I just got finished taking two tests online and submitting an assignment. I have to complete one paper, begin my Shakespeare research paper, write several entries in my Spanish journal, write a one page reflection on another paper I have already completed, and write a analysis paragraph on a selection of Shakespeare. All before Monday, December 1.
I'm beginning to suffocate just thinking about it.
But! I am very happy to be able to spend a little time with all of my family (biological and not). 48 minutes until eating time!!!! Then, worship and another dinner tonight! Then, another Thanksgiving lunch tomorrow! Then, Christmas tree decoration Friday! And Saturday..........................

I'm so blessed with wonderful family and so many delightful, exciting things coming up. I'm gonna get off of here and go enjoy.
You're going to think I'm crazy, because you're the one with the insane deadlines, but I felt a little nostalgic when I read that post. The tiniest part of me thought, "Oh, a Shakespeare research paper, I remember those!" Then for the tiniest moment I wished that was what I had to do this week instead of finishing the grading of research papers and essays. Not badly enough that I would do one for fun, you understand... :-)
The "spreading out" is because of the big picture in the post below. You can fix it by adding something like width="640" height="480" before the closing ">" in the image tag.
Interesting that you have to write a "reflection" on one of your papers. Usually you want to forget assignments after you've completed them, but no, gotta reflect on it and turn that in!
I'm very busy with school and work. 5,000 projects going at once.
John and I are going to see High School Musical 3 tonight. Why? For school. Yeah, my only date this month is because of school. That's how busy I am. I have to write a movie review and there's nothing in theaters right now that I think I could stand writing about. HSM3 is sort of the lesser of many evils.
Since Thanksgiving swiftly approacheth...
Leisa and I bought and decorated our Christmas tree. It's very pretty. I also already have Levi's and Peter's Christmas presents. I know they will both love them. I'm excited. They are wrapped and under/behind the tree.
I like Christmas.
I attended New Georgia's meeting last night with Bro. Bill Hall. It was very good for me. Bill Hall has such a positive influence upon every one he has contact with. I'm not sorry to have Steve working with us now, but I do miss Bro. Bill. I feel blessed to know that Bro. Bill is now working with the Westview Church in Hartselle, where my future family-in-law attend now. This means I get to keep in touch with him and Mrs. Charlotte, AND that the Suggs will come to understand just why I love the Halls so much.
I am very blessed, I've decided. I have a loving Lord, a wonderful Savior, two families that love me, a devoted fiance, many friends who care for me, and the opportunity to have a great education and a promising career.
What more could I ask for?... Perhaps a cat... Just Kidding.
It is called Candida yeast, although it is really more bacteria than yeast. It is on my skin, tongue, and affects all parts of my body and well-being.
It feeds off of those foods, so, in addition to taking something to kill it, I have to limit my intake of its life source.
It isn't that horrible, but I have had it for years and not really understood the importance of it. If it gets worse or reaches my bloodstream, I could die. I think. At least that's what I've been told.
Really, I'm just grossed out that it's on my tongue.
I'm not allowed to eat:
-any dairy, cheese, milk,etc.
-anything made with white flour, bread, biscuits, croissants, pasta, etc.
-any potatoes or beans, potato chips, fries, baked potato, etc.
-any sugar, cookies, cake, muffins, candy, etc.
-any fruit
-any mayonaise or dressings
and I have to drink only water for at least a week. I don't know how long the food thing lasts.
Good news. I can still eat meat. And corn. And tomatoes, if I count them as a vegetable.
I don't know how long I can keep this up.

Yeah. That thought you just had? That's exactly what I'm thinking.
I've only had one meal since lunch yesterday. I can't think of anything to eat.
