Still alive
Still around a kicking. Just been focused on school. SO MUCH READING. That's what I get for doing a history degree online. I got an A in my class, which was History and Theory. Working on Early Modern Europe (1500-1800). We have to do a literature review and my usual areas of interest won't work: early America and World War II. So, I was kind of torn between witchcraft and early feminism. I've pretty much settled on feminism. Most of the witchcraft articles I found were focused on Africa. *headdesk* I don't know if I'll focus on a specific person for feminism or what. I have to wade through the articles I found to figure it out. Only need to review three articles by this Saturday. That's on top of the regular reading for class and discussion boards. Next month is early America. Then I get a break for December. I'll be relieved for it, I'm sure.
In other news, my birthday is at the end of the month! I'll be turning 30, eep! As per usual, I'll happily write drabbles for my friends as hobbit!birthday presents. You can check my writing journal to see what fandoms and pairings I'll write: feline_artistry. umbralillium always gets a birthday one from me, since her birthday is the day before mine. :D
I also got sucked into Diablo III. *sheepish* Since I signed up for a year's subscription to WoW so I could get into the MoP beta, I also got a free copy of Diablo III and I finally decided to see what it's about. I made it through the first two Acts in less than a week. The storyline is very compelling and I've come up with a backstory for my character already that's probably nothing like the in-game backstory. I won't change my mind on her backstory, though. So there. :D
And the remodel on our house has been continuing. The bathroom that started it all is almost finished. The painting needs to be finished, and the master bathroom is being redone as well, and then laminate flooring in the living, dining, and family rooms as well as the hall. Last of all will be a new fence along the back property line. We have a brick wall to the west and vinyl fencing was put in to the east a few years ago. The new fence will be vinyl. It'll be such a relief when it's all done. With workers here almost every day, we introverts don't get much of a chance to recharge.
