And let the gorging begin.

By
Finally, finally, time for the Thanksgiving break. It isn't a total break-I'm bringing along two research papers-but still, it's a kind of break. And Damm ordered pizza tonight so our holiday eating has begun. (Not really. I have no desire to put on 5 pounds:)

Tomorrow we leave for Texas. We'll be spending Thanksgiving with my family and some of our friends, and then I shall cry when we have to leave and mentally cuss the day I let myself contemplate the suggestion to move to NM. The holidays are wonderful, ain't they?

And far more important, I got to see Harry Potter 7 today, by myself. It was heaven-sitting in the dark theater, alone, watching the pre-previews show. Then a group of dudes came in and sat right next to me. Right next to me. They weren't obnoxious, and I liked my seat, so I stayed, but the theater wasn't full. They had to sit right next to me and interrupt my reverie? Anyway. It was awesome and left me hungering for the 2nd installment. The makeout scene betwixt Hermoine and Harry was surprising but totally in keeping with what a teenage boy would imagine, in my opinion.

And that's that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and Wulfa is out until school is back in session.

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...

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...
