been feeling to well today.  I've been having asthma and my head feels like it's in a vice.  Tomorrow some friends that I haven't seen in... oh... maybe 8 years invited me to go bowling.  I think I'm probably going to go, I just hope I don't have to drive ( Read more... )

My dog ate part of my starfish ornament from VA beach.  I had to call the doctor to see if she would die.  She didn't.  It just gave her gas.  She was embarrassed about it, but I told her, "Su-Yiung!  You can't go around eat dried glittery starfish whenever you want!"  And I had to go to the doctor because I've been having more dizzy spells.  They ( Read more... )

I've been ever so busy. Work and college are running me ragged. I've told my boss that I'm going to cut back my hours, so I'll be working 8 to 12 again. That is a great relief to me. I think I'm doing pretty well in my classes. I've gotten B's or A's on most of my papers. That would exclude the latest paper that I turned in, in which I replaced the ( Read more... )

Its a two day ticket to the writing conference.  Ted said something like, "You can have it if you want, even if you can only go one day."  Well, obviously I took it to mean one day.  But it's both days!!!  Happy Day!!!  I've taken off work and switched my saturdays!!  Yay!!!!!  Jubilation!!!!  To Pizza!!!!

I missed speak like a pirate day.....

I'm not going to lie.  I am really starting to like poetry again.  We are keeping a verse miscellany in class and I do enjoy going back and reading my favorite poems.  Not that it really makes it much easier.  My teacher keeps scheduling quizzes at the last minute and not telling us in class.  Instead he posts it on blackboard like I really have ( Read more... )
