Hey, all!
I'm feeling much more optimistic about this term. I now have a better idea of what to expect and how ISU operates. I've tried a few other avenues, and as none of them work either, I think this is probably where I'm supposed to be. ;) May sound strange, but I find it reassuring.
Also am keeping my job at Bath & Body Works, which helps fill the gaps that academia used to fill a little more satisfyingly (if that makes sense) and otherwise relieves a lot of stress just to have an income and not feel as though I am only leaking money. And I like being busy.
Yes, much more optimistic indeed.
Also have finished my NaNoWriMo novel and looking to start editing that suckah, even doing some doodles that I'm considering for cover art.
My little brother and I are reading Othello, which apparently sounds pretentious but we're having a blast. Barbantio sounds like Sean Connery, Cassio is a random Scot (me), Iago and Othello are normal by default (for sheer quantity of lines), Desdemona has a deep voice (though much like her father), Bianca is like so totally valley girl, Emilia is nasally, all places where multiple people speak are announced in a monotone, yeah, we have some good times.
Making some new friends, too, including someone my boss tried to set me up with (and already had a girlfriend).
Trying to figure out what's going to happen Spring Break...
That's it for the moment. Take care, all.
