Well I'm currently on spring break. I love colledge and grad. school where you get both a spring and an Easter break. Of course I have to work on papers and stuff, but that's only really a problem when I have writer's block. Besides papers I also have Latin to work on. Now that's really fun. I find I have the easiest time reading and translating when I don't focuse too much on what I'm doing. For my Latin class we're reading Horus's satires. Those can be really fun and funny. That's about it.

Well it's been a crazy couple of weeks. My feance now has a job in Chicago and we have an appartment near school for me. We've been working on getting things moved in and set up, like getting electric, cable, internet access, and a phone line. Then of course I still have classes and wedding stuff to do. This past Sat. I presented a paper at a confrence. I was scared silly. I'm working on finishing up a paper and finishing reserch for another paper. Then I have another wedding shower to go to this Sat. (It's the second of three that is being thrown for me.) Then of course there was some trouble with the bridesmaid dresses. And I don't know if all the groom's me have ordered their tuxes yet. I can't do anything about it. Well that's a summary of what has been going on in my life.

I'm estactick right now. My feancie had a job interview today and he got offered the job on the spot. whee I'm so happy. I'm now waiting for him to get back so we can do some appartment hunting and so I can congradulate him in person. xd This so takes a lot of stress off of me. Once we have an appartment I will only have to foucse on classes and wedding planning. 3nodding I'm just thrilled. whee In fact the only emoticon I can find that's even close to how I feel is rofl rofl rofl . So I say it again rofl rofl rofl And now I'm going to do the happy dance. ~dances~

Well I'm just goofing around here on Gaia. I'm also kind of working on a paper as well. It's like 95% done. The main problem with it is that I have to look at a map that is faded and someone did a bad job of scanning it into a computer. So now a lot of the letters are squished together and illegible. As to the whole faded part there is an excuse for that. The map is about 900 years old. I think it's kind of cool despite the problems with reading it. Oh well.

Well I'm in kind of a strange mood. I have several papers to work on and a test to study for, but I'm not all that worried about any of it.

On another note. I finally got enough gold to get my housing up grade. I love it. Now I'm trying to get the things I have on my wish list. I have most if not all of the housing items I wanted. Now all I need is to get the clothes, and the bonzi tree.

Yet another bit of random Gaia news is that I got donation letters for myself and my feancie. He's still excited over getting the puppie. It's almost scary. confused

As for my avie's look, well I'm quite pleased with how things are going. The main reason I have so many things on my wish list is because I like to be able to change how my avie looks. I have quite a few outfits for her, and some look awsome. There are a few things that I don't change with my avie. The forhead jewle, the fox ears and tail, and now the glasses are all features that I won't be changing. Though I'm now looking into changing my avie's hair. I'm thinking it's about time she got a new hair style.

Well I'm doing even better now. What snapped me out of it? question Well, oddly enough, working on a paper. This may sound odd to some of you out there, but I enjoy writing papers. 3nodding Now what makes this one so special is that I'm working with maps drawing during the Middle Ages. whee This is fun because they are compleatly different from our moddern maps. They also often have fun little pictures in them. They're mostly in the areas denoted as the ocean, but they're still fun. biggrin The only real problem I'm having with this progect is that both of the maps are faded a bit and the words are difficult to read. sad No worries though. All I need is good lighting and a magnifying glass. xd Such fun. 3nodding

Well I'm a bit better now. Still not great, but a bit more pirky than before. Though I kind of waisted most of the day by taking a nap. I have a good reason, though. I had a horible headach. I still have it but it's not as bad as it was before. Right now I'm trying to decide weather to have something to eat or to start work on a paper. I'm kind of leaning towards the paper a bit, but I still don't know. Part of my feeling down is because of the phrasing of the e-mail I got telling me that I didn't get the assistantship. It's amazing how wording something slightly wrong can give something a second unintended meaning. It helps that I know I don't do very well on tests, papers, and filling things out for applications yet I can talk circles around someone on many historical topics. Of course my lowest grades tend to be B-'s, but with how much I have stored up in my head I should be making A's without breaking a sweat. It's just that I don't do very well on tests and I never manage to write a paper exactly to my teacher's liking. Oh well.

I'm better than I was Monday evening, but I'm still kind of down about the assistantship thing. I think part of it is because of how the e-mail was written. The phrasing was a bit off and made it sound like I wasn't as qualified or as smart as the other applicants. cry Yesterday I was so lethargick. I didn't want to do anything. I didn't even want to take a nap. I'm not quite so bad today, but I'm still rather down. I don't know how long I'll be in this funk. The worst part of it is that at times I feel as though I'm about to start crying at the drop of a hat. I don't know. I have to start getting ready for class soon.

That's how I feel right now. I woke up at about 5:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I puttered around on a couple of other websites before coming here. I really don't know what I'm going to do today. I know I have class work to do, but I also really don't feel like doing it. At least I don't have class until 7 p.m. Maybe tonight we'll actually get out of class early or on time for once instead of late like always.
