Imaginary Deadlines for Real Homework

Easter went well.  I had a rough couple of days on Friday and Saturday, family conflicts.  I'm shifting gears a little bit.  Starting an ecology class this week, self-study.  I think that makes all my courses self-study right now.  I'm doing better with the imaginary Friday (homework) and Sunday (response) deadlines.  I'm so tired today!  My cat threw up hairballs last night, 3 times!  I gave up sleeping after that.  I watched Lilo and Stitch and embroidered.  Went to bed at 5am.

We had our second Crafternoon at church.  This time two ladies joined me.  Last week it was just me and Mom.  It was OK.  I finished two motifs on my jacket of peacock feathers.  I wonder if it's a talent to know how to function when you can't really function.  I know now I can embroider for two hours on five hours of sleep!  I might have to bag the April PAD poems.  I hate giving up.  I've only written 6 and posted 5.  We'll see.

What's more interesting is what I'm not writing about.  Probably.  Not really.  Tease!

Good News

I'm completely finished with New Testament class!  All I'm waiting for is my final grade, then I can sign up for another class.  My best friend, Star, has just started taking classes in computers, online.  I'm so proud of her!  Tonight I finished revising all 24 Rune Poems.  Yay!  I'm planning on self-publishing a book of Rune Poems.  I still have more work to do on it.  I've made major headway.

Spring Semester

I turned in my Luke homework, a poem, process notes and a photo of the Madonna and Child embroidery.  Waiting to hear back.  Shadow Work looks like it's going to be a good class.  I'm tempted to sign up for another class, but I guess I'll wait until I finish New Testament class.  I just have my homework for John to do now.  I read about half the Gospel today.  I'm also taking Ethics and Professional Practice for Divination and the Runes Practicum, but those won't start for awhile. 

I just want to learn everything!  I know I have to pace myself though.  If I take too many classes I get bogged down.  If I do too many go at your own pace classes I don't get much done either.  I've been looking into writing classes, but I'll have to take those in between semesters.  I'm considering doing some more Modern Rituals homework.  I've let that slide over the past year or so.  So not really sure if I should get back into that or not.  I just got stuck at a certain point.  Happens!

St. Patrick's Day

I already turned in part of the Shadow Work homework.  I'm thinking that I'm really going to like that class.  Finished the embroidery for Luke, but stuck for a short story idea based on that particular Gospel. 

It's St. Paddy's Day!  Not feeling so hot.  Stopped raining for awhile at least.  Jean Jeanie's birthday is today.  Her son is visiting from Wyoming.  Will probably spend some time with her tomorrow.  Waiting to hear back from Zinnia about the bake sale and youth group.  I'm having a really busy week.  Posted some Rune information on the Divination group.  I'm getting to be a faster typist.  Finally!

Coffee Fueled

I realize I haven't been blogging very much lately, well, at all.  Tonight I'm fueled by caffeine.  At McDonald's today I drank a tall iced coffee. Very strong, but tasty.  I don't usually have any caffeine at all, so I will probably be up late tonight.  Going through a stressful time right now.  The details won't make anyone feel any better, so I'll keep them to myself. 

I bought some cheap computer speakers today.  They seem to work pretty good so far.  I've been playing on the creativity website where I hang out.  Will probably go back and post some more there tonight. 

Grad school starts in a couple weeks.  I'm waiting to get some books in the mail.  Really looking forward to Spring semester.  I'm in a pretty good mood, but like I said, it's probably a caffeine high.  Better get better at turning homework in on time.

Not making much progress on the Luke gospel homework.  I'm almost finished with the Madonna and Child embroidery.  Can't seem to buckle down and do the reading.  I'm hoping to finish the reading and the writing by the time school starts.  Then all I'll have is John to do.

Well, that's all for now.

Spring Semester Registration

Making progress!  I've turned in homework for Matthew and Mark for New Testament class.  I'm embroidering an apron with religious symbols and words for the craft part of my NT homework.  I'm going to give it to Zinnia for her birthday in early fall.  I registered for my Spring classes already.  I'm taking Ethics and Professional Practice, Divination Practicum (Runes) and Shadow Work, which is a Shamanism class, the book looks good for that one.  Plus another student at school who got her degree already is teaching it.  I'm so competitive.  OK, I'm not that competitive. I'm doing so much independent work, I feel like I'm just competing against myself most of the time. I'm sure Ruby knows her stuff!

I'm still waiting to hear about Peer Counseling Training.  There's a class coming up.

Things at home are improving.  I'm getting along better with my family.  I wish I saw more of Star.  She's got a new life now with her boyfriend, Yeti.  He is tall!  :)
