Easy test was super easy. Not to jinx myself or anything, but they made the ORELA sound WAY harder than it actually was ( Read more... )

Wedding planning is in its final stages, and I think mom has gone off the deep end. I'm doing what I can, where I can. I'm in charge of "bride stuff," which we're pulling together now. We've got everything except the flowers purchased, really... Decorating next friday will hopefully go smoothly - someone be ready for my panicked, tearful call ( Read more... )

I haven't posted anything in quite some time - I rather forgot I HAD a livejournal... Oops ( Read more... )

I got the MRI results, and my doctor is now considering surgery at the end of the summer, after we give this therapy course a little more time.  (The MRI shows median necritis, which means that my median nerve is abnormally swollen - enough to be easily visible on an MRI - which means a positive diagnosis of carpal tunnel.)

Grades are in, about what I expected. (4.0 - hurray for easy classes!)  I'll graduate Magna Cum Laude, so I'm pleased about that (even if my mom is still giving me shit.)  I'm curious to get papers back - especially my history final, which was a syllabus + annotated bibliography for a college course on the Japanese Internment. It was an awesome ( Read more... )

Well, it's been . . . some time since my last post.  Whoops.

The short update:

1) School is going well, although I'm eager to be done.  Finals are next week, woo hoo.

ALRIGHT!  So I've told some of my friends, but not everyone:  In a few short weeks I will be performing in the Vagina Monologues.  I'm doing several different things, including a monologue about birth.  It'll be awesome.  I am extremely excited, and I think that the show will be well worth the effort that has gone into it, and will continue to go ( Read more... )

So I admit it: I have wasted time on the internet, browsing etsy.com and staring covetously at the beautiful handmade jewelry that I cannot currently afford on my student's budget.  Someday.  Someday.

One of the cool things I stumbled across was a chance to win some of the beautiful things that I want so badly: http://fringelore.blogspot.com  Check ( Read more... )
