Hi Everyone! I had a great vacation over the weekend. Hubby and I went to visit my "grandpa" Ronnie in Cherokee. We had a good visit with him and the girls- Chloe and Emma. We went to the Apple Festival, and it was a blast. Monday, I laid around on the couch all day. I don't know if I was warn out from the weekend or what, but I was sick. Sinus cold and headache. Last night I took some NyQuil and was in bed by eleven. I got a much needed 8 1/2 hours of sleep. This morning, I felt SO much better. Yay for NyQuil!
Rewind to last week: Friday was great. I took my math test. I had been studying since the first day of school for this. I felt really good about it afterward, even though I was so nervous. Well I got the results today, and I got a 96%! All that studying paid off! I also had a meeting for the Cougar Cry. (The WCC student produces newspaper.) And guess who is the newest writer for the paper? You got it, me. *Big grin* Loni was so happy I was there, and she was assigning me topics before the meeting was half over. I have several stories I am working on now. I love writing, and I know I can write. It's going to be great to have someone to focus my writing on. Plus, I think it will help me move into some more serious writing, which is something I have been wanting to do but didn't know how. This is going to be such a positive change for me.
Back to the present: I have a meeting for the SGA on Thursday. The admin counselor for the paper is the same admin counselor for the SGA. And since he liked me, I think I have a good chance for the SGA. I will be doing an article on the SGA meeting for that paper too, so that will give me a good "in" to ask lots of questions. I am excited about the meeting.
School is going pretty well. I have been working hard and studying hard, and it's beginning to pay off. It's nice to see my hard work being put toward something so great.
The kittens are doing well. They are growing so much. They spend most of the morning outside, and then come inside in the afternoon. Sarabi and Piper are beginning to get along. Or maybe I should say Piper is beginning to be more tolerable of Sarabi chasing her. Naala doesn't seem to find the same thrill in it, though. Her latest toy? A gold chain. Expensive little baby, isn't she?Hubby and I are "in progress" for potty training them. So far, it has worked well. I look forward to the day they are completely potty trained- no more litter box, mess, or cleaning up.
Yesterday, since I did nothing but lay around, I got a lot done in FFXI. I cleaned out my MH for both my main and my mule, and even for Xaint. I did a bunch of beginner quests: Cornettes, Yag necklaces, and Crawler calculus'. I put five stacks of Earth Crystals on the AH. Five stacks! And I have a good amount of all the other types of crystals still in my MH. I lvled my BRD from 8-14. I love BRD. It is an easy job, but keeps me busy. I hate dumb melee jobs like NIN or WAR, they are just so boring. (Don't hit me!) But I like BRD, because although I melee, I am still active in the party. I am thinking about trying PLD, or even- Heaven forbid- DRK. We shall see. But for now, I am enjoying BRD, and I'm going to keep lvling it.
Well, on to my homework! And then I am off to work through my email. I had over 60 emails this weekend. I feel so loved!

That's awesome that you are writing for the paper! Good for you! You'll have to post links to your articles, if the paper is online at all. Very cool. :-)
I have been told that it is, but I haven't found the links yet. I am going to work on that later this week.
