Take the coal, touch my lips, here I am.


Haven't posted properly in a bit, so I figured I'd allow myself a nice little update on what is happening in my life! It's fascinating, isn't it?

I dropped COMP 150 because Javascript is freaking unbelievably difficult. Anyone that tells you different is...a jerk.

I have a research report due in BUS 100 that must be written in standard business report format...and I have no idea how to do that. That's due Tuesday. I also must go through and edit/critique four short stories for my creative writing class. Spanish, I have to type up 5 pages of questions and answers before Wednesday and attempt to complete one unit in my online testing. Finally, I must read and do an online quiz for Chapter 6 in my Business textbook.

Oh man! Being a student ROCKS! :)


I've been dying to go out and take some piccies, but I have no funds to do so. Yes, I am finally broke. To add to my stress of homework, driving Ryan around, and being a good daughter by keeping the house clean, I have to deal with the wonderful guilt of being unemployed. I hope to find a job in summer when I've left school. I'm actually hoping that the one I left last summer will be available to me. 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, I think I'll make good money...however...I will NEVER see Ryan during the week. So it's money or Ryan...:'(

Happier subjects...well...I'm reading jPod by Douglas Coupland and have been severely bitten by the travel bug. So I'm reading a lot of travel books. I desperately want to go traveling and in the "backpacking" sense rather than the "resort" sense.

Fortunately, a carrot that my mom and I have dangled in front of ourselves is a trip somewhere important to do something important the summer after this coming one. I'd rather not say where or what we'll be doing because telling too many people really takes away how very special it is. And if we don't go through with it, I could possibly come off as a failure, and I really don't want that. So the less people that know right now, the better it is. Needless to say, it's pretty darn awesome and will satisfy that travel bug for at least 6 weeks or so.

Also, to tie in my subject line and make this post slightly coherent, I finally burned Kutless' worship cd Strong Tower. Take Me In is the most amazing song.


PHOTO1: a morning glory on the path around Mill Lake. It's pretty. I took this in autumn around the time I got my new lens and before I got the huge smear that is now on it and I have no money to buy lens cleaner for.

PHOTO2: the same morning and trip around Mill Lake I found some shrubbery that was just covered in cobwebs! It was so odd, I had to take a picture. Unfortunately, artistically it's not the best.
