The end is near....

Wow- its been since August since I last posted. Classes almost killed me this last semester. But hey I did well. So since I am on the school front lets see:
I managed 3 B's and 1 A. I enjoyed all my classes,my psychology the most and strangely I miss my stats class. I know weird right? Next semester I am set up for 4 classes, one of them Abnormal Psych. Excited! But if my counselor has it, I will only be taking 2-3 classes. She doesn't like it when I get overwhelmed. *secret* Neither do I.

Onwards!

Amtgard:

Well I managed to finish out being chancellor for 2 terms back to back. With all the "drama" I got burned out close to the end of my reign. I really hate there are people who think it is ok to destroy someone's good name, just because they do not kiss your but or agree with everything that you say and do.(Yes there are people like this. They also believe that those who don't agree are beneath them...well they act that way anyhow)  I mean disagree with me. Fine. So what you have a mind of your own. Great-you are not part of the BORG. But neither am I and I will think and do as I choose, not as someone else tells me I should.  Right now I am Scribe and Guildmaster of Assassins and Garbers. Which is great. I mean no stress just relaxation and do what I want....which has been a lot of crafting.

In January I am going to my first Winter's Edge event, it will be midreign. I am entering a tournament called the Lizard Master....well I have all my entries but two. I think I can pump those out in the next 3 to 4 days easily, plus maybe the shirt idea I have. Oooo...I need to make Hadb a tunic. *sighs* I forgot. Oh and I am suppose to do a tutorial on how to make split pants and pants....Where is the time going?

We did a Hobbit 2 demo last Thursday. Went over great! We watched the movie and enjoyed it...left it on a good part.Can't wait until Hobbit 3. Oh yeah, I actually got a class gig for the library from doing the demo. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. That will be in March/May time frame. It will be a 4 week class 2 days per week for 2 hours. :) I'm excited!

I was challenged to make a gambeson...however my challenger has yet to give me his measurements. *poke* :) We may have to put that one off for a bit...time is wearing thin and when classes come back online ..I'm gonna be crazy busy.

Speaking of nervous- not only am I eh...about entering the Lizard Master. I put my name in the hat for Principality Prime Minister. I'm nervous because I am afraid people will think I can't do the job because I did get overwhelmed at the end of my last term. But that was because of Drama-not the job. Plus the new ORK isn't always forgiving or malleable. If you are WE and NW gives an award or such: forget it. It won't stay or it will just refuse to put the award in. No matter which browser you use or which method you use to put the award in. *grumbles.....i want the old ORK back* So cross your fingers....maybe I will get it. If not oh well there is always next time.

Me.....
Well I have been bouncing off the walls until like oh 2 days ago. Yesterday I was pushing into a hypomania but crashed instead. I hate when things do that. I crashed over stupid stuff too. Today I have a massive headache, which suprises me that I'm doing this post because reading really sucks. But hey typing with your eyes closed is kinda ok..lol. Good thing I took classes on those types of things. 

Gary is home for the next couple of weeks. Which is good adn bad at the same time lol. I hope we dont' get tired of each other. We've only spent a little time together so far. I can't wait to maybe just have a time to snuggle with him. I wish he was more touch feely sometimes. I know the person of my bubble wants to snuggle. I think Garrett is wearing off on me. He's really huggy lol.

Well I think I am gonna take a nap. Maybe that will get this headache to cease and maybe then I can get some needlework done today. I have the itch to stitch!

The Countdown begins.....

Well today I went and got my textbooks for class. Robbery I say Robbery! Its ridiculous how much books cost. One of my books is an older book but still cost me 150.00. Really? Ugh. Its so hot outside today, and I missed lunch. My usual lunch companion couldn't make lunch. Hmm I hope he at least got some resemblance of food today. So I almost over heated. I had on jeans and a jersey shirt- too hot. Now I'm in shorts and a tee.

Lets see---ah I managed to get Lonnie's split pants done. No tunic not yet. My plan is maybe to get that done today. I have company over on Saturday so no sewing then. I got all my mending done now its just the need to finish up tunics. I need to make one for Draziel and Galene (lonnie). I really don't do so well on tunics...hence I don't sew them. ;) Split pants pssh! I can pump them out in no time. 

I watched my page/bestfriend sew a t tunic for the first time. He did a dang good job. He did a french seam for the first time. For him trying something he's never done before he did really great. He loves it and he has a shirt to go with his monk. So :) kudos!

SO I must either play sims 3 or continue getting ready for class Monday......crud I have to put points in on the 6 point day. Then sims...i mean then I will finish getting ready. ;)

State of Mental

Well things have been remotely difficult for me. I've been seeing a counselor for a year. I'm going back to seeing my old counselor that is on campus. I will also be seeing the doctor there like wise. Things have been tough. Its been a while since I've posted. I kinda lost a lot of drive and I'm just getting it back. Being in a manic isn't as cool as people may think it is. I can't keep things straight. I'm not in the bubbly or angry but in this funk manic. I've decided to try and stay out of the hospital. Each time I go in its like I loose who I am. I know its meant to help me but I am tired of emotional genocide.

Enough on the bad. I have a friend who came in my life a year ago and he has become my best friend.  He has helped me get out of some of the ruts I've been in. He has me praying again-I guess I just forgot how to do it for a while. We've rearranged outside with the help of Gary. We bought plants and potted them up and put them with the table on the front porch. Saturday we were up early and we cleaned and potted up our large planter that we built. I have planted some veggies and even started propagating some cuttings. :) I'm glad for the push, I really needed it.

Last night Garrett decided some of the clutter had to go. So we started around 7 and finished around midnight. The house looks better. We are talking about doing the dining room next just to clean up and get rid of clutter. I like it but I don't know if I will have the energy to do it today. I feel as if I need to go back to bed. But I want to get the house ready because in a couple of weeks I will be holding a stitch party. I'm hoping people actually come. I will be in class for two weeks but taking one night to have people over for sewing isn't a bad thing. So I really don't want the house a total wreck when people come.

I managed to finish a coat that I'd been working on.

First Week of School

So far classes have been great. I decided to pass on my Sociological Problems class. I just didn't feel comfortable with the way things were set out to go. I've already set my mind to my other 4 classes. I know my doctor wants to me run less classes but its kinda of hard to do that when I need to take these classes to graduate. I think things will be fine. As long as I put my mind to it ;)

I know this is a short blog but I just wanted to get a little bit of my thoughts out on paper kinda. I've cleaned out my closet and I am working on trying to get all of the unwanted clothing sold on the LTT site on Facebook  I have found a couple of really cute things that I like, so I'm hoping I can get rid of most of it. I'd rather do that so that way I can buy more stuff .

Tomorrow is friday but that doesn't mean I have much time to just goof. I have things I need to get a jump on so I will probably be at the library for a bit tomorrow. Then come home and enjoy some down time with the hubby.
