So, I got all A's for my first term back at school, friends! I'm so jazzed about that. There were a few moments when I was unsure how things were gonna go, but I worked my ass off and it paid off! Now I'm working my way into Spring term, and I really thank God that this term is not my first impression on the education I will receive at this school. It feels a little more jumbled and stunted…this is not entirely the profs' faults because the school implemented a new online class resource forum/page/thing. So everyone is getting used to that. But what is the biggest concern for me right now is that my art teacher is an abominable lecturer. He is so nervous that he doesn't finish his thoughts or sentences, and his images, that he has prepared for the class, always include somehow, images that he didn't expect. I could go on, but summing it up: I get nothing from his lectures which is horribly painful because it's a THREE HOUR class. And it's art, which is my passion.

On a mental note..haha…I still haven't tried to find a new therapist. It's just one more thing on this list, which means I don't really have any extra emotional energy left to exert on it. I just found out I have rosacea, I have braces, I'm going to physical therapy, and I'm going to school. These require extra time and attention on top of the energy of maintaining a happy home and keeping up friendships. All I can do, is all I can do. And I still have a to-do list that is constantly nagging me outside of these things. We'll see if I get to the point where I can't go on without therapy again and finally break down and seek out a therapist again.

And Spring is coming!! OH THANK GOD!! Oregon has been constantly raining, and we are drowning. It feels like years in between bursts of sunlight, and I swear to Jeebus that I am growing moss on my limbs! The weather is giving us a little dry time to do some yardwork, which is super therapeutic for me. If the weather wasn't such crap in Oregon I would more seriously consider work in the landscaping business. 🙂 However, being cold and wet is enough of a problem as it is, so yeah. I need to take a painting or drawing class soon too. For now, I must read some stuff on Shakespeare for class. Hurrah! Good ol' Willy. 😉
