Hey, look, I exist!
Oct. 10th, 2011 10:30 pmSo, yeah. I haven't gotten much of a chance to post lately between work and school, and I've been a bit stressed lately so I've resolving it with sleeping ALL the time (ugh), AND also I've been watching barely any TV whatsoever except for "Project Runway", and I don't even know why I'm watching that. (Not because I don't like it, but because I'm about one more bitchy comment away from punching Josh in the face and alas, he's not here, he's in my TV.)
ANYWAY.
What have I been up to?
-- I've been squeezing in editing when I can. I've got two different edits of the novel to check from two different people, one of whom is paid and one of whom edits like she was (heh), so that's why the first Book of Boggs hasn't been posted just yet. But it will! I swear. No, seriously. No, really.
-- I have no money whatsoever until Friday and it's driving me up the wall. BUT I get paid on Friday, and I get the credit balance of my student account on Saturday (hopefully -- most of the time when the school says they'll send me something it's here the next day, sooo ...) I am paying SO many bills.
-- I've been having my classes and they're not so bad. My lit class actually makes me happy and also scared, because I like my professor a lot and she's really low-key, but we started out with five students on the first day and now we're down to two. It'll hopefully be back to four next weekender, but I have this terrible fear that the other two girls will quit and they'll end the class or something. (Not at this point. I don't think. Jeez, silly people, quitting my damn classes.)
I'm also taking a marketing class, which I quite like more than I thought I would. That's probably due to the fact that at least half of the other students were in my speech class last semester and the professor is really laidback and fun. We're supposed to be a group project, which I'm not too thrilled about only because I like to do my own work (not in a bad way - does that make sense?), but it's a marketing plan for duct tape craft kits, which means I get to spend my weekend making Christmas crafts out of colored duct tape. So that's something.
Then there's professional speech. Eh, whatever. I'm not a fan of speech classes either and my professor (while not mean or anything) is a bit of a hardass. Not that that's a bad thing, really, but my last speech class was more casual and this one is kind of terrifying. We have a group project for this one, too, for which we were allowed to meet up and plot for this weekend in lieu of actually having class.
-- Speaking of school, I get to take creative writing next semester! And children's lit! I nearly cheered out loud when I got a copy of the weekender schedule for the spring semester from someone else in marketing class this weekend and saw that. There doesn't appear to be anything in the other section I can take towards my major, so I may see what I can take online towards it.
-- Oh, and I started watching Breaking Bad! I'm almost finished with season one, but I can already say that I am in love and kinda want to snuggle with the whole damn show even though Walt and Jesse are people no one should snuggle with ever, ever, EVER. (I *may* be a bit spoiled for future storylines. I'd feel ashamed, but I'm already in love. ;))
-- Let's not talk about work. Yuck.
ANYWAY.
