In a long absence...

I have working quite diligently on a new project that I am hoping to debut soon. I have also been reading, I have been reading a lot. Sadly, mostly for school but I am taking Young Adult Literature so I have been reading some interesting novels that I probably would not have picked up on my own. I just finished Liar's Club by Mary Karr, Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons, and Maus by Art Speigelman. I am trying to finish up The Raging Quiet by Sheryl Joradan, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and The Relam of Possibilities by David Levithan. So I will have some wonderful mini reviews to share soon.
I haven't been to raid the thrift stores lately, which my husband is very happy about. We have run out of room on all our book shelves. But I did pick up another copy of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter last week for a dime.

Oh the horror...

I am attempting to go back to school. I have forgotten how many hoops you have to jump through to be able to get in a class. I have already earned a degree and want to take some classes to prepare me for grad school which I will (cross your finger) be starting in the spring.
For some reason this idea is foreign to every staff member I have talked to in that past week.
My transcripts were late coming in so I have already missed two days of class. Luckily I have a meeting today with the head of the English Department. I just want to go to class. I am such a nerd.
