>I can’t help myself- I had to change up all my colors and whatnot, now that Halloween is over … and I found this beautiful photo of fall leaves on another blog, and just fell in love with it.

My NaNoWriMo aspirations have sort of fallen to the wayside. I have far too much school work this month! I’m still writing … I’m always writing! I will not be making the deadline though … and that’s okay.

After my nearly disastrous midterms week I was really afraid that I had screwed up the entire semester. [I was having some extremely stressful personal "stuff"] Lo and behold … I passed every exam!!! I was so shocked, you could’ve knocked me over with a feather! It did remind me though that I have a lot of had work and studying to catch up on, and I want to make sure I’m building myself a strong foundation instead of just flying by my coattails. I really need to channel my inner Hermione Granger … because this studying thing is not my favorite way to spend time!

I’m glad the election is over (and personally very pleased with the results, heh heh) … at work we’ve been hoping the major slump we’ve had is due to pre-election stress. I know that we’re in a serious economic disaster, but I hope some of the good people of Agoura can find it in their hearts to loosen the purse strings a bit and get a massage! Stress kills you know, and you can’t take it with you, so enjoy life while you can! I’m also pursuing other methods of making some extra cash, since I’m practically unemployed … one idea is to put more effort into this Party Psychic plan that Sadie and I had, and hire ourselves out to party planning types. We actually worked a party on Saturday (Nov. 1) … it was so much fun!

That’s all, just a mundane update on life … Happy Wednesday!
