per_soloSo, in looking back...has it really been since September 20th that I posted?
Um....wow.
Considering I used to post at least once if not twice a day (or more)...
Ok. Fair enough. I'll still try to update more regularly than that, but will admit that between real life, and school, and my fairy tale lives, I haven't felt like I had much to say.
I mean, I could talk about how rough some things are...but, things are always going to be some level of "rough".
I could talk about school...but, right now, I'm much more focused on getting through the last semester, than in sitting down and trying to put a coherent thought together...
After all, those coherent thoughts need to be saved for the business plan that I'm putting together with a team this semester. No, not for a "real" business, but it has to look, smell, and walk like a plan that someone could put into action tomorrow.
Wanted to go with an idea I've had for a bit, but unfortunately, there are a few steps to that one that I cannot do in a quick amount of time. That's at least years down the line...
So, am taking 4 classes this semester. One I MUST pass (499 - Capstone class), and 3 "for fun". 2 of those are music classes...Music for Film, and History of Rock and Roll in the 70s and 80s. Both of those are going to be pretty decent classes. I'll do what I can to enjoy them, but they are..way far down on the priority list.
Good news...I believe (though have no confirmation yet) that I made the Dean's list again last semester. 3.5 GPA...Hopefully, if I don't tank on the low-priority classes this semester, I'll walk out with a 3.0 GPA...fairly nifty.
TV...been watching Arrested Development again. Lots of fun..makes me look forward to the movie next year. Torchwood will come out again, eventually, but I don't know if I can stomach watching it again...I probably will, after all, Joss Whedon got to rip my heart out and stomp on it repeatedly, so why not RTD while we're at it?
I get to see and hang out with friends, occasionally, but not as much as I used to. That used to make me sad, or nostalgic, but most of them understand that all of us have been very busy. Doesn't mean I don't miss people, or wish that life could slow down a little more so we could hang out some, but fortunately, I've got understanding friends. Everyone's lives have changed, shifted and been what life normally is. It's hard to get used to life in one configuration (*heh*, now I've got Chris Tucker's voice talking about wanting ALL positions in my head), as things keep changing. And we adapt as best we can.
Anyways, that's where I'm at in this moment of time. I'm not going to promise daily updates, yet, but will try to be around. Just...it feels like if I'm on LJ, I should be saying something more substantial than what I'd put on FaceBook, or on a tweet...and even this post has taken me a while to figure out just what to say, and how to say it. Maybe I should do what others have done...find a few substantial memes, and go with those, to help the process along. It's a thought.
I hope you all are well. I'm still here, still surviving. And really am thinking of a lot of people that I hope are finding good times amidst some of the chaos that's out there.
Take care. :-)

Date: 2011-01-21 12:50 am (UTC)So I'm dying to know, whatever happened with that whole class situation you wrote of ages ago? What did you end up doing and how did it work out?
Okay, so are they for real making an arrested development movie? Because I've heard that rumor for years...

Date: 2011-01-24 02:11 am (UTC)I ended up dropping the class, and am taking it with a new/improved group this semester. I feel better about it now.
And yes, from what I've seen recently, they are moving forward..and we should have an Arrested Development movie next year. I'm sad as so far it does not look like STEVE HOLT will be in it. :-) However, it sounds like they have everyone else on board.
