School schedules and such nonsense

By
This semester I am ONLY taking 13 hours.  Which is a great relief.  But surprisingly enough the school load has expanded to fill any gap in work that I might have been experiencing.

I am taking the following courses:

Radar
Leadership development
Leadership development lab
Capstone
Undergraduate Research in Radar.

Due to my participation in an organization that takes a lot of extra non-school-related time up I found myself with a two page paper due the first day of class and spent the three days before that working on organizational things 10 hours a day.

I have a 10k word document that I have to finish editing and proofing very soon this next week, a project I have to oversee for some sophmores, a three page paper due Tuesday, 30 pages of the radar book left to read, and three papers that I have to read(average of 27 pages)[Paper 1, Paper 2, and paper 3 is along the same lines.]

None of this is terribly critical but it is a lot more reading than I'm used to by the third day of classes.  Even as an engineer.

I'm both completely thrilled at how awesome the topics are and overwhelmed by how dry each paper is :P.

Yay for Radar classes.

Wulfa is busy trying not to be tired/sick all the time while working 40 hours a week.  She is just now starting to feel better and get her energy back which is thrilling to me because it is nice to talk to her before she goes to bed(Two weeks ago she was sleeping close to 11-12 hours a day and I'd go days where the only conversations we'd have were "have a nice day at work" and "babe wake up from the couch you need to go to sleep in bed").

The munchkins are growing by leaps and bounds and completely overwhelm me with how awesome they are .  Eldest is almost ready to do "fun runs" and is always wanting to practice running so she can talk her Grandma into running with her.  Second is our cuddler and wants attention and to do EVERYTHING that Eldest does.  And for Third, we saw a heartbeat last Tuesday, which was yay.

This semester is much happier than last semester and I'm hoping it stays that way.

Damm.

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...
