So, it's been awhile my devious deviants. I've had just tooooo much going on.

*Started school- taking one class, so it can't be all that bad, right? No. It's not. But regardless I'm making things ten times worse with my horrible lack of priorities. World History, by the way. Teacher is "eh"--has really weird attendance policies, sooo yeah. Tall. Wears a newsboy hat every day. Speaks rather quietly, so if the AC is on, it's sometimes hard to hear...the material is certainly interesting, but I think I could read the textbook on my own without lecture and I'd do fine anyway. Made 100 on my first test, but should've made a 90--he did a crazy grading curve. Yay!

*Started my new job as a medical transcriptionist. I love it! It is so flexible and my employers are the nicest, most lenient people. Basically, I go pick up audio tapes (microcassettes, actually) at the doctor's office and type them up on the compy at home. It's great fun, especially since I get to draw on all of that awesome medical terminology and knowledge I have...I'm learning new things every day, though. I pick up the work M/W/F and drop off on those days as well--constantly a cycle. I have been doing badly in the way of getting them there during their office hours (they leave early on Wed. and otherwise around 3-4) but they have no problem leaving them on the door for me. I'm trying to get better about juggling life, school and work so that I WILL get them there during office hours, because I always feel better seeing the secretary's face and physically handing it to her. Yah.

*Youtube. Youtubeyoutubeyoutube. I have been addicted to it for the last week or so, and I am truly not proud about this. I have this thing where I feel the need to watch every video every made by someone when I discover them on youtube, from the beginning of their account...and that takes time. A lot of time. Especially when you're looking at 3-5 people simultaneously. I am very aware of the fact that my priorities have been screwy lately and it's just killing my parents to sit back and watch me fail. I've pretty much narrowed down the issue to this-- I'm attempting to fill a hole in my life that I think youtubers can fill. They can't. As much enjoyment as I get out of watching them and their hilarious blogs, it just won't cut it. I need the Lord. I need Him back in my life like nobody's business. Lack of prayer, Bible time...anything resembling an effort to deepen my relationship with Him is what's keeping me in this rut. The sooner I'm willing to surrender my life and "MY" time schedule to Him, the sooner I will be doing the things I actually want to do -- dig into His word, be better about getting my work in on time, spend more time studying simply to LEARN, connect with my bestie as she's far away right now...spend less time on the internet.

It's possible. I can do it, with His help.


That's an update right thur. I need to get off here and go catch up on chores I've been putting off lately...before my momma does them and charges me money. Yep, she does that.

OH! Before I go. This semester I get to visit my bestie in CO as she's up there...she's been there most of this semester so far and prob. will be there a lot of the spring too? I dunno. It's just been hard with her gone, because not only did she move away, but also my sista (my only sib who's 3 years older than me and one of my bestest friends/enemies) finally moved to her college-- not on campus, but close. She's been commuting for awhile and finally got the resources together to make the move. Therefore, two very important peeps in my life are elsewhere and it's hard. The Lord has blessed me with new friends, however, to ease the pain. BUTTT I'm still super excited about visiting ~LadyoftheAir

I'm also visiting another close friend in CHICAGOOOO in Novemba! I am so pumped about that as well! I've never been to Chicago, much less anywhere that awesome or far away (been to Tennessee and South Dakota, but that's about it) so it should be totally cool. I'm flying on my own for the first time too, for both of these trips. Pray for safety and non-hyperventilation!

That's it, my lovelies. Tata!

P.S. I FINALLY FINISHED THAT MAI COLORIZATION I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT. It's been sitting around for months, and the other day as I listened to Owl City (one of my new fave thangs), I felt all inspired and creative so I finished it off. As soon as I get my scanner workin' I'll post it! Yay!


And this. Just because I can. And I find it beautiful. I know the girl looks naked (she's not) and I'm not diggin' that so much, but regardless the colors/contrast/reds are BEAUTIFUL.
