My short (read: VERY SHORT) story came in second for my college's writing competition for the staff! Mind you, I was up against professors and even some of the professors in my office! I didn't expect it to come in the top three, but I'm happy. It was a little fairy tale I wrote called "The Turtle and the Butterfly".
I've been waiting for this for aaaaaaaaaaages! It's finally happening!

A three foot tall candle arrived at my house today. I'm very, very pleased.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

I love it when old recipes, especially family recipes, come together even if I've made it before multipe times. That said, I'm now in possession of about 3 lbs of chopped liver and onions with all the fixings. Send help and possibly a cardiologist.

So, I finally have a life again. Handed in my thesis on the 31st and spent the time since then recovering at my parents' place. During the end, I barely ate or slept plus my anxiety was acting up quite bad. But now I'm in a much better shape and besides from starting to feel a bit cooped up at my parents' (my mum keeps asking me about my job plans every hour...and puts Easter eggs on our basil...) I am very glad that everything is finally over.
I already know from one of my correctors that they'll let me pass with a 1.3, which sucks, but they're impressed that I managed to write something vaguely coherent in 2 months when you usually have 6 months for it. I haven't heard back from my other corrector yet and therefore am a bit anxious but everybody says that they'll think he'll let me pass even if it's just with a 1.0. So I either got a 2.6 or 2.7 GPA which still sucks since the manifesto of doom (as I like to call my thesis) dragged my grades down quite a bit but at least it's over now. In the last days of writing I just wanted to pass and kept writing and writing....so I know that it's not a very good thesis.
Conclusion: Do I have the worst time mangement skills ever? Yep. Am I proud of it? Nope. Am I angry at myself? Yes. Was it an academical fiasko? Totally. Would I do things differently if I ever get to write again? Absolutely.
In the end, I still got positive things out of my thesis even though they're not academic. I realised how many wonderful friends I have who sent me WhatsApp messages during the night to keep me from falling asleep while writing, cheered me up on Skype, brought me food when I forgot to eat, let me stay over at their place because it's closer to the lab so I can be there earlier and drove me to the administration office so I could hand in my thesis 30 minutes before the deadline. Oh, and for the first time in forever, my mum said that she loves me no matter what grade I get on the thesis.
And if I'm lucky and my landlady doesn't forget that she offered to take me with her, I'm going on a short road trip to England next week.
Now, I just have to hope that people are right about my other corrector and he'll really let me pass and that some company wants a person with an MA in Digital Humanities.
Somehow in the chaos that has been my life lately, I've lost 40 pounds without noticing. So, pretty happy with that. Pretty sure the flu played a factor, but it's still nice, so now I'm motivated to lose more.
My fiance took me out for a great birthday yesterday (he can't be here on Monday, work is OP). Among the things we did was eat at one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn and saw the movie "Your Name". He also gave me a kindle as a gift and a solar orbit necklace.
Power nap achieved! Not a huge deal, I know. But, my sleep schedule has been so off of late. And today's the first day where I actually -feel- suitably rested in a long while.

That one were a boy and girl switch bodies in their dreams?

I made it through Holy Week! And returned to Lusternia just in time to see my guild die (no, that's not a rant).

Oh ho ho. So a year or so back I convinced a friend to hang out with cute nerdy guys in California who were around for E3. "But this is silly," she protested, "I'll never even see them again!" WELL GUESS WHO HAD LUNCH WITH ONE OF THE CUTE GUYS FROM CALIFORNIA TODAY.
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
No. Birds are amazing, and beautiful little feathered munchkins. Except for hawks, falcons, kestrels, etc... they are beautiful, majestic feathered munchkins.

An hour long presentation that I had to do was cancelled, and I'll simply have that deleted from my grade.
My final for a statistics class I was doing meh in was cancelled, with the grade being rolled in to my group project.
My final for another course was cancelled, being replaced with a 3 page reflection.
Both group projects I have for the semester have been extended by a week.
My two remaining finals have been demoted to non-cumulative tests.
Basically everything I was worried about have been deleted. I don't actually have a single final for this semester. The iron bar of stress has vanished, as I now have time to get everything done right. Don't even need to study.

Doctor called to tell me they've found out another reason why my everything went to shit the other day. I'm very anemic. Ferritin level is 6.7. Total iron count is 23.
Last weekend was probably the worst of my life, on top of several of the worst months of my life. I've had incredible support and now that I'm through the worst, stuff is looking good. Got housing sorted, got food, got money, got plans. Thank you to everyone who has been so awesome and kind and patient. I'm not the best at asking or taking help, so I am very appreciative to the lovely people in this community for caring even if I try to hide from it.
