Drowning in Work

Well hello there blog reading people!

I've been delinquent in my blogging duties. It has now been two weeks since my last post and I am not exactly sure how to handle that. It's been a busy two weeks and I'm still not over the hill. I'm going to be working on homework all weekend and it looks like a perfect rainy weekend to do so. I do feel bad that it's Sib's and Kids weekend here on campus and there is some good rain coming down, but then again, I don't have my sibs here with me so no big deal.

Zac (16) is going to his Junior Prom tonight (Saturday, April 14, 2012). I feel so old. He looks good though, he sent me pictures of himself in his tux and the pretty blue shirt thing... I'm sure him and his girlfriend will look amazing together and have a great night overall.

So let's see what I can tell you about what's been going on in my life...

Two weekends ago (Easter Weekend), Cassi came over and we had a bunch of fun and shenanigans. We watched movies and went up town and ate pizza....I got my ears pierced again as my own self-easter gift... We even made a funny video or five that I was going to post on here when I recieved them from Cassi but I guess you'll just have to go without and trust me when I tell you how silly they were.

We had a good time.

Easter Sunday, I went to my Aunt Jodie and Uncle Scot's house for Easter lunch. I'm really happy that I got to join them not only for the great food but the feeling of family. I miss mine and sometimes it's just good to feel like you belong there somehow. Like these people actually care if you're happy or not.

They sent me back to college with a whole bunch of goodies, including ham and mashed potatoes which I will be finishing off this weekend.

This past week has been so full of homework and things that I'm starting to think that you really might be able to drown in things that need to get done.... I have to get lots of things done this weekend, including a research paper on Paganism, an oral presentation about Brazil and Paraguay, a proposal for a paper for Latin American Literature, Economics homework, and a Geography reaction to a video sort of thing. I've been working on the research paper lately and it's nearly there. Two more pages to hit the page requirement and I still haven't written the counterargument so I should have that done today.

I'm really close to finishing a novel too. I think that there is like a maximum of three chapters left to be written before I call it finished for sure, but the end is in sight and I'm feeling good about it.

I even did a bit of poetry one morning when I was in between classes. I'm not sure how it came out but it did and I think I like it. Maybe I'll post it on my other blog later.

Still no word on the Wales trip. I had to get a copy of my passport to the Study Abroad Office this past Tuesday (4/10), but there was still no word from Aberystwyth as of this morning when I checked my e-mail. I'm starting to get even more frustrated as the days go by and I've heard nothing. I just want to know, yes or no, so that I can plan farther ahead than this summer.

I'm not sure what else to write at the moment. I didn't have the greatest of weeks and I have a ton of homework to do. My friends (like Ginny and Lindsey) have been a great help in keeping me happy and so has a different ray of sunshine that I'm going to keep to myself for now. If it grows into something then I'll be sure to let you know.

As always,

Blessed Be
