Okay, I've finished one of my two papers and one of my two presentations. Two down, two to go... plus four exams, but those are timed so I don't have to worry about them until that time. Yes, I'm one of those. It's worked well.
Why am I telling you this? So I feel productive. That's it. Plus I need to stay on track, so really that wasn't it. I made the mistake of talking about Easter dress with my little sister and am now committed to sewing both of us dresses. This is not a bad thing, in fact, I'm thrilled, but remember that separation of the mind in the last post, yeah. I've already made a mock up of her dress and pulled out an old pattern for mine (said pattern is currently laying all over our living room floor). These were both bad ideas. I am now seeing the world in seams and zippers. I've caught myself analyzing how other peoples' clothing is sewn together in class. Ahhh.... I just need to concentrate for four more days and then I will permit myself to actually purchase the fabric.

Snow
Yup, it's snowing again. It's pretty, it really is. I wanted sun :( Oh, well.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, it's getting close to finals week and school work has been piling up (oh, the gift of being a procrastinator). I can hardly believe I'll be officially done with school in, count 'em, two weeks! Sigh, 15 2/3 years and it's almost over. Yay! I'm getting my life back.
My story has strayed across my mind a few times in the last week which is a good sign. It means I'm disconnecting from school mode and re-opening my other mode (it doesn't have a name yet but it's the mode of stories, drawing, personal reading, sewing, etc. You know, fun stuff). I try really hard to keep my other mode shut down when I'm at work or school because I have this small problem of letting it take over and not getting any work done which leads to mass panic in the end. Not good. My brain is like a really old computer, there's only so much RAM.

Sibs' Weekend
My university hosts a weekend for Sibs. It's basically a time for everyone to show their little sister or brother around, give mom and dad a weekend off, and induce the student to come up with creative ways of getting their homework done before/after the weekend (or at least come up with a good excuse why it didn't get done).
My little sister came in and we had a good time. We took a five hour shopping trip (which was wonderful), played video games with my husband (well, okay, she did, I just watched), and watched what felt like a ton of movies. All in all, it was a good weekend. Too bad we have to go back to school tomorrow.

Midterm Week
It's midterm week again and I have had/have/will have several exams (total of five in two weeks). It's funny. I should be stressing out. But right now I'm not, I'm just skimming notes and having many 'oh, yeah....' moments about homework and other important school duties I forgot.
I'm mostly just annoyed that exams take up extra time in addition to the regular school work so I'm cramming my housework and cooking into less time. I don't worry about whether I'll do well on the exam ('cause I know I'll at least pass them all and probably get no lower than a B on any of them), I'm just annoyed at the inconvenience of them. This is a strange switch from the last three years of school where exams have been mass panic. It's kind of nice.
