It's so nice to have my internets back, even if I have less time to browse.
My Trip
My trip went pretty well. Traffic wasn't too bad, and the animals did well despite early set-backs. Jack was hell to get back into his crate (3 people and Mommy to get him in, the stubborn brute), and while he hated Mom for a while, he recently became more loving to her. He's also more loving to me, which I haven't understood yet.
I also went this past weekend to my other grandmother's house. The kids (my cousins) weren't too bad this time, but they're growing up so fast! They're both in middle school now, and when I went up yesterday (next paragraph) I gave her tips for surviving middle school (never give away your gum, or your favorite pen/pencil). It was a nice change for those last few weeks of vacation, but I'm still sad to be back.
I had to go back up there yesterday for a visitation/viewing/wake (whatever you want to call it). Backstory: My mom grew up in a tight, church-based friend group. One of them has a son a year older than me, and he passed away in a car accident. Moral of the story: wear your f-n seat belt. The worst part: Some of his friends (or whoever) visited their house Tuesday night, and when they drove past, they weren't wearing their seat belt. * continuous epic face palm* Wow, our generation learns things so fast. Seriously, people, wear your seat belt.
Writing
I haven't submitted anything yet (I'll start next week, I promise), but I haven't told anyone how my writing's been going either (for the most part).
Summer Goal: 50,000 words per month (i.e. May, June, & July)
Mid-Summer Goal: 300,000 words (I reached over 100 for May and almost 100 for June, so the new goal became 300K)
Current Amount: 300,000+
I had to get 30,000 done in August to meet this goal, so now I need 50K for August to have a perfect summer.
New Goal: 1,000,000 words in 2012
Wish me luck, and good luck to anyone with their own goals, be they writing or otherwise.
School
Well Tuesday sucked just a little, but it's not looking too bad. Not only did I find somewhere to park both days, I haven't reached megabitch mode yet, so things are looking up. As long as I don't have to drive to school in severe thunderstorms anymore, I'll be fine (and for those I already mentioned this to: Yes, it was rated a severe storm. I think even non-weather buffs could've figured that one out. If it's pitch black at a mid-morning time, something's messed up).
And for those of you who start school soon, my sympathies
I just wanted to have a purple bullet because that's my favorite color.
Yep, that's about it. I'll be submitting some pieces soon though, so keep your eyes open^^
Random Update and Shameless Art Promotion
I just felt like writing a journal today, just something simple. It's starting to get cooler here, so numerous places are still running their air conditioning despite the good temperatures. So while I'm trapped inside staring at the gorgeous day outside my window (well, the only window I have right now just looks out into the building itself:grump: I want to see the sun:rage:), I get to freeze to death. Thank you lovely maintenance people; you make my :censored: day.
But I guess I do have some updating. I have been on a HUGE fan fiction kick. Because dA doesn't have a good chapter setup yet, I'm posting everything on fanfiction.net under the
Surgery Fun
My father had back surgery last Wednesday so life has been rather fun for me. I cut two of my classes to come home and take care of things, but they didn't get home until the next evening. He had to be admitted to the hospital, which I didn't find out until after 8 o'clock the first night, and they didn't release him until after 8 the next night (my mom was with him the entire time, which is why I couldn't find anything out for so long). I spent two days completely alone, it felt like, running the house by myself (I'm an only child, so it was just the animals and me. Most of the animals were fine, but the squirrels have been bullying me, the
Summer's Over--boo
I hope everyone had a great summer. I'm finally back from my seemingly infinite break. Believe me, I loved sleeping until 10:30 and playing computer/video games and spending time with my boyfriend. But two whole months of being in the house all day with just those things to do (and my boyfriend had class all summer so I'd have to wait for him to come home at five with my mom because his dad refused to fix their car....). I'm really surprised I didn't go crazy, to be honest with you. It's nice but I'm glad to be back. And I got an awesomesauce parking space in the shade:D:squee::party: Believe me, when it's 90+ degrees outside and your car is
Gone for the summer
I've actually been around for the last few weeks, but I have been SWAMPED with work. After today--hopefully--, I'll be off for the summer, with 2 quick A's from my classes. It's been difficult, and I'm so exhausted right now, but at least it's almost over.
I will be on hiatus until August.
Hopefully I'll get to produce some art this summer, but we'll see. I've got a few novels I want to work on, but I have a few computer games on their way, so I might do that instead. Or I might have to get a job--we'll see.
I wish I was a little more active on here, but things happen. Hopefully all of you will be around when I come back in August. I can't
