(no subject)
I've been scarce since Costume College. At first it was because of the death in my family. When things are not right in my world I become a recluse. It was weird the things that would upset me, but our relationship wasn't normal so its not to surprising. My hubby is such a trooper. I was in my depressed and angry mode and he would get lashed out on. But whenever he would ask me what was wrong I couldn't give him a specific reason. It was a case of the blahs.
Then I started school again. Last semester until I can finally apply for the nursing program! Its a little harder than I expected it to be. It's not overwhelmingly hard but harder than I expected. American Sign Language (ASL) 2 is much harder than ASL 1 was. Its no longer just memorizing signs. Its understanding sentence context and what-not. I think of it like ASL 1 being 1st-2nd grade level whereas ASL 2 is middle school. Microbiology is exactly what I expected. I need to dedicate more time to studing which I didn't do enough of this first test. But that was because I am sick, (going on 2 weeks and probably pneumonia). So I think I lost an A on the first test but I am confident I passed. I just need to knock the rest out of the park. My first interpretering class is online. I hate online classes. Like to my core. Not hard but time consuming. I just need to keep on top of it, which again being sick made me fall behind so I now I am slightly panicing. And then my Photography class. So far that has been a delight! Its not as easy as I thought it would be. Ampertures and shutter speeds and whatnot. ???????? I am such a point and shoot. But it has been fun. This is the first photo I processed from taking it to developing the film, to test strips for how long to expose things to the light, to a contact sheet and then this photo. One hour developing, HA! This is 6 hours worth of work.
I know I have a long way to go, especially since this first roll I didn't understand the light meter AT ALL. But I am proud of my first photo baby. It helps that its of a flag. :)
In the sewing world.... I haven't been doing much. I made myself a fun little cirlce skirt out of Wearing History's fabric. I love it and got TONS of compiments. I have a hard time making flattering skirts for myself so I am happy with how it came out. It does try and creep up which makes me look like I have no waist which is NOT flattering. So I need to fix that somehow. Fit my waistband better somehow? I'll figure it out.... hopefully.
I think I have caught up up on the state of me. Mentally doing better. Physically tired of being sick but I think I am finally on the mend. Busy with school. Itching to craft.
And for the meme. I'll hide mine because I am so behind the game. But I must say I LOVE reading all of yours. I loved the meme stage of LJ. Its bits of info that may never come up otherwise.
A- Age: 32, but if you ever ask me irl, I am 29 for the 3rd time.
B- Biggest Fear: hrmmmm that's hard... I have quite a few. I physically shake with heights. I am afraid of the things that go bump in the night... but my biggest, I think would be to die and be a Jane Doe. This fear hits on many levels for me.

E- Easiest Person to Talk to: ummmmm.... I have a hard time talking to people. But Katherine and my hubby are probably the easier ones for me to talk to. They get my very dry humor. And can look past my wordage to the true meaning of my statement, and not judge me for it.
F- Favorite Song: You want one favorite..... HA!

V- Vacation Destination: To many to count. I want to travel the world.
W- Worst Habit: Doubting myself which often leads to procastination
X- X-Rays you've had: teeth, chest, ankles, shoulder
