Today is the first day in ages that it hasn't been all blizardy out in ages, so we went to Erie where I got the first two season of Angel for $11.19 after using a gift card at Target (they were originaly $19.99, which is still crazy cheap) and Professor Layton and the Curious Village for $16 something after using a GameStop gift card. I also got a pair of Mudd shoes for $9.98 and a spiffy stripy cardigan for $5. (I so love PA for not having tax on clothing.) And I've still got a bit of money left from Christmas, so I'm happy.
Classes start again tomorrow. I feel nearly sick from being nervous, which happens at the start of every semester. Which is so silly, seeing how long I've been going and that I've had almost all of my professors at least once before. This semester I'm taking:
Great Author's Studies: Joyce Carol Oates
Literature in English I
Intermediate American Sign Language II
Earth History (This one doesn't start until March.)
Earth History Lab
The History of Ohio
World War II
This is nineteen credit hours, but I've done eighteen the past three terms, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to handle this.
Also, a couple of memes:
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me. It will be about or tailored to those five lucky "victims."
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be fic. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well, if you expect me to do something for you!

Litigation over land and property lines became a flourishing and continuing business wherever the indiscriminate claim was employed, especially in the Virginia Military District, where the state of Virginia, rather than Congress, defined the terms.
