Winter Term 2010
It's that time again, time for a new term specifically Winter term. I'm feeling pretty good about this term. I'm getting the last of my requirements out of the way for my Associates Degree. I definitely feel like I'm making some progress and feel a lot better than I did last Spring term. As my grandpa put it there is light at the end of the academic tunnel, for this half of the Bachelors anyway. Although getting the AS. does make me feel that I'm that much closer to the finishing.
I had a nice Chirstmas Break, Molly Tyson, and I got lots of time to hang out all together, which was really nice. We saw Stern around the 17th, which was great. Drawing time was had by all! Winter break is a nice size break I feel recharged and ready for this term, unlike the little break that is Spring Break. Christmas itself was nice, quiet but nice. We went to the candle light service at church, which I really enjoy and as per tradition watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Christmas dinner was really nice, and happily unlike with Thanksgiving Ben's Gallbladder didn't decide to attack him.
I also got some writing done! Unfortunately I didn't finish NAL's chapter one rewrite, but I did get some a good part of it worked on. Even the Tolvin story got some attention. Will wonders never cease lol ;). I think I am slowly starting to push out of my writing anxiety. My friends and family have been pointing out writing advice, which insists one must write and not be afraid to suck. I think it is worming it's way into my thick skull. Ben said something that really struck me. He said it better to just write the draft and get it out, and then edit it, than to painstakingly edited it every one to two sentences at a time. He's a very preceptive young man. I really think this is what I'm doing.
Well better go I have weight lifting class in fifteen minutes and I have to fill out the the wait list form. I'm nervous about having a college PE. class since I've never had one I have no idea what I'm doing. Oh well I'll play it by ear. Take care everyone love you...
