Just trying to be more regular about updating. A lot of my fellow Tolkien fans really liked Desloation of Smaug, so I'm looking forward to it even more. I also watched the 50th Anniversary episode for Doctor Who and the story was good, but I would have liked more of the other Doctors than archive footage. Naturally, I watched the mini-sode with ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm still around. I spent most of October and November focused on my classes. Got Bs in both and now have a break. In time to start working again, which will probably continue until next May. Then, hopefully, I'll finish my degree by next September or October, and then start applying for adjunct teaching positions, either online or at an ( Read more... )

Still around a kicking. Just been focused on school. SO MUCH READING. That's what I get for doing a history degree online. I got an A in my class, which was History and Theory. Working on Early Modern Europe (1500-1800). We have to do a literature review and my usual areas of interest won't work: early America and World War II. So, I was kind of ( Read more... )

I talked to both Financial Aid and Student Accounts since my previous post. By the time I actually got hold of an actual person and not an answering service, my student file was marked as eligible for financial aid, so I didn't have to worry about making a minimum payment and I could go ahead and start my class. And, after I'd been told it could ( Read more... )

I've been very bad about keeping up with my LJ. Tumblr and WoW keep me pretty well distracted. *sheepish* The anthology I mentioned whose deadline was July 31st in my last post? That's been changed to December 31st. *headdesk* I have to wait several more months to hear about that one. I haven't really written anything for the story due on September ( Read more... )

I'm still around. Just been focusing on my writing. Which has been going so well that I finished the story and submitted it for the anthology call it was for. The deadline is July 31st, so I won't know until after then if it's been accepted. *sigh* There's another call for a different company entirely that's due September 15th that I'd really like ( Read more... )

Found out earlier this week that I won't be able to start classes at National University until September. Because my bachelor's degree is in history and political science, they waived the undergrad history courses I'd have been required to take before starting on the graduate courses. There's one in particular that I have to take first and that's ( Read more... )
