So apparently I'm having an off year with lj? I didn't realize how rarely I was posting until just recently. I've probably not been commenting as much on other people's posts as usual, although I have been reading my friendslist sporadically. Mostly from February on I was working as a substitute teacher, which kept me plenty busy; now I'm still on ( Read more... )

Back in America- funnily enough, as of Independence Day. :) It's good to be back, although the trip was beyond fun. I'm going to be writing a series of travel posts (probably eight, one for each city we visited) which will start going up later this week. I will also post public links to the photo albums I'm putting up on facebook. I'm estimating I ( Read more... )

I've been sick all weekend- ever since Thursday afternoon, really- with the kind of cold that hits you really hard and really suddenly but, hopefully, goes away in a pretty short time. It didn't prevent me from going into work on Friday, and I doubt it'll be serious enough to keep me at home tomorrow- but I didn't go out at all yesterday, and I've ( Read more... )

My relatives have just left, and I'm popping online real quick to check email before I resume Christmas-like activities. This meme has been going around, so I thought I'd do it before it went out of date. ;)

I wasn't going to renew my subscription to the Glimmer Train literary magazine (because I subscribed as a requirement for a class I'm no longer in), but I'm not sure I can not do so when I get a renewal notice as amazingly nice as this in my email inbox.

I'm on another whirlwind adventure with Caitlin! After Florence got off work today we went to dinner and then to a 9:15 showing of "The Dark Knight." I'd really been anticipating seeing this film for a long time now (ever since I saw the trailer in April), and it was a pretty awesome movie. I won't say anything spoiler-y, but it really does keep ( Read more... )

I'm excited! I've got two packages most likely coming in the next couple weeks. The first is a literary journal that we had to subscribe to for my fiction writing class, so we could get an idea of the publishing world that we're preparing to enter. I'm looking forward to seeing what that's all about. The second is a book of short stories by Annie ( Read more... )

So I noticed that if I wait until later tonight to update lj, it will be my third "Heroes"-related post in a row. And while that's all well and good, it might be nice if I were to update on, say, something else! So here are some things I've been thinking about recently:

( As you can see, I put them under a cut, because it ended up being longer than I thought. )

So the good news is that, thankfully, I don't have to worry too much about Child in America being cancelled. I do have eight requirements to fulfill for the MAT, but I discovered that I was wrong in thinking I've only completed one of them- I've actually completed two (Intro to Psych counts as one). So if I don't take an education class this fall ( Read more... )
