 Right, so, I finally have longer than half an hour on the computer to do ALL OF MY STUFF.

I'm in the library at Rotarua, where it is pouring down rain, holy crap there is so. much. rain. The internet is kind of crappy and reallyyyy slow, but oh well. It is serving my purposes.

 So, the anonymous Holiday Love Meme is going.

My thread is here.

I... could kind of really use the confidence boost? I've been slipping a lot the past few days and just generally having issues with my emotions and everything.

 Things I have been up to in RL - mailing in voting registration! going through stacks of college info! I have a list of 5 colleges I'm almost definitely applying to - Yale, Brown, Adelphi, Tulane, and U of C, which about fifteen other colleges I'm going to look through to bring that up to 8 total.

Flist, you are fantastic, by the way. Out of the ( Read more... )

 *facepalm* Am fairly certain my body doesn't even know the definition of good timing. But I am feeling pretty much all better today, which is good! Just the remnants of a sore throat. :D thanks for the good wishes, guys.
