In 3 hours, I managed to type out 5,000 words out from my manuscript. 18 pages, DONE. So, I should probably write for about 1 more month, and then start picking and choosing, editing, and formatting the manuscript. but 2/3 of the raw is complete. Phew!
Besides that, I went to the Ash Wednesday service, and it was nice. Right before that, I managed to splurt out a page of notes from Bible study, so I'm going to try to do this every day and see how much insight I can get, because so far it has been wonderful.
Work is going ok. Still trying to get the exact pace I should be at, and still learning new stuff to do.
I have to get Mushu to the groomers' pretty soon, he's looking pretty scraggly...
I wish I had some dancing to do....

White Cinnamon Frapuccino

Updates: so, I landed the job w/Starbucks, and will be starting off as a barista, and then they will try to get me up to shift supervisor soon enough. And I still have my other job, so I just work that one saturdays. So, now I'll be working full time, yay!

I've been trying to get back into writing for my manuscript, and it's been going well. I think I have around like 50? poems now...

I do kind of miss school, but I've also been enjoying this brief period of being laid back. So, even though some things were challenging, it was like a mini-vacation. (A really cold, snowy one, though...)

Anime I'm currently watching: Blood+, Kimi ni Todoke season 2, Starry Sky, Yumekui Merry
I got finished with REC, Working!!, Paranoia Agent, Spice and Wolf


I've been working out a lot more (like 1 hr 3x a week), but, I haven't really been eating all that well, so... no progress, lol.

I got a button that says "OMG! A DOUBLE RAINBOW!" and another that says "DO NOT WANT". Now I'm just wondering what to put them on.

So yeah, that's it for now....

Self Resentment

I am an idiot. When it comes to schoolwork, I am an absolute imbecile. Anyway, so it's 5 a.m. on Friday. I have a test today at 2, and in the meantime I will be writing several articles and papers that I should have done in the semester. but nooooo.... I had to wait until the absolute last day. I don't know what's wrong with me. So, some good news, I will be moving into a bigger room. It's in the same apt, but just across the way. I was thinking for a bit, maybe it wasn't worth it, because it's a little more expensive, but then I look back at my cramped little room, and I'm like... well... I do like more room. But then, now since I'm not at school it's not like I'm gonna need the study room and stuff. Maybe I should double it as an office? lol. right... for what? Anyway, I need a full time job. I have a part time right now, but I want a full-time to where I'll actually be gaining experience for stuff. I just don't know what to do. And then I have that whole -still trying to find a literary agent- thing to work on. And I haven't been able to find a ride to the airport, so I guess I'll just have to park there. Agh. I'm just not really happy with myself right now.

Like A Boss

I feel like I have my own private office. I'm in the library at 2:18 a.m. and almost no one is here, so I'm at the very very end In one of these cubicle-things that has a door and everything that's usually used for groups. I have my music playing, and everything just sprawled out on the table. I'm using the chairs like a lounger and all that as well. Yeah, I could get used to this. Anyway... can't get to sleep, and I have work at 8 a.m. tomorrow, so I'll probably stay here til like 4 a.m. max. I'm also trying to be constructive an write poetry, or try to get through a bit of literary theory or a Dawkin's book I brought with me. I think I'm in a writing rut. I'm writing about the same thing basically. It manifests itself in different ways, with slightly different tones, but they're practically about the same thing. I think I might consolidate these into one ginormous poem, but I don't know if that will defeat the purpose of what they actually represent or not. Hm... So... yeah... just wanted to report in a bit since I'm just kinda fiddling the night away.
