Sweet freedom!

So I'm finally done for the semester! Which means I only have one semester left of undergrad!! :w00t: Hellz yeah!!

This is going to be the first break where I don't really have much to do for a job, so I'm hoping that I can use the time (even though the break is a lot shorter this year than it has been in the past T_T) to get a ton of writing done. Expect the Barmaid's Like Their Sleep to be completed and posted at the very least. And if I'm lucky, an updated version of Kidnapped by Fairies, as well as the beginnings of a new story or two floating around in my mind. I'm also hoping to get a ton of work done on MAC, and if I do and I'm not feeling paranoid about sharing it, I may even post snippets. Of course that assumes that everyone who knows me does as I've asked them and says "Write! Bitotch, write!" whenever I'm displaying my typical signs of short attention span. ;)

I still haven't finished my graduate school applications yet, and I'm debating taking a semester off before going into grad school so that 1) I have a freaking break from school! and 2) My hubby and I can go to Poland with his sister and her husband (he's Polish). I've never really traveled very far before, and I've never been on a plane, so it should prove interesting at least ;) I'm just worried that if I take a break, I won't want to go back...

Anywho, I hope everyone has Happy Holidays and that people get good presents. :)

AAAAHHHHHHH!

News
*screams*
Senior year sucks, with a capital s. I have about 5 days to read 10 EBSCO articles (most which seem to be at least 15 pgs), 2 chapters in a book, another full book for an outline for my final research paper for one class, finish a book for another class, read some chapters of several others for my other classes, and find another topic to do for another research paper. Ont op of that I have to edit my manuscript to submit for my grad school applications, which I haven't gotten time to work on and I still need a personal essay for both and a critical essay for another. To say that I am stressed is an understatement of epic proportions. *sigh*
Also, money sucks, especially when you have bills to pay and your student loan company which is seriously retarded is trying to make you pay even more!
Bonus, I get to have a pretty Journal skin for once, and probably the only time I'll have one! I think DA should keep the free journal skins for not subscribed members; the premium members can get special ones, but we should at least get free ones too!

Because of all of said icky work above, I haven't gotten any writing done, at all since August that wasn't academic in nature. :( I have thought of new story ideas and where I want MAC (Mo Anam Cara) to go. I just hope I can get it out on paper the way I want! I've got new ideas for Kidnapped by Faeries, so if you're a fan of it in my gallery, be warned, there will be some big changes whenever I have a minute to write something I want to write. :mwahaha: And my roommate :iconluvbugbub03: is doing an illustration for me for it! :) I've seen bits of the lineart, and it's purty! (I like getting drawings, what can I say). I was going to hold a writing contest, but that will have to wait if anyone was looking forward to it, I'm sorry! I'm hoping to get more into some illustrations of my own, which probably won't happen too much until next semester when I get to take a studio art class. I can't decide which story I want to illustrate yet, so there will probably be a bunch of random ones, lol!

...and I lose my remaining sanity.

It's only the third week, and I've already got more homework than I have time for (currently I'm taking 6 300 level courses, all but one of which is reading heavy). And I've already made the decision to drop a class for the first time in my life. But, it's a boring one and I can always take another psych course over a winter semester. I am on track to graduate in May (there was some concern over that, which is why I have to take 6 classes this semester).
I'm also trying to get all of my stuff together to start applying for Grad school and practicing for the GRE.

In other words I'm this close to banging my head against a wall.

I did buy a new bunny! She's so cute! :) She's black and white and her name is Maple.

Wheeeee!

  • Playing: with my new tablet!
I'm back from the wedding (which considering a lot went not as it was supposed to, went wonderfully and I loved it and was grinning like an idiot the whole day) and the honeymoon (during which all of our pets somehow got out of their enclosures and managed to eat between the 3 of them (2 degus and one bunny) all but one of the computer cords, 2 lamps, one window fan, one hand held vacuum, a cord for the DVD player and one for my gamecube). Fun times!

Anywho, I'm back on, and hopefully, since I'm feeling a writing/art bug biting at me, I'll have more to post. Especially since I just got my first tablet- a wacom Bamboo! I'm so excited, and it can easily amuse me for hours as I try to use it, lol :giggle:

So to start this off, I've been tagged by :iconluvbugbub03: to offer 10 free sketches. I can't see anyone wanting them really, but if you do, let me know. I think since 'sketch' could mean a lot of things, I'll offer 2 options- you can get a drawn sketch of a char, or if you have a drawing and the character needs a background story, you can send me a link to a picture of said character, with a bit of information about them, and I'll write up some kind of background/character bio for you! :D

Gonna get married, b back soon
