In which Sky has a (somewhat) productive two days.

• Yesterday, I registered for classes for next semester. I am so so so excited. I have 8am classes every morning again, but if I could do it this semester, I can do it next semester and then never get out of bed before 10am ever again. I am taking:

- Religion & Image (fulfills my last of the "liberal arts" core requirements) MWF 8-9:05am
- Milton & Paradise Lost (originally a Religious Studies class, but I convinced them to let me take it as a Lit class :D) TR 8-9:40am
- Gothic Lit: 19th c. British/American Literature (which I thought had Jane Eyre on the reading list, but I was mistaken, alas, but does have Dracula) TR 10-11:45am
- Techiniques of Creative Writing: Poetry (with the current Chair of the Creative Writing department) W 2:15-5:15pm
- Independent Study (hopefully with my Fiction teacher from this semester, but we're working on it, and hopefully on some sort of fantasy something) TBA

I wonder if, some other semester, someone would be interested in doing an Austen/Brontë IS with me... Or maybe a Young Adult one... Hmm.

• Yesterday I also picked my mom up from the airport and brought her home. She's here til Saturday. But her birthday is Friday, so we're spending that time together and it will be good. :)

• I think between yesterday and today I've only added another 1k words to my NaNoWriMo. /o\ I am so far behind. I think I'll write some tonight, so hopefully that's not all I've got in me for today. Hopefully I'll be able to do some catching up this weekend after my mom leaves. I don't really have any big assignments for next week that I know of yet* so I will have time. I have several scenes in my head that just need to be written down, though. I likely have about 10k words worth of things in my head, and then I will have to actually find a plot. Because, yeah, so far I have no plot. Whoops.

* Actually, I have to finish my Peter Pan short story and a non-fiction piece for my writing classes next week. Hm.

• I actually wrote this post yesterday and thought I posted it already, and I was getting all sad that no one was commenting on my classes for next semester. Then I opened my MacBook and discovered the post page still sitting open. What even.

• I accidentally slept for 3 hours just now. I was laying on my bed (reading the free Kindle copy of Jane Eyre actually) and then my mom was asking me if I wanted some pasta for dinner. Whoops. I should have been writing in that time. Definitely going to write in just a little bit.

• Speaking of Kindles, actually: I'm spending Christmas with my mom and her guy-person (who I've dubbed my godfather, since that's an easy relation) and he asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I told him, "Actually, since you ask, I want a Kindle." He mentioned that since I also have a birthday in close proximity to Christmas, that a Kindle might be in my future. I am a little giddy with glee. My Gram usually gets me a gift certificate to Amazon for my birthday, so if I get a Kindle and a gift certificate, I'll be able to stock my Kindle with all my favorite books. :) Anyway, fingers crossed, because that would be amazing.

I think that's it for now. I use the word "actually" a lot.
