I am REALLY looking forward to tax day...
Apr. 9th, 2018 11:31 amFor the past couple weeks, I've been feeling like I am perpetually falling behind on my life and racing to catch up.
Fortunately, I am pretty good at last-minute catching up. But I would like to not put myself in a position where I have to exercise that skill. *wry*
Anyway, I did manage to participate in last week's Anthro discussion, and both write and record myself delivering my own fake eulogy for my Communications class, which was interesting. (I now have a YouTube channel. It has precisely two videos: one test video, which is private, and the eulogy, which is unlisted. Also it's under my legal name so no, I am not linking anything.) Hopefully this week I will be able to get back ahead on my readings, as well as participate in the discussion forums for both classes.
I have an advisor appointment on Thursday to discuss my summer and fall course options, and get approval for my choices, after which I will talk to the financial aid people about funding because the documents they've mailed me make increasingly less sense. *sigh*
In church news, I am catching up on some stewardship committee obligations, which kind of fell by the wayside last week. I may end up running a little behind on a few until Thursday and/or Saturday, but a few days behind is much better than two weeks behind. This coming Sunday is the installation for Rev. Weis, followed by a big congregational party/lunch, which should hopefully be fun and not eat too much of my time. (I am on cleanup duty, surprising no one.)
In writing news, this morning I did extensive edits on the pinch hit I picked up for an unnamed exchange, so as to shape a sort of minimally functional "and some people did some stuff" thing into a story that both had better character depth and that actually made significant thematic gestures toward the reason for the exchange. I have signed up for WIP Big Bang. And for the rest of April, I am going to get back to my FTH fic, which has been tragically languishing again while I got swamped by life.
