Here's the Earth--nice earth, round--anyway!
I am, despite appearances, not actually dead.
Just freaking out over stuff; while useful to know, it's still unpleasant to find out that given long or lax deadlines, I procrastinate until maybe-just-barely-too-late, and then freak out. Lots.
Yeah. O-chem flashbacks, I can has. =\ I am so lucky I'm not predisposed to ulcers.
Instead of going back to school on Twelfth Night when I have an extremely evil test the 15th of January, I'm going to see if I can volunteer at a library and/or a student writing center (likely starting in February, after the world finishes ending), try to get a feel for what I'd be getting into.
In writing terms, I'm pondering whether I want to go back to the first 100 Original Fics I did, and expand/revise those posts to reflect new knowledge and somewhat more practiced work. I'd feel a lot like I was boasting/really damn odd to go back to the community and say 'yeah, I finished in August of '07, and am just getting around to posting links to those now . .' and it's unlikely I'd post even the revised ones there. Wild Roses is just too damn big to toss at the unprepared and hope for comments. =\
I'm also pondering trying to string together some of the Deaths pieces, or one (or more) of the Witches' Horses stories, see if I can get a skeletal narrative up.
I should figure out slightly more advanced html coding, so I can get a visual timeline going with one section of the Wild Roses index of doom!, as the Trickwood Unification is partially concurrent with Some Kind of Love Song. Failing that, I could make a journal for Some Kind of Love Song, and see if I could get a semi self-contained story going.
Which, again, February. I'll likely be posting bits and pieces in and around prep work and Statements of Intent, but nothing like the forty-in-four or the two-for-twenty until after the test's over and the application's in.
I am crap for human contact right now. I'm sorry. The combination of academic freakout and winter downturn means I'm not saying much and what there is tends to be very superficial.
