A jumble! A break!

That photo was taken on a walk by this pond where I live. The pond is really nice for swimming in during the summer. It's located in this wooded area by a community college in my neighborhood.

Today has been good so far. Right now I'm just cleaning up my room at my parent's house (I've been visiting for Thanksgiving break). Listening to Cat Power, doing laundry, thinking thinking thinking. On Wednesday I went to a bookstore and bought Cien sonetos de amor [One hundred sonnets of love] by Pablo Neruda so I could attempt to slog my way through each one. So far the sonnets have been really saucy -- such as this line, "Oh invádeme con tu boca abrasadora", which means Oh invade me with your scorching mouth. Aye aye!

School has been going well. As Lauren was saying in one of her posts (hi there you!), I also try to do as well as possible with my classes, which mainly translates to the extreme desire to achieve As. I feel I'll pull it off this semester, which will be nice. But but if I do end up with a B that'll be fine too. Lately I've tried to not over-stress about school since that can only lead to lots of trouble!

There's so much I want to set down, to type right now, but I'll wait. Wait wait wait. If you feel like additional reading go on and check out my 'writings' journal on LJ -- todancewith.

Thanks for reading!

Finally! The weather has shown its chilly face!

I'm such a huge sucker for colder weather. Mainly because I can turn my heat on in my apartment and feel all snug and... warm. I dunno -- there's just something about the cold, frigid (snow-filled, hopefully) air blowing against my windows while I'm inside the glow of my third-floor apartment that makes me smile. Maybe it's a testament that I feel accomplished in being able to have an apartment with bills and food costs while juggling work and school and life and all that.

I'm so sososo ready for winter.
I'm at my parent's house right now -- and being called to help make some green-bean dish! I'll write more later. It's been awhile y'all -- how are things?
