Huh.

Well, it’s going to take a little bit of time for me to get used to this whole blog thing again. I’d pretty much forgotten entirely that I even still have a blog again. The only reason I remembered is that it’s raining outside right now, at nearly 4am, and I thought, “Hey, it’d be nice to have a blog again, just so I can write about the rain.”

And then I said to myself, “Self, you DO have a blog again!”

So here I am. And I am quite amused by myself.

As to the rain, it’s gentle, it’s comforting and it makes me so very happy to be sitting indoors, where it’s nice and warm, with just one lamp on in my living room, with a blanket on my lap, while all that’s going on out there.

School is going well. Halfway through the semester, practically, and I’ve had to turn in very little work, which is always a bonus, particularly as I have very little work to hand in for this whole semester. I get an essay assigned tomorrow, and I have a short assignment in SPSS for next Thursday, plus I have to write a parody or satire of my favourite or least-favourite song for Monday… and, yeah, I just had an Italian test and handed in an Italian composition.

Hm. When you put it all together like that, along with the prose poem and univocal lipogram I had to do, maybe it is a fair bit of work to hand in. I’m woefully behind on my readings, of course, but I feel like I don’t get a lot out of the lectures when I’ve done the readings, and that I don’t get a lot out of the readings (particularly for Social Theory) when I haven’t heard the lectures yet.

Upcoming plans include:

- a pumpkin carving party at J’s on Saturday night, apparently
- seeing my best friend at some point in the next few days, when she’ll be up from the US
- doing homework
- helping others with SPSS homework
- playing computer games when I should be doing homework
- preparing for NaNoWriMo
- cheering for the Habs, with their 4-1 record thus far

Did I mention that I got my driver’s license back in March? It was a snowy, snowy day and they actually CLOSED the license bureau for road tests about 20 minutes after I finished. I passed on the first try. Just FYI, it is not easy to parallel park in 15cm of snow.

On that note, I’m going to watch Smallville (the shame, the shame!) and then go to bed.

I really do need to post more often.
