Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!

My family is having a huge party I'm not going to because it is thirteen hundred miles away, but I'm sure they'll have a lot of fun, and I did contribute, I sent pumpkin and skull ice cube trays, which apparently were a big hit. (past tense because they've been making ice in them for this party for almost a month)

And I'm apartment hunting. I absolutely hate moving. I was planning to stay in my current apartment until I left Utah, or other life circumstances occurred, but alas, the building is falling apart and the city told the landlords they have to start renovations by December 1st.

I've decided to scrap the alphabet idea as a continuing series. Yes, the next in the alphabet series will be B, but not right now.

I was reading over my blog the other day, from start to finish, and it seems to me that I only post when in bad moods. Which is probably the point of blogging, but not actually reflective of my life. Well, maybe the number of times church is referenced is, but not the sad, depressed part.

I was elected to Diocesan Council yesterday, so that should make my life more interesting. And adds yet another church-related activity to my life. I think I'm developing a church problem. Well, not a problem, but I am starting to see how my life is orienting itself.

I also need to learn how to write history papers, since they are apparently not written in the same way as english papers. I think my life is headed in the wrong direction for someone who is not a fan of writing. There are no careers coming out of Gender Studies that I can think of that do not involve lots of writing, and probably grad school of some sort. But that's okay. If writing is what it takes, that's what I'll do.

Also, I do now have a guitar and am learning to play it. And my singing is definitely improving being in choir (yes, at church) which is always on the up and up.

brought to you by the letter A

I think I'm going to do an alphabet series again, like I did that one time on my Xanga, but more expanded. So today's post is brought to you by the letter A.

A is for April, airplanes, alliances, appeals, aid, accidents and academics.

April is who I am, who I have been, and who I will be. There isn't really any way around that. But hey, that's cool. Don't you know I can't be anybody else, even if I wanted to give it a try. It's hard enough to be me, but it would be much harder to not be me.

Airplanes I plan to ride in plenty this spring, going to Chicago and San Francisco, and maybe later in the year to Montreal. I like Utah, but it's good to get out now and again, and I definitely have plans for that in the up and coming future. And the airplane to take me to Texas to see my family this winter where I will likely tell the truth that has been dividing us.

Alliances just because it sounded cool, and hey, allies are a good thing.

Appeals and Aid go together, in that I am attempting to appeal to the office of financial aid to let me apply for some.

Accidents for that run-in I had last week with the hot-glue gun. They weren't joking when they named them hot. The project is turning out awesomely however, so it's definitely worth it.

Academics. Oh school how I love thee enough to be trying to get out as fast as possible. It would be much faster if I could get financial aid and go to school full-time. Oh academia, what a love-hate relationship we have. Hate will win out though, if I don't get finished soon.

Stayed tuned for the next post, which will be brough to you by the letter B.
