   ...Jiminey Crickets...

DS Time - 12:32 PM Rockin' to the sounds of - my keyboard while I type Well, damn. It's been a LONG time, hasn't it? Apologies to all those who still stop by this account. I had a really busy summer and things have gotten even more hectic since school started. So, shall we get the extremely watered down version to save us all time and space? Alrighty, here we go~ Well my eldest brother had knee surgery back in June and I stayed with him for a few weeks to help out cuz he had a one year old kid and a pregnant fiancee who was about six or seven months along. My job was to take care of my nephew, Khai. The surgery went well and the good news was that it wasn't as serious as they first believed. Still, we had a crippled brother, a hobbling pregnant woman, and a little one year old boy who couldn't be held by either of his parents because they were both incapable to do so without making their conditions worse. So I still came over to help out til the new baby came. My little niece, which they ended up naming Mia Rae, was born 5 lbs and 2 oz on July 24th 2007, but about a month early so she came out with underdeveloped lungs. But Mia only had to stay in the hospital for an extra week. She's perfectly fine and healthy now, though a little on the small side. I got to hold her for the first time about two weeks ago and she's about the length of my forearm and hand. Tiny little thing but oh so adorable. They're a gorgeous family, I'm almost jealous. And now we move on to the issue of school. My first day back was August 20th though I only had one class which started at 7:00 PM and ran til 9:45 PM. Seriously, three hours of Brit Lit in a row is NOT fun. But it's a requirement for my degree and the class was not scheduled for any other time. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I have that class Monday nights. Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have four classes from morning to evening, roughly from 9:45 AM to 6:45 PM with a three hour break from about 1:45 PM to 5:30 PM (and this is all Central Standard time that I'm talking about). So I have Wednesdays and Fridays off though it's not much of a break because I spend most of the day doing either reading or writing homework. That's another thing. My insane self thought it would be fun to take a total of 4 English courses this semester...I think I just might die by the end of the semester, that is if my hand doesn't fall off before then. Meh...I think I can handle it. It's just all the boring essays that I have to write. But then again I guess that's what the Creative Writing classes are for, to make things at least a little fun. Well, that's the quick 411 on me. Just wanted to drop by and assure you guys that I'm still alive. Just really busy with school and pre-occupied with RPing over at LiveJournal. You guys should check it out, the people and fandom communities there are pretty great. Seriously, they are. To be honest, I think you'll have a better of chance catching me over there than you will here. PS. In the meantime, huggums to all of you~ <3 I love Ren & Hao. What about you?
