September News

I've been seeing quite a bit of Reggie lately.  That's all I'm gonna say about that for now.  Star and her boyfriend, Yeti are really cute together. I can call him that because his nickname is Sasquatch, but that's someone else's nickname too.  Not here, in real life. I think I want an excuse to get a new computer.  Miss Thing is great, but I'd love a faster, more powerful one.  She's running great so I have nothing to complain about. :)

My Happiness Project is going great!  This doing homework every day is really helping me keep up with stuff.  I finished the Uffington Horse craft/writing project and got some positive feedback on that.  Tonight I turned in the proposal for the last project, based on Stonehenge.  Cool!  That one will take some planning.  We are finishing up the first year of Ancient Rites.  I have one more paper due on Thursday so will work on that tomorrow.  Dean Dharma is going to mail each of us certificates for the first year.  My Mom will be happy about that, proof that all this work is good for something. 

I'm starting I Ching 1 next week and Foundations in Counseling in early October.  I've been so bored, stressed out and confused this summer.  It will be nice having that structure back in my life with deadlines too. No one understands that, I swear.  I'm a Virgo.  Indy is sleeping on the fuzzy blanket Star made me for my birthday.  I'm listening to George Michael videos.  I watched them for awhile while I was working on an afghan to match my furniture, crochet.  For someone who's sick I got a lot done today.  I'm getting over, hopefully for the last time, this dang cold.  My cough has mostly gone away, thanks to large doses of Vitamin C. 

I'm actually going to set foot in church tomorrow.  I'm definitely going to Bible Study. I finally feel good enough to go.  I watched The Book of Eli the other night, very good.  I'm getting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo tomorrow, the Swedish one with subtitles, and will probably watch it on Thursday night.  Netflix, of course.

Creativity and Flexibility

I finally started working on the short story inspired by the Uffington Horse for Prehistory class.  I had an idea and took notes on it awhile ago.  It's shaping up OK.  I only have the first half or so written, longhand.  Still not sure how exactly the rest of the story will go.  School, officially, doesn't start for awhile.  I still have stuff to do for Ancient Rites before the start of school.

I'm "seeing" a guy, but not much (nothing) has happened yet.  I think he is really shy, even though he talks a lot.  I'm really shy too. Hmmmmm...!

I haven't been feeling very good physically lately.  I'm pretty much over my cold.  Yesterday, I went for a walk.  Today it poured.  Maybe I just need to get more exercise.  Tomorrow I'm going to town with my mom, to see my job counselor and do a little shopping.  Oh and me and Lucky are starting an I Ching discussion tomorrow. I might go to Bible Study and I have to back up my docs and pics too.  Busy day tomorrow!

Lines in the Sand

Last Wednesday I went down to the jetty to do the first part of my 3rd Prehistory project.  I still have to write a short story, luckily I already have an outline of that.  I made a geoglyph on the wet sand, a horse.  This was patterned after the Uffington Horse geoglyph in Wales, but a lot smaller. The tides have already erased it.

No one paid me any mind.

It was my mom's birthday on the same day.  I came down with a cold that day too.  On Friday me and my brother took Mom to the airport.  She is visiting relatives for a week.  My Uncle is having his 80th birthday party tomorrow.  Sounds like the whole county is invited!  I still have a cold.  I was planning a party for my NAMI friends, but I think I will postpone it 'til next week.

I pretty much worked out what I have to do for my Interfaith degree.  Alternative coursework (creative) for the rest of my classes, some electives, and a Master's Thesis, also creative.  Every time I think of applying to a new program of study I slap my hand because I just can't handle the coursework.  I may have a job one of these days.  Anything is possible!  I finally registered for Runes 5 and the year-long I-Ching class. That should take care of most of Divination, except for one class and the practicum.  If the I-Ching class is not a go I'm going to unregister from it. I can only do so much at my own pace.  I need deadlines!
