• Mom is coming home next week. Only for a few days, but it will be nice to see her. I might go to NYC for spring break—we talked about it briefly last night—so that would be nice. I miss all my friends there! Tomorrow is Mom's birthday and she won't be here for it, but we've planned to talk tomorrow, so that will be nice. I have her gift hidden in my room at the moment, and I will give it to her when she gets home.
• I am still hoping to go to Mexico for winter break, for anyone wondering why I'd be going to NYC in the spring and not in the winter. (It's cold there, it's cold here, all I want is to be warm!) Probably this is something I should starting really planning. I have to see if someone will come with me. I don't think I want to go alone. We'll see.
• NaNoWriMo is... haha. Well, I didn't write at all yesterday, so I'm at the same word count. I've mostly accepted that I'm not going to win this year, but I'll just write as much as I can when my homework isn't too overwhelming, and we'll see how far I get. I should be able to get out a couple thousand words tonight, though. We'll see. :> I like not being pressured about this.
• I have 18 overdue library books. I... should fix this. But I haven't finished reading the ones that I want to read, and I don't really have time to? Well, I'll return them after Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll get some reading done over a short holiday.
• Tomorrow is our last reading from either of the Bibles. I have never read the Christian Bible before, though I have read the Hebrew Bible, and this was sort of an interesting experiment in "Oh, so that's what it's all about." I have... thoughts, on this. But, in the interest of not offending anyone on my flist who is particularly observant, I won't share them with you unless you ask. That being said, my overall feeling is sort of, "Jesus said a lot of good things, and then wtf?" (Full disclosure: I was raised in the Jewish faith, and I'm a history nut and also a liberal, so if you think you might be offending by anything I would say about this, just don't ask. I promise I won't be too harsh if you do, but I can't help but have my own views on things.)
• Speaking of school, we finished translating 'The Bacchae' and we're reading some Nietzsche for next class. Not having to do a translation for class feels like a vacation. THIS IS MY HAPPY FACE, CAN YOU SEE IT?
• I have decided to finally suck it up and download the rest of Merlin season 3 and watch it. Since I now have the space on my computer for it. All I really want is Hawaii Five-0 though. Dad will be giving the most recent episode to me tonight, which I will savor lots. H5-0 Might be my favorite show currently. :> It's so pretty! And, you know, full of slash. (Also need to catch up on: House, Bones, Lie to Me, Haven, and, eventually, Big Bang Theory. Oh, and Glee but... I couldn't care less about that. The plot on that show makes my soul hurt, so I usually end up reading until they start singing again. >.>)
• There was something else I wanted to post about, and I have zero recollection of what it was.
