...of any month they feel like shaking, it seems. After a week of much needed rain (coincidentally coinciding with Spring Break) we have emerged into almost perfect temperatures. Fire! Drought! Low Klamath Lake!
Anyway, I hope everyone who has had their Break is feeling refreshed and ready to go because I DON'T! It's going to be an interesting term, that's for sure. Lots of things to learn and lots more to stress out about. I'm actually in the library to check out an extra novel my prof told me I have to add to my paper for Capstone (the big project I have to do before I can graduate) and I'm excited and exceedingly worried about it at the same. It's like having a chance to be absolutely brilliant and show it to the world in a final presentation to a board of professors BUT that brilliance could potentially be clouded by the two other classes I'm taking and the music lessons for which I need to be practicing. Oh, for well-developed time management skills!! Oh, for a house located a leeeeetle bit closer to school, for that matter. And thus ends this particular entry. Sorry it wasn't more interesting, in part, perhaps, because I realized that there are certain things I can't gripe about in this blog because there's always that chance that the Wrong Person would read it and get horrifically offended. Note to self: get anonymous blog to rant and rave in or rather, in which to rant and rave. Have a nice day!

It's a miracle!!!!
AHHHHHH HA HA HA HA!!!! I got straight A's!!!! *giggles madly and dances in the chair* I didn't even get any minuses this time!!!! I'm sorry for gloating, but I really was very concerned, especially after the paper incident.
Brianna, Katie, Melodie and I just went to a wonderful little tea room here in Dallas and had a great time. They had very good scones and lots of clotted cream. *sighs* Tea, scones, and delightful company; what more could a girl ask for on a cold, rainy day? Not to rub it in *evil laughter* but we also have ice cream, hot cross buns, and more scones!! Onward Scrabble games, books, movies, and prolonged cackling!!
You know, I think I'm done for today, unless I feel like typing more later, and then I won't be done now. We'll see how it goes...

Free! FREEAAEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
WHOO HOOOOOOOO!! It is Spring Break and I am not at home and I have (pretty much) no responsibilities (except for the ones I've been putting off for months now. Eh, they can wait a couple more days.). I drove up to Dallas with cousin Katie to visit other cousins Brianna and Chelsea. We spent quality time together last night watching movies and perusing fine art of the animal kingdom (feel free to read between the lines). It's rainy and cloudy and glorious and I'm doing absolutely nothing of redeeming value. Hopefully we'll get to go home either by the coast or Eastern Oregon.
We went and had pizza last night and had to suppress our rather disastrous tendencies to cacklefests. (Imagine three out of the seven involved in the terrorizing of the Plumber. One shudders to think.) Katie and I slept until 11:30 this morning (!!!) thanks to a late night and the dangerous darkness of dear Brianna's room. It was glorious and I'll feel guilty lat...no I won't. Never mind.
I have to admit that after that last post, which represents finishing that particular paper, I lost all motivation to do anything and pretty much flaked off again. *sighs* I probably shot all chances of straight A's out of the water, but I'll survive....but I won't be able to reward myself. *sighs again* So, I guess I'll just have to goof off this week to prepare for the term that is coming. *shudder of horror* It is definitely going to be a doozy, folks. I foresee long silences followed by bursts of shrieking and seizures. And on that note, I'm going to go eat dessert pizza for lunch! Have a nice Spring Break!

And the pages keep coming....
Ahem.
Whoo hoooooooooo!!!!!! Caffeinecaffeinecaffeinefrappucinochocolatecaffeinecaffeine!!!! IiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuaaaaAAAAAAAuuuuuIIIIiiiiiii!!!!! Ya gotta love it. The only bad side affect is that, while I may be wide, staring awake, I can't focus for longer than about three seconds on connecting the ideas that are supposed to come together and form my mind-blowingly brilliant paper. It doesn't help that everyone else is here in the computer lab with me and there's someone sitting way too close on the left, invading my bubble (which with strangers extends to about four feet) and yapping. Actually, I feel sorta sorry for these guys as they appear to be of the Lower Orders (read: freshmen or sophomores) and are having to write a group paper. Someday they, too, will be big boys and able to write their own individual papers. *rolls eyes* I think they're jocks and one of them keeps hulking past. Honestly, it's a good thing I was never in a small class with these people or I would have would up shredding their little delicate egos. Hmmm, anyway else notice that my caffeine OD (I'll have a hangover tomorrow, I guarantee it) seems to have loosened up the self-censure??
To anyone younger than me and still in school: DON'T LEAVE IT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! You wind up in a crowded computer lab listening to Alanis Morrissette and twitching every couple seconds. Really, who need illicit drugs, I have enough problems with the legal ones.
*sighs* Well, I suppose I really ought to get to my paper, although I can't think of anything else brilliant to write. Eventually I'm sure I'll realize that these need to be written during the day when my BRAIN WORKS but until then my words will go on flowing towards the deadline. Until then, my research will carry on. Until the day my eyes behold this stupid paper done and pasted in Blackboard. Until the day I finally get to drive home at 12 in the morning with the windows rolled down and the air conditioner on. Did anyone hear that thunder?
PS Sometimes the comments take a bit too post so don't worry if your's doesn't show up immediately. If however, it isn't there the next day, worry.

Comments
Yes, I did notice that no one can comment on my last post and I am trying to take care of it...may have to call in a specialist. By the way, the weather, which I am sure everyone will soon be sick and tired of hearing about, has shifted and is now sunny and all the trees are blooming. Well, almost all. Where's the rain?? Where's the snowpack? This is Oregon not Southern California (thank heavens or I'd have to move). Anyway, I have blithered enough and must now go make copies.

Mint
Looks like the weather has changed a bit, for the better or worse, depending on whether you're worried about the snowpack or if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. It's delightfully blustery with quick spats of rain, which I'm sure will change to deluge as I attempt to get to my car. I want you all to know that I should be practicing right now, or buying organic produce at my favorite co-op here in Ashland.
The book of the week for my Spanish Lit class fortunately looks to be slightly less depressing that the last one and deals with - beauty of beauties - geology!!! Oh, how tragic the Calculus that separates me from the jewel of my love, geology!! So, yeah, I'm getting ready to have a nervous breakdown from this class. Heaven only knows how I'll survive my Capstone next term.
Now for my title. I spent Saturday working around the house and one of the things I did was tackle the mountain of mint that has been methodically marauding the arable land available in the rock garden. My dad says I planted it, but just so you guys know, it was them, not I, who doomed that corner of the yard to mintdom. Anyway, I was yanking the stinking weed (in a fresh sort of way) out of the ground and getting good and muddy along the way. Okay, it's nice to have fresh mint when I want mint tea or something like that, but really, the stuff is out of control. Sunday was spent hanging out with Joel Jensen in Lithia Park and jamming. We got a really sweet little improv jazz piece together that we did for prelude and I'm amazed that some of the more conservative brethren didn't throw hymnals at us, even though it really wasn't all that out there.
Oh! Happy Birthday to my dear cousin Bryan, who turns 6 1/4 today!!!!! Or 25, if you feel like being picky about things like actual years lived. I hope you have a fabulous birthday and that this year is a spendiferous one!!!!!!!
