Wowza

I admit it, I really should stop starting posts with "Wow, it's been so long since the last one," because the obvious reality of the situation is that I'm a busy college student and (hopefully) people understand that. But, I miss writing so much that sometimes I stop and shake my head at how little I do what I love.

So! Summary. School is good. Wee stressed over the amount of work that must be done for next week, but a little of that has been relieved, as I discovered one of my essays isn't due until the following week. I cannot freaking believe November is almost over. Halloween was like, a week ago, right? My biggest worry right now is the final drawing project. To be done on a piece of paper that's 50 by 39 inches. That's big (feel free to make "that's what she said" jokes), in case you're wondering. Bigger than anything I've attempted, anyway (...). I'm not telling what my theme is though; you'll have to wait until it's completed. :P

While I have a job, I haven't gotten the chance to actually work. I finally found out it's because things are slow right now; my supervisor has to schedule supervisors and higher up people first, and I'm just not needed at the moment (Woo, tell me that now that you've hired me?). But hopefully it means that I'll be able to go through finals without the impact of having less time for studying.
It's also come in handy lately because I twinged my back again rather nicely (/sarcasm) a couple weeks ago and I've been severely crippled. The first few days I could barely walk and stand or sit; after seeing the doctor though, I started on some meds again (anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxants) and began doing yoga about two to three times a day. Now I can manage with one 20-30 minute session in the morning and be set for the rest of the day, and I'm slowly becoming stronger and more flexible again. It was so weird not to be able to do forward fold or down dog. It still takes me a few minutes to be able to relax and stretch into a full child's pose (that's how tight my lower back is in the morning). But, I am so happy to be able to move with ease again.

In other news, life is fuckin' awesome right now. And Thanksgiving this week! Yay!
