Ok, so I have been so intensely stressed with two papers and work all weekend. Finally however I feel a little relieved I handed in a lot of things and have two full school days to do my papers. Things are looking brighter.
On more important news, I finished the Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows...yeah I know all while stressing about homework(it really helps me calm down...and procrastinate). But yeah, it was awesome beyond belief. Anyone who likes the movies or books....it was great! I can't wait for November...HP and then Twilight...it will be so hard to concentrate on school during those weeks next fall!
Thats all of the update i can give right now. I have class in like ten minutes.
Hope everyones day is going well.

Earth Day is Harry Potter's favorite holiday!
It's Earth Day:) I have a whole lot of journals to do. Which kind of sucks. I haven't started them yet. I was sick yesterday it was really bad. I felt awful all day and missed two classes. Argg. I had perfect attendance in one of them so that really stinks. Anyways, I have a math placement test to take today, very icky.
I wish I hadn't been sick yesterday. I had forgotten that it was Earth day until the Google sign was made of forest trees. I did do a lot outside this weekend though. My mom and I transplanted her peppers and my herbs. Hayden played with his wagon and puppy loved being outside. We were outside most of the weekend and then I had to go and get sick. I am glad its lovely out today though.
I didn't write anymore this weekend but I did start Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yesterday after my 7 hour nap. It is pretty good so far, not too much action yet. My mom and my cousin are die hard HP fans and they probably think its madness that i have taken so long to go through the books. My mom got really mad when I told her that little harry has a filthy habit of chain smoking. She said that it was just a crazy lie that someone spread. Like I said Hardcore fans. Not that I'm not a fan though, I love HP too.
I hope that I feel better soon and that I can get all of my homework done with ease.
Happy Earth Day:)

thursday novel update...hippies?
Trying not to think about the Math placement test I have to take on Tuesday....i keep thinking about it though. Darn it. Ummm..I have way too many things to do this end of the semester. I feel a little overwhelmed but it's all do-able so I am not terrified.
I had an epiphany last night regarding my characters in my upcoming story. I was debating them being witches or hippies or both but decided to go a more unusual direction. They are going to be something completely new. A made-up supernatural being. Yeah!!! I'm really excited for that because that why I have more flexibility with plot and with there abilities. It creates more room for fantasy and craziness. I can't wait to be done with finals so I can start my story. I've cheated a little by writing a couple of random things to help me develop my characters but thats all.
I have class in ten so I'll write back later:)
Lovely weather and good juju to all (i think thats good tidings or something)

here we go
A and I are going to protest the crazies at the other college in our town tomorrow. They finally left our campus but are going nuts over there. I am not going to yell or anything just hold a pro-choice poster that has some true intellectual facts to over ride the obscenity they are forcing on the public.
Ok maybe if someone says something idiotic I will retaliate. Thats all though. I just figured since I titled this The Feminist Mom I should write about any sort of activism and whatnot.
I guess I am just still mad that they put the posters next to the schools daycare center when they were over here, and since my child goes to daycare there I was to say the least pissed off. I just want them to know that what they are doing is not ok.

Edit: We might not be able to go because of car conflicts but we will try. I'll update more on this later.

fresh start to the week
I am all better today:) I have a paper due, that I finished and a quiz today. The quiz might possibly suck hardcore but I remain optimistic. My cousin drove with me to school today. She's busy reading and being all scholarly:) I am cruising perezhilton and writing in this blog...so it all evens out. She just read through my English paper, its funny cause I'm the English major but she is awesome with writing and grammar, a natural. Must run in the family. Or its the obsessive amount of reading we both did as children and teenagers, her more than me I think.
I kind of want a nap...maybe I'll just have a coffee instead.
Kind of a small update but I have to do some schedule things regarding math. I'm a little scared.
Have a great day:))

warning: i'm a little perturbed
Well I just got my coffee so I might be a little off for a bit. I only have one class this morning and the rest of the day to do homework and chat with people. I haven't spoken since I got to school and it makes me feel a little leery. I think I should just start talking to myself to help make it seem like I am not alone. Argg. Sorry crazy talk takes over sometimes.
Anyways, there are some insane protesters at my school today. It makes me sick and upset that they were invited to come here. Apparently people think that comparing abortion to genocide is an accurate analogy. It is a disturbing scare tactic that doesn't even make sense, mostly because of the very definition of genocide. I really feel bad for the people they swindled money out of to come here. Make your own damn posters don't give an unnecessary amount of money to someone else. I think that Anti-choice group has every right to fund raise and support their cause. All I'm saying is it would be wiser for them to use money to help women not to freak out and upset college students. Rant finished.
Other than that my day is going well. I am about to eat a delicious looking orange pineapple muffin. Sounds gross but is soo good. I don't have much else to say.
Side note: I am not trying to devalue the pro-life movement. I think that everyone has a right to there own convictions. However I know of a lot of pro-life students whom were upset by the images shown. That shows just how unnecessary and wrong it was for them to be up. When both sides of the debate are upset something is not right.
Thats all for now. I need to calm down so I can write a happy blog:)
*Also I will be updating as often as I can this summer and sharing my ideas and my progress on my writing. Thanks for reading wanderlust, a, and libby:)

