School is here

By
We woke up at 5 a.m. this morning in our new digs. The bedroom was warm thanks to a space heater. The rest of the apartment was just a wee bit warmer than the 20 something degrees it was outside. Gas should be turned on today so we won't have repeats of extreme coldness. We dragged ourselves and Bambi out to the car, experimented with ways of tying Bambi up because she expressed a desire to ride right beside the driver, and headed off for the campus. Damm has PE with his ROTC group MWF starting at 7. Then I drove for only the second time in Las Cruces and locomoted Orclette, Bambi, and meself over to the grandparents. There we luxuriated in warmth and comfort until now, when I remembered that Damm told me to write a post. Moon and I shall be leaving soon, a little bit earlier than necessary but I want to preview where all my classes are. Then I'll meet Damm for lunch and then we'll trot off to Spanish. After that I'll pick up Bambi and the Orclette and then head back to the campus to pick Damm up. He has a sizeable break and then goes back that evening. Wash, rinse, repeat. MWF, at least. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a bit less hectic but I'm available to work in the mornings and we have Spanish lab in the afternoon. One of these days we'll get internet at our apartment and we'll log onto WoW and see how everyone is doing.

Til later,

Damm, Wulfa, Orclette, Bambi, and Elflette (note: Elflette sounds like a girl but I don't know yet what #2 is going to be. I just like Elflette).

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
