thewrittenfaeSo, wow has it been ages since I updated my personal journal. Life has been pretty busy and crazy for me this semester, mostly with getting sick. Had a blood test done and they were able to tell me that the reason I was so tired and unable to get out of bed was because I had a sever iron deficiency. It was sever enough that after a month taking iron my blood was only at the bare minimum for what it should be, so I'm still on the iron for now. Thankfully my energy is still coming back, though since November came in I've had a constant headache sometimes bordering on migraine.
I did however talk to my adviser and with 18 credit hours next spring (which...is a hell of a lot for me) I shall graduate. Mom and I are batting around the idea that I take 15 for Spring and an online class from home over summer to finish just so I'm not spending the money on said classes and setting myself up to fail because 18 credits of 3000 and 4000 classes is a LOT to take in one semester. Everything plan wise will be decided when I go home for Thanksgiving. I know I can do 15 because Beth is in two of the classes I'm taking so we'll be able to help each other there, and Beth and I are planning to set like an hour to two hours every other day for studying in the Lawson basement away from distractions. With cracking down, and one of those classes being called an easy A because the teacher is retiring after Spring and just doesn't care, I should be completely fine with 15. It's that extra 3 hours. I've never taken more than 15 hours before and it makes me nervous thinking about taking it.
On a side note, I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I've got a fairly good start, though I'm about a day behind the average word count. But that's because I didn't write for the first three days. Instead of doing an original story, I'm writing a fanfic and letting it take me where it kind of wants to go while staying fairly true to canon, or it will stay decently true with the AU twist when it gets up to canon because it started before the canon started by about a year.
yay. Now. Lunch and a trip to Walmart with Beth and then later I shall teach Ben how to use Twitter (it's kind of adorable that he doesn't know) and then he shall teach me how to play Call of Duty.
