Thanksgiving to a Break

Hey all,

Sorry to leave you in the cyber world without a bit of entertainment but I've been a busy student. One of those weeks where the world eventually faded into the colors of my word processor because I'd been staring at it for so long and when I looked up I wanted my sunglasses because the world beyond was so bright. But everything is done. I even have my grad school applications 75 percent complete. Yes, yes, I do.

Two more classes and then I've got a week off. What I look forward to most is reading a book that I choose. What I look forward to seeing is my family. What I look forward to eating is well anything that won't kill me.

Have a good one.

Happy November

It's November.

Two more months of 2009.

And I need to be working on my grad. school applications. They are two times the fun of undergraduate applications because you have fill out two apps. all together. One goes to the graduate school admissions and one goes to the program you are applying for. So cool, I know. I am going to get my MFA in creative writing.

Right now I'm drinking tea. It's a raspberry based black tea and it is so good. Yesterday I had green tea with honey and lemon. I feel so writer-ish when I sit at my computer and drink my tea and have my cat on my lap and work on the first three chapter of my book because those are the writing selection I'm sending to the grad schools.

And for those of you who are applying to undergraduate college, don't forget your deadlines. They are quickly approaching and the last thing you want to do is sacrifice opportunity because of laziness.

Good luck.

Have a great one.

Hockey, Hockey, Hockey

Hello readers,

So I have discovered some sad news, especially sad in my world but just a bit sad for any of my fellow hockey enthusiasts.

Sergei Zubov, a defensemen for the Dallas Stars officially left the NHL to play in St. Petersburg. Beyond being my favorite NHL player he also was one of the highest goal scoring defensemen in the NHL as well as an all around great player.

Good luck in St. Petersburg Zubie!

On a good note, the Stars are off to a great start this season. Keep it up guys!

Have a great one.

The Tub Chronicles VIII

Hi.

I would like to announce that Austin Manor has a new water heater and it is lovely.

Thank you.

The Tub Chronicles Part VII

I think the water heater is bi-polar. This morning it was ice cubes and this afternoon it was lava. Regardless. I got a shower and now I'm clean.

Count down to Austin Manor's new hot water heater: 4 days.

The Tub Chronicles Part VI

And you thought it was over.

Today, I went to take a shower and the water was ice cold and not getting any warmer. So I shaved my legs instead. Hope that counts a clean . . .

OWU Preview Days

Hello Readers!

I want to send a shout out to all of you who visited OWU in the last three days as part of our preview days. And an even bigger shout out to those of you who accompanied me around campus is tour form. It was fun.

And you know what else is happening this week? Mid-semester break! Woo! And I'm on campus. Giving tours. Woo!

Right now I am watching the Birdcage. It is brilliant. Nathan Lane is my favorite actor.

Quiznos got rid of my favorite sub. Boo.

Have a wonderful day.
