Taking leave...

...of my senses!
Nah, but I will be seriously neglecting my blogs (yes, all three) until after finals.

New blog news!!!

I dropped "My Pretty Excuses" blog because I didn't like it so very much. However, I have added a new one. "At Least 100 Words Baked Fresh Daily" is the new one which is devoted to motivating me to write at least 100 words per day of new material. We perfect our arts, gifts, and talents through the pursuit of their perfections...correct? The longer works and those for school will still be posted on "These Words Etched In Dust", and I may consider adding my forced essays for my classes to that one...maybe. But, my rambling bits of opinionated nonsense can still be found here. Anyway....both new and old can be reached by clicking on those buttons over there -->

Blarghhhh....

        Perhaps I have bitten off a great deal more than I can reasonably masticate.
        I have six classes right now: British Lit I, World Lit I, Creative Writing, College Algebra, Humanities I, and Intro to Sociology. And it's not like I do poorly in those classes, last I checked, I had an A average in all but math. Beyond all of that, I also work: in the library at night (a job I love), as a tutor between classes (also a job I love), and at Little Caesar's on the weekends (a job that I used to love).
       I am now very reasonably exhausted, so one would think I had perhaps learned my lesson on pushing myself to my breaking point. Nope, not so much. I an currently signed up for eight classes for the rapidly approaching spring semester. One of those (Fundamentals of Education) I will definitely be dropping. The other seven: British Lit II, World Lit II, American Lit II, Women's Lit, Voice for Performance, Walk-Jog-Run, and Aerobics I will still be taking. Obviously, I have learned nothing.

Bark damnit!

No, I'm not racist, I'm a self-loathing speciest!
Prepare thyself...this be a ranting moment.......................

So, have you ever been driving to no where in particular and your sweet and innocent little car suddenly starts emitting these dreadful metallic scraping sounds from beneath it's poor old hood? I have. Sadly, one night it grew silent. As is typical of my Irish luck (my Great Gran was an Irish import, and she liked to reminded all of us that when they referred to the "Luck of the Irish," they were not referring to good luck and "only an American who's had it too good for too long would claim elsewise!") when she (my car, not gran) began to run silent, I knew all was lost. $300+ dollars later, and the mechanic said my darling little Escort was fixed......
