Tomorrow night is my last class of this degree. I’ve fin­ished my project, I’m study­ing for the test. All that is left is to present my research, and take the test, dis­cuss the last two chap­ters of the book. Then I’m done.

Done?

Done.

I don’t know even how to begin to describe what I’m feel­ing right now, every­thing all at once, but mostly uncer­tain. Being in school has been a large part of my life for four years, with very few breaks between semes­ters. No sum­mers off. I don’t know what I’m going to do with­out homework.

It’ll be like rein­vent­ing who I am all over again. Read More?

At the begin­ning of August, Rose of Lifeasrose.ca put up a new post on her blog ask­ing for guest blog­gers who could be funny. Originally, I didn’t even con­sider it, then I decided to give it a shot. I’m not a funny per­son, I’m for­ever being told that I’m too seri­ous, and that I have no sense of humor. It would be a chal­lenge, but I hoped that by writ­ing some­thing I thought was funny, it might be enough.

I spent a week try­ing to think of some­thing, then once I had my topic I spent a few more days writ­ing, and rewrit­ing, try­ing to get it just right. I was finally sat­is­fied with it and emailed it to Rose. She replied that she liked it, and would use it. I was excited. On Sunday, my post appears: Cat Poop.

Rating: 5 out of 5, Would likely read again.

Last Christmas I bought my hus­band a tril­ogy of books on the off chance he’d like to read them. As he devoured the first book, a friend of ours made the com­ment that he was on the last book and loved the series. My hus­band quickly fin­ished the books and promptly started bug­ging me that I just had to read them. Our taste in books are usu­ally noth­ing alike, so I put it off for a while. I finally sat down to read them not too long ago, and fin­ished just the other night.

For a new author, this was a really well writ­ten series. I place it on the level of the Mercedes Lackey books I’ve been into lately, such as the Obsidian Mountain and Enduring Flame Trilogies, and the Valdemar Universe books. Read More?