novels for the romantically challenged
I am feeling pretty good today. I glided right through my exam this morning and now have a doctor appointment and coffee with a friend. Should be a good afternoon. I am really really thankful for the gloomy forecast today. Yesterday the visor on my car fell off. Just fell off. I barely touched it and clunk. Whatever I just hope my brother fixes it soon.
I already ate breakfast this morning but I am hungry again. Jeez.
I don't have a lot to say this morning really. Oh I was finally able to register for next fall. I got into all of the classes I wanted. I am especially excited for my creative writing class. I am also terrified beyond recognition. It's best not to focus on the negative though.
I'm not sure how often I'll update this in the summer. I plan to write a book or at least a couple of random chapters for a book and so I might neglect this. Not that anyone will be broken up about it or anything. The hardest part about this book I want to start is going to be the plot. Libby, my friend, told me to just start writing and see where it takes me. I think thats what she said. Anyways I am going to do that but I need to start somewhere and when i get a list of characters churned out i start to plan things and the stories that i have come up with are all the kind of generic love stories i didn't want to do. I wanted it to be romance but I'm not sure if I am ready for that. I think I'll start with the two characters that i love and then just let then tell me where to go. Maybe there will be romance maybe not. I hope so.
Well, I am good at rambling thats for sure.
Thats all for now. Must go do something productive

pink tights and werewolves..don't judge me
Today is rather nice day. My cousin is with me today at school and that always makes my morning better. Even if we are just sitting next to one another, its nice to have her near. Such a sap I know. Anyways, I got the second season of Joan of Arcadia in the mail yesterday but am forcing myself not to watch it until the semester ends. Self control. I don't need to watch it. Surprisingly I am completely ok with not watching it because its a drama and I am freaking stressed enough without feeling emotional about someone else(imaginary people don't need my condolences).
I am wearing a skirt and pink tights today. I think that me dressing in a way that pleases me helps with the stress. Some people need sweatpants and t-shirts to get through final weeks of stress and I need shirts and tailored blouses to motivate me. It's weird and odd. No one really wears skirts anymore but I actually really do like skirts. So when I'm upset or something is bothering me I decide I don't care how out of place I look, I need to wear something that I like. I'll shut up about clothes now, since they don't define me anyways.
I have class soon and am kind of dreading it. Only because I am afraid I did my summary wrong. Aggrr. What's done is done I guess.
I feel really bad I don't have any pictures to upload. I have a couple I could put up but they are on my camera at home. Oh well...........hmmm......let me find something to fill some color on this blog.
My favorite horror movie of all time. I love Ginger Snaps, and Ginger Snaps 2. The third was OK too but not as good as the first two. I think I'll watch it this weekend:)
Thats all I guess
Have a Lovely Day:))

a bit of boring...sorry
SO I have gotten myself on track a bit. I have four journals done with and now have to write a two page interview summary and a essay rough draft, oh and i have an exam on Thursday. Lovely.
Today isn't sunny and it isn't particularly warm but I think that it will be rather nice anyways. I kind of like the gloom, just as long as the nasty cold wind stays away. Well, now I've talked about weather and homework...I am really not being interesting today.
I think I should have some coffee. Aggrrr...I am suppose to be on track. Why does it feel like I have fifty billion things to do all at once. It's like today is the day for everything. Well really its for my interviews and summary and my extra credit for Anthropology. I guess I will just have to only focus on that or else I'll drive myself crazy.
I finished the three first books in the Twilight saga, and now have to wait patiently for the fourth to come out in August. It sucks. I can be glad that she ended the third book in a place that keeps me feeling OK. Like, it didn't just end with something I needed to know. Thank you Stephenie Meyer, thank you. Anyways, I think that not reading a normal book in ages caused me to go off the deep end with my assignments, (thats why I'm behind). I just have to put off the next good book for three more weeks until school is finished.
I just hope that the second season of Joan of Arcadia I order doesn't tempt me to abstain once again from my avid paper writing. I tend to get sucked into fantasy worlds with complete ease. It's a little ridiculous.
That's all I guess

reading for five hours straight=bliss
OK, I started this book Twilight by Stephanie Meyer last night and finished it last night, it was so romantic and beautiful. A bit of an easy read but it was completely passionate and blissful. I couldn't put it down, so now I am really tired. haha. I have to rent the next book, but probably should pace myself this next time. I always get sad when a wonderful story or series comes to an end. I just always want more. It was so nice reading something other than my reading for school. I just feel like me again, like a weight has lifted. I love love reading, and it is hard not being about to enjoy something you love. Thank you A for borrowing me your book:)
Anyways, I have English today which I am kind of dreading, it's really boring and the gorgeous man that was in it hasn't been there for weeks, so I am pretty sure he dropped it. What a crock. My cousin road to school with me and its nice having her here to chit chat with.
I cant wait for the Twilight movie. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It is like the most perfect love story. My cousin kept ranting about it so thats why I read it, she always has excellent taste in books.
Thats all for now I guess.
