to purplefeen: You are truly stupendous friend and an incredibly talented author. I wish you nothing but the best day possible with all the bestest things that make you smile.

to shanmara: I'm so glad I've gotten to know you, sweetie! You're a powerhouse and a harlot to the end. Have a fantastic day today! I hope you get lots of presents *smooches*

PS. Please forgive me for not having more for both of you. I'd love to give you each something a bit more special than this but sadly, time and grad school prevents it. But once time lets up, I promise to do some Spangel art for Chiann and something Spara-related for Feen.

Grad School w00t!

Okay, I need to start by saying that I'm not usually a last-minute sort of person when it comes to papers. I like to the research when time is readily available and I like have my first draft written the weekend before they are do.

That being said, I found time slipping away from me this semester as these final weeks have hurdled towards me. Last week, I had two papers due and this week, I had two papers due. However, over the weekend, I found myself relaxing and letting myself destress by snuggling into the warm arms of Nick who had come to visit me.

On Sunday, I was able to write one of my papers.

On Monday, I didn't feel any motivation at all.

And today, I sat down and found myself writing nine pages (requirement was 8-10) of a paper that radiates with so much passion and determination that I can feel my personality oozing from the margins. It was an intense experience but I feel this unexpected surge of accomplishment for being able to complete my task and I'm really satisfied with how it turned out. The last minute piece of this and the full point of this blog is that the paper I wrote today is due tomorrow at 5:30 pm. But the important thing now is that I'm done with papers :)

The only class requirement that I have left to fill is a 7-8 minute presentation on the paper I just finished.

And then I'm free for six whole weeks!
