Final grades

Well, its been awhile, hasnt it. I've been busy, what with Mom here and her giant dog, the kids getting out of school this week and this damn x-mas thing. sheeesh. We 're also working like crazy to get the house ready to sell. Joe thinks it wont ever sell, I think it will be sold in two weeks at the most. The weather was good until today, got cold and windy. Its still only 58, not bad for Dec.

Gotta run.

Oh yeah, got my final grades today. All A's. Of course.

Decompressing

I've had the weekend to rest and I feel marginally more human.  On Saturday I sat at the computer, lost, feeling like I should be pounding out my daily word count. I'm thinking of a premise for a childrens book, it will be shorter and have many more pictures so it shouldnt take me 30 days this time.

This is my last week of classes, we'll be reviewing and wasting time (which is fine with me).  Psychology has no written exam, instead we have to give a 3-5 minutes speech to the rest of the class about what we have learned. Piece o cake. English has an exam but we begged and it will be a take home (she is a real sucker).  This Friday she gives us a subject and next week we turn in the completed paper. Another piece o cake.  Computer has an online exam, 50 multiple choice.  She'll be posting the questions on Saturday, we dont have to take the actual test until Thursday.  Do I have to say it? Cake.  MATH.....the killer.  Algebra will be hard. The exam is on everything we've done all semester.  Most of it I'm cool with except for maybe the last 5 weeks, much harder stuff.  My grade is high so even if I flunk the final I'll get a B.  I'm not flunking the final. So there you have it, the next two weeks of my life and then its XMAS BREAK!  School doesnt start again until Jan. 15. Woo-Hoo.

See ya! I just started The Demon-Haunted World by Sagan and its soooo good.  I'll write again soon!

SUCCESS! and then I collapse.

Yes, many military people are celebrating my novel's conclusion. Wheeeee!

So the book is done. The title is : A World Within. It's approximately 53,000 words long and that comes out to about 210 pages.  I feel like I gave birth. I tried to print it out on my printer and the ink ran out. So I kinda printed it at school. I had to sneak because you're not supposed to print more than 20 pages in one sitting. HA! Oh well. Its done and this weekend I'm vegetating.

Thats it for now. I gotta cook.
