Ugh. I feel like this has been my worst semester yet. Not in terms of grades, or in terms of social life, or even in terms of workload, but just…in terms of my classes. Classes, and just school in general. Here’s what I’ve figured out. My best, most enjoyable classes are the ones that really… Continue reading I am SO ready to wash the dust of this semester from my feet

This week has been rough. Last day of classes is tomorrow (today), next week is finals. I’m going to take as many finals as possible on Monday, just to get them over with. Scholastically, it has been a somewhat disappointing semester, though I don’t think my grades have suffered much. I just want it to… Continue reading …
Section one complete
Yes! I finished section 1 of my novel Hero in Exile today (the rough draft, at least). The main character, Tristen, just had everything he thought he knew pulled right out from under him, and now he’s on his way “home” to a world he knows nothing about. New characters, new problems, change of scenery,… Continue reading Section one complete
Unstuck
Happy Thanksgiving! Holy cow, I ate a lot. Had dinner with the McQueens, my sister’s husband’s grandparents, and all the inlaws. My sister-in-law can cook a mean chocolate pie. Holy cow. Delicious. So, when I wasn’t eating or groggily digesting over at my in-laws’ house, I was writing. It was pretty tough, to be honest. … Continue reading Unstuck
Lord of the Rings marathon
Yeah! My last class this week ended at 3:00 on Monday, so I decided to borrow the Lord of the Rings movies from my brother-in-law and throw a marathon! Instead of watching them all in one day (which would probably have been really disgusting), we watched one each night, Monday thru Wednesday. It was way… Continue reading Lord of the Rings marathon
I’m still here…
I know I haven’t written much on this blog in recent days, but I’m still here, and still writing. I’m in a little bit of a slump, with some doubts about this story and whether I’m pulling off what I’m attempting to do…more on that in another post. Tomorrow is the only day of school… Continue reading I’m still here…
playing catchup
Holy cow! I feel like I haven’t been blogging or writing hardly at all in the past week. Last year, I was so enthusiastic about the writing–and I still am, it’s just that school has freaking blindsided me. I had a 10 page history paper to write for today, and it threw off my schedule… Continue reading playing catchup
I’m being responsible (for once)
I’ve got this history paper due on Thursday. It’s the big research paper for the semester, and it counts for a large portion of the final grade. Because the deadline is coming up, it’s really pressing on my mind right now. Earlier in the semester, we had smaller assignments related to the paper–for example, we… Continue reading I’m being responsible (for once)
The week is OVER!!!
I am so happy. Yeah, I’ve got a current events paper I’ve got to write for MESA 201…but I can do that in like twenty minutes. Especially since the paper itself is not due, just the stuff that has to be peer critiqued. And really MESA 201 is like a flashback to high school, so… Continue reading The week is OVER!!!
A slow spot
This last week has been somewhat frustrating. Started it off well, with good progress in my story, but early on in the week, all kinds of assignments started piling onto me–stuff that I should have seen coming, but have been putting off ’til the last minute (as usual). It didn’t help that I just discovered… Continue reading A slow spot
