School and Inspiration
This past Wednesday I started school. It was history class. I really like the professor, she's a traditional hard-ass. She knows how she wants the class, and has very clear defined expectations. Now, I have been really excited about school, as it took me three and a half years to go back. I feel so behind and I know that I am better than food service, even if I am amazing at it. Today, I did my first history homework, which was to read the first chapter of the book. I found a new hatred. I certainly hope that things improve. It takes things that I still know to be conjecture and theory to be fact. I was so angry at the book as I was reading it. I complained for the nearly three hours it took me to suffer through 32 pages of it. Poor Brodie (Who knows a fair share of Anthropology) was also cringing at some of the things the book asserted. *sigh* So now I am memorizing things that I believe to be completely wrong - at least I can find it amusing. Origin of man, migration over Beringia to the Americas, Ancient American culture.. Things that I already have a fair knowledge of myself.
In happier news .. I got a new computer, and while I will never retire Ducky, considering I treat him as my own childe (those of you that know me well enough know that Ducky is my ancient laptop.) The knew computer is at least four times better in nearly every conceivable way.. It makes me very very happy, except that it runs vista.
I love my composition class, even though I've read three quarters of the reading we'll be doing already.. They're stories I love. The professor is super glad to have me in her class, because I actually want to be there, and enjoy language, writing, and reading. I am going to a community college, after all.
My Texas Government and Politics class is going to be interesting. The professor is from Nigeria, and the taught in Jamaica for five years.. I can't understand a word he says .. Well more like there is a solid five second lag between his mouth and my brain. He does all of his quizzes and nearly all of his assignments online. I hope I glean something worth it from his classes. I'm excited about the class because I haven't taken any classes relating to Texas gov't or history .
Math class starts in February.. I am not looking forward to that.. Because I'm not a math person, and freak out on math exams .. I get to take developmental math class. I recoil at the thought of taking a class that I actually don't get credit for, but have to take in order to take the class I need to transfer .. Not to mention, I have the knowledge base to be in College Algebra .. But I am being stuck in the not completely remedial course.
I chopped all my hair off. 14 inches. My hair is now just above my shoulder when it's wet, and chin length when it is dry. I love it.
I will try to be online more often. :D
Game.
Vampire:
Taharial - I am trying to find ways to play her, and games to go to, and things to do with her. She's not what I want her to be and I am rarely having fun with her. Please please please, because I love the concept, help me find interesting things for her to do and places to go.
Vildan - I love this character, and in Austin, this is my primary. I am so glad to be playing Invictus again.
Changeling:
Carolynne - Truefriend, Cat, Lethal Mein. *snicker* Right hand of Owen Avalon. Very very bestial .. Calico cat .. So much fun to play. Forcing myself to slow down, speak softly, and with my southern accent is really really interesting. Want tie-ins.
Love is. Love Is.
All will be well, an' all will be well, an' all manner o' tings will be well.
