- 11:34 wow- first a history prof of mine dies and now the faculty advisor for one of my honor societies dies. WTF potsdam #
Yeah, I've been living here for almost a whole month (it'll be a full month on Tuesday), and I feel like an entirely different person. Maybe I am a different person. Who knows.
Lots of good things have been happening. I got back into grad school, I'm living in a nicer place, and I've got my Miss Fishy back. I'm learning all sorts of new things about computers, and brushing up on my Latin and French, and hopefully in the fall I'll have a job again. I'm working out again, and eating better, and even taking my vitamins, heheh.
I think this is where I need to be right now. In a good place, doing wonderful things.

- 12:09 blah. I feel so run down today... #
- 16:43 Ugh. I hate computer problems a lot #
- 21:17 yaay, the computer is recognizing the 160 gig HD. now it's time for law and orders. might take a walk tomorrow! :) #

nomnomchuupie, who tutored for her classes and worked as a teacher assistant in one of her classes.) Professor Nelson, who taught two of the history classes I took, was found dead in her apartment this morning, according to an email I got a little while ago. I wonder what happened to her. Bryan and I are going to go the services, when they're announced. Ugh. Today was such a nice day, and this wasn't the way I wanted it to end. :(
- 20:40 ahhhh, I should go to the gym tomorrow- tonight was a lazy night #
- 22:38 @panzertron haha, sorta - in class we were messing around in blender and our prof joked that we all just made the worst game evar #
- 12:21 so is it sad that i'm excited about going back to school again? cuz seriously, at this point i can't imagine myself NOT in school #
- 18:05 haha, i just made the worst video game evar #
- 18:05 also, i think @rin_hime and @panzertron need hugs. so- *hugs* #
I got my new student ID and meal plan taken care of. (I think it's kinda funny that I look even younger on my ID than I did when I started 10 years ago. WTF.) All Financial Aid needed was a letter stating that I'm taking classes half time this semester. I probably won't have a job this semester, but that will leave me more time to work on my classes. I have wonderful Kit to make sure I'm taking care of myself, and to have great discussions with, I have Morgan to chat about all sorts of things with, and I have Bryan to support me through everything. I've got wonderful friends, I've got a nice computer, and life is very good right now.
I think I kicked the depression monster's ass. :D

Because holy shit, not only am I back in grad school, but I start classes today. TODAY. I've got Multimedia Production this afternoon in my favorite computer lab in the entire school (Satterlee 300 for the two people who read this who'll actually know what I'm talking about), and tomorrow night is Advanced Web Page Development (also in Satterlee 300). I'm a little worried about that class - I mean, I taught myself HTML, and that was back in 1998. I'm afraid it's going to be like that time when my advisor stuck me in French 103 after not having taken any French in 3 years. (I shouldn't be so worried, though! I'm at least using my HTML knowledge, unlike French where it just sat in the back of my head for years!)
The next thing that has to fall into place is financial aid. Even with them screwing me around with taking money from my loans to pay me with 'work study' money, I should at least have some money left over to take six credit hours. (And if not, hopefully my dad might help me)
I need to remember to not be so damn hard on myself this time around. Everything I do is NOT garbage, and this WILL lead to a job you absolutely enjoy. :D

- 16:14 omg I am back in grad school and starting classes tomorrow. #
Today's my first day of sitting in on Latin 2. I hope I can remember enough Latin to actually get through the course. Granted, I'm not taking it for a grade, but still, it'd be nice to actually understand what's going on. It's silly, but I'm a little conflicted as to where I should sit in class. Usually, when Bryan and I took Latin, we'd sit right up front so we could see what's going on. (Oh lord, it's going to be very strange taking Latin without Bryan.) But I'm just sitting in on the class, I've absorbed all the knowledge already... so should I sit in the back? I have no idea. I'll ask Magistra when I get to class.
Also, I'm going to see about getting a gym membership. If I can't afford it, I may just sneak into the fieldhouse and walk a few miles after Latin. I'll see how things go. I definitely need to budget things out so I can figure out what I can and can't afford on unemployment.

I'm going to start chronicling my opinions on these books, and I'm going to set up a filter for that, because I'm not sure how many of my friends here want to hear me ramble about books. If you want on the filter, a simple comment will get you on!
After a year and a half break of reading from the list, I'm starting back up with Dracula by Bram Stoker. I've read the tiny excerpt at the beginning of the book so far (before I stopped because I got inspired to keep track of all these ramblings), but from what I can see, this is a book about REAL vampires. Not fluffy, showy, sparkly vampires. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds!
- 11:55 @Rin_Hime oh man, ouch. that's 37 gigs of sailor moon. i'm half tempted to send you my external drive so you can copy it off there #

Next week I start Latin 2 again. At least that'll keep me busy.
Other than that, I've got nothing for you. Maybe later I'll be more entertaining.

rin, another starred Morgan. (Sorry, Bry, I don't think you were in them.)Dream One: In the first dream, Rin and I got married! :D At the circus, I think. o_O It was... interesting. And pleasant. And I think that because I married Rin, I also ended up married to Panzer, too. (Since you can't has a Rin without a Panzer and all.)
Dream Two: I guess Morgan wasn't really actually present in this dream. I was in an attic somewhere, looking through a collection of books I had when I was a kid, and I found one that I remember had writing in it from someone who owned it before. Apparently it was Morgan's, when he was a kid, and all the writing and drawings in it were his. I remember saying, "This explains everything! I knew Morgan before I even met him!" I don't know what the everything it was explaining was, but eh. Who knows.
Today, I'm going to mail my Paperback Swap books out, and work on another pillow (maybe I'll finish the Doctor today), and work on my French. And read "The 48 Laws of Power". It's a very, very interesting book, and I'm only two chapters in so far. I like how it uses historical examples to get its point across.
Oh, and trying to tag entries on the iPod? IMPOSSIBLE. It's so annoying. I gave up trying to tag last night's entry.
