Vacillating is my middle name
I'm still technically at the family reunion, but I have nothing better to do, so I'm going to post about a few things.
!.) I adopted a dog! Her name is Pearl and she's a 3-year-old, 80 lbs, Great Pyrenees. She's so pretty and smart and I'm at peace with myself in a way that I haven't been since my dog Alex died 2 years ago. It's also worth noting that she is my birthstone (June b-day).
2.) Class is going better than I expected. If I make an 84 on my final this Friday I'll have a B in the class. This means when I get home I'll be vigorously studying because GOD DAMMIT I WANT A B IN THIS FUCKING CLASS!!!! :<
3.) I'm only saying this here because no one really reads this journal, but I've been debating with myself whether or not to submit for s2b2 's Hot 4 Teacher issue. It's not for the story or the fact that I've barely written porn -- I've made alterations to the story so it's only going to be a standalone scene and I now know I'm capable of writing porn so that's been taken care of -- but really because I want to put my best work out there and I currently don't have the time. Class took more out of me than I even expected. I finish my class on the 12th and if I do nothing (like spend time with the spouse I've neglected or train the dog or clean my house) I can get this piece put together and polished before the due date of the 16th. I know I can do this, but I'm concerned about the quality if I rush it. I guess we'll all find out if I can do this in only a couple of days.
4.) The family reunion is one of those things that has been really good and really bad. I've been accepted and loved by some and reminded that I don't fit in by others. I don't want to go into depth about it, but I'm just glad I'm a sturdy girl in both body and spirit. If not, I'd probably spend the entire time crying by my tree in the backyard. Needless to say I had no energy to do anything (not even read comics online, believe that!) but keeping myself functioning.
Take care all my dears.
