The Re-Return of the Procrastinating Poster

Currently reading: Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy [For those of you who have seen Inkheart, do you remember this quote? "Well, for the love of Thomas Hardy!"]
Most recently watched movie: Casablanca
Current favorite quote: "You Yourself contain all things and it is by containing things that You fill them. For those vessels which are full of You do not, as it were, keep You in a fixed condition; since, if they were broken, You would not be dispersed. And when You are poured out over us, it is not You who are brought low but us who are raised up, not You who are scattered but us who are brought together. You who fill everything are wholly present in everything which You fill." -from St. Augustine's Confessions [Yes, I'm reading that, too!]

Well, folks, it has been awhile, hasn't it? I have to say that I am just about the worst blogger ever. :P Ah well.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that!! I can't say I'm less busy than I was last year (see all the complaining in my last post), but I'm determined to not let it bog me down. My classes this year consist of:

(Homeschool)
Theology of the Body (again)
British Literature (again)
Chemistry (again)
Economics
Algebra II (not a co-op class)
Latin (not a co-op class)
Home Economics (not a co-op class)

(College)
College Composition I
Guitar
Yoga

So yes, I'm still busy. I'm pretty excited about this semester, though. I just had my first College Composition class at the college yesterday, and it looks like it will be really cool. My teacher rocks, which always helps. ;) I'm super excited about my guitar and yoga classes. I actually was supposed to have my first guitar class today, but I was late because I couldn't find the building, so I missed it. Eh, story of my life. :P I have to say that I'm a little bit leerie of my yoga class, if only because of the "spirituality" that generally accompanies yoga. But I'm doing it for the sake of exercise, and hopefully I won't have a very "spiritual" teacher. Cross your fingers. ;)

I really want to get back into writing. I didn't have much of a chance last semester to do any of my own writing; it was mostly for school. Our computer is also currently getting "fixed", and of course all my writing files are on that computer, so I can't access them right now. My book is calling to me! That isn't to say I've been paying much attention to it lately, anyway, because I haven't. ;)

Well, I hope I'm not being boring, just going on and on and on. But I guess I have to make up for all those lost months, right? Please forgive me for neglecting this blog so long....I don't mean to sound repetitive, but I really do hope to get back into the swing of things!!

Pax Christi,

Well, I guess it's been quite a long while since I last posted!! I apologize. I have been so busy though. School has just completely smothered me; and other activities have added to the load as well. For instance, today I literally had classes ALL DAY. Now wait a minute, you might say, aren't you homeschooled? What are these classes you're talking about? Well, yes, I am homeschooled, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm doing co-op classes with some friends of ours who are in our homeschool group. So, yeah, that was today. Afterwards, I had a creative writing class at the community college near us, and then right after I had Driver's Education classes for four hours. So I had classes from 8:30 in the morning to 9:00 at night.

Ugh.

Super ugh.

I am enjoying most of the classes, however. Like I said, I am taking a creative writing class at a community college, and that has been lots of fun. Then, for the co-op classes, I'm taking British Literature (one of the best classes ever!! We're currently reading "Pride and Prejudice" <3), Theology, American Government, and Chemistry. Brit Lit and Theology are two amazing classes, AG is okay, and Chemistry is terrifying. :P As for the Driver's Education classes, however, they are some of the most boring hours I have ever spent in my entire life. Four hours a day, three days a week, for two weeks, of constant lecturing and watching driving videos that were made in the 80's. So much information is forced into your brain that it comes in one ear and goes out the other. Anyways, at least when it's all done I can get my permanent driver's license. :) Oh yes, that makes up for it all.... *mwahahaha*

I'm so sad. Apricotpie.com is closing its doors!! That has been my writing support for so long. I'm going to miss it sooooo much. I'm thinking about starting a writing blog so I can post my pieces of writing, or something like that. Keep your eyes open! :)

Well, as it is late, I must go to bed. I apologize for the short post, but hopefully I'll be able to get back into the habit of posting somewhat regularly. God bless you all!

Pax,

Clare
