Post-college adulthood has hit me full force over the past two weeks. I've moved back in with my parents for the time being, and I'm working a temporary full-time job until I land one that's not temporary. I'm planning on starting school again in the summer at a different institution, because the school I left is unwilling to help me reverse my problem. I'd go on a rant about disablist discrimination, but I won't go there. Word from the wise, DON'T EVER EVER EVER GO TO GRADUATE SCHOOL FULL TIME. IT WILL KILL YOU. 
Just one or two classes a semester is all you need. Any more than that and you're just asking for a death wish. In the meantime I'm just going to give it a rest until I've completely settled into my new-ish home. I will be going back to school soon so I can finish this degree, because I don't like leaving big life goals unfinished.

I will be going back to school soon so I can finish this degree, because I don't like leaving big life goals unfinished. And I must apologize for my absence lately! I just don't have a lot of time to spend online like I used to. When I opened dA today I had close to 600 messages in my inbox. Jeezus! I think I'm going to make my visits to dA weekly rather than daily now. I'm not closing up shop here; I'm just fitting my dA time in whenever I can. My normal computer time has been replaced by cardio workouts. Hey, I feel great otherwise! I just need to readjust my sense of "moderation" when it comes to computer usage.
To anyone who's wondering, I did not participate in NaNoWriMo this year. Moving, settling into a new job and a new workout routine, and readjusting to living with other people has been occupying my writing time. I've got plenty of writing ideas scribbled down in a notebook somewhere, but I just don't have the time to manifest them into good stories right now. Settling down will take a lot of time to do.
In other news, less computer time means more time to sit down and read those books I've been meaning to read but never got around to because of school or some other obligation. Yay!
Until next time!
*Blows off the dust*
I've been taking a break from DA for a while. A little too long, actually, since I've been busy with a full time job and grad school 2.0. Yes, I have finally returned to grad school after a two-year long battle with depression, and this time, I believe I will succeed and get that Master's degree I've been pursuing for far too long. I'm only going to school part time, as I have a full time job that takes up most of my life now. (I guess if you listen to Huey Lewis & The News's "Hip to be Square", the lyrics pretty much sum up what's been going on in my life ^^; )
In the meantime, I've been spending most of my internetz time on Tumblr (my

Just haven't had much to do here, that's all. ANYWAYS, here's a little update on what I've been up to:
I'm taking a break from graduate school for a little while longer. I'll be attempting to apply to other schools for the following Fall semester, but for right now, I need to take my mind off it. After all the crap I've been through battling depression and dealing with trying to fix my academic problems, I need some time away from it. I'm not going to rant about it further, because it's only going to upset me; I've been having a great day today, and I don't want to ruin it.

Status Report
I'm going to be out of town visiting my family for most of next week. We're renting a condominium down by the beach, so it's going to be nothing but swimming, surfing, and beach-combing for five days straight. I won't have a lot of time to do much on DA--maybe a favorite or two, but I'm expecting to be away from my computer quite a bit.
In other news, I'm going to see Pacific Rim in an hour. I'll have a review posted soon (if not tonight, then tomorrow if I've got a few minutes to spare). I have to go to work right after...they're having me work the late after-hours shift so we can move merch around. After working the early-early morning shi

I'm with you on full-time grad school. What an ordeal! My problem was, if I went full-time and also did some work for the university, the state would pay my way. Otherwise, going part-time, tuition & fees were out of own pocket. I stuck with it as long as I could, but finally threw up my hands and decided to re-evaluate my need for an advanced degree after my kids were grown & out of the house. (Still waiting on that one. One just move out; one just moved back in & brought a wife and baby with him.)
I hope next year works out better for you.
