I have been having a fight with my mother's cat.

Fighting cats is stupid, of course, but nonetheless I have been fighting her over the last few days. Last time I fought a cat it was when Casey and I were living together.

Well actually it's Midterm season which is my least favorite, but anyway, it also happens to be my favorite part of the semester: next semester's tentative course offerings have been released! I'm going to try to get all of my upper-level credits out of the way (except for the mandatory Government 391 or ( Read more... )
