hello, all! I know it's been a couple days since my last post, but I've been busy. I worked my butt off (not literally, unfortunately) at both of my jobs (one paid, one not) and helping the parents out with cleaning and organizing the house. Mom doesn't seem too interested in cleaning so much as  hiding the messes and junks she accumulates. Dad's ( Read more... )

So this winter break, I decided to keep myself busy and active (hopefully). I offered to volunteer at the De Pere Christian Outreach Center (very cool working there) and I'm working as many hours as possible at Festival. I'm also working on the first book for French capstone (because L. B-K apparently loves me) and crocheting a blanket. It seems ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. Even now, with guilt riding my efforts, I have nothing really to put on the page. I thought lately about writing a series of personal short stories, something that reveals my family for everyone to be able to poke and prod. I find it...interesting... that everyone picked up on my lack of decent ( Read more... )

Yes! Today was my scheduling day for classes next semester. Everything seems to have gone off without any terrible instances. I, being prepared this time, waited until 7:44 to log on to knightline (because my time for registration was 7:45AM) and filled in the password for registration. I then waited, not so patiently, for the clock to change from ( Read more... )

I know it may be wrong of me, and downright selfish, but I didn't do the reading for one of my classes this week. Part of it was the thought I'd be watching the movie (but then missed the showing), part of it was the instructor telling us to avoid the book if possible and watch the movie/play instead, and the final part was that I didn't want to ( Read more... )

So yesterday I said I'd write something personal about myself, something revealing. According to L Mac, anything short of a bloody Axe murder in my past is A-Okay with her. Hey, L. Just wondering, but what if it wasn't bloody? Is that cool then? Nah, I'm just kidding. I can't even shoot a deer or fillet a fish, what chance do I have against a human ( Read more... )

I was told by, quite possibly THE BEST PROFESSOR ALIVE today that when I write for one person my writing is much more vibrant and real. She suggested (sorry to any male professors who just experienced their lives crashing down around them) that I write to someone in particular in order to alleviate the falseness that my writing acquires when ( Read more... )

Gosh, I feel like a total granny right now. (No offense to any grandmothers reading this post) It's only eight thirty and I'm already exhausted. I woke up at seven, eight, and finally nine before getting up for the day. I just had absolutely no energy this morning and had to force myself to work out. I'm guessing it has something to do with the ( Read more... )

I looked at the DVD selection today before work to see if Sex and the City was back in the Redbox machine. It was not. Poo! Then, just for shits and giggles, I looked again right before my shift was going to end. I kid you not, I had ten minutes left on the clock. Sure as shit, there it was. I was so happy because I'd be watching Sex and the City ( Read more... )

            Brian alternated between stabbing the keyboard with his long, skinny fingers and holding his wavy blonde haired head with them. “I’m so fucking screwed” he said, staring at the blank white page. “ God dammit, why can’t English professors give out easy assignments?” He spoke his words not expecting a response, but got one anyways.
