So much...
Still grading-

Blew out my computer speakers... Seems that green spot on my TV does come from static electricity in the room and caused by the metal loft above it. One night while walking by my TV (turned on) I touched the screen and the green spot had moved (I was hanging onto the metal loft). Big idea, so I started sweeping my hand all over the TV screen and finally made the green coloring go away - but in the process I must have killed my poor speaker closest to the TV, because that one makes a "shhhk ksshh ssshkiii" sound and the other speaker is fine but with a 'lil "shh".

So, next year we will stay away from metal lofts - we will get the TV magnetized (degaussed or whatever) and then I won't have to deal with green Martian people on my TV. :-)

I was told today that I was accepted for the Summer Writing conference! I will be Dr. Morgans assistant! Yay! I was wishing I had signed up last year, but now I know I just needed the right subject to come up (Blogs) and I would be good to go. :D

My flowers are all starting to wilt =( Worst part of getting flowers. They are so beautiful and then slowly they all fall apart - but oh my room has smelled like a florists shop. Poor Aspen had to endure it as she spent most of the weekend hanging out and helping me study for German.

Don't get me started on that subject, though. It takes up practically every minute of my life - I worry too much for someone that is only 25. No wonder why I have that lil white hair - it was German! hehe But, dreams do linger in the air and I would still love to go overseas and work on a Doctorate. Not a dream - but perhaps an ultimate goal that will make me inexplicably exuberant.

Now: for your viewing enjoyment - ala beads (Xander at play)
