Nothing like a great morning in Hebrew to turn a crappy weekend into a start off for the week. Let's just say that my weekend was full of stress and frustration and irritation and emotional lows, and well, I didn't have any ambition to start this week, not at all. Got three tests, need to go up to the health center, gotta find out how to get a new insurance card, gotta trim my hair...not exactly highlights for a good week.

Hebrew made life all better. We're currently working on the Beynim and the different types of verbs, their passive forms, etc. Not easy stuff to recognize, particularly in an ancient textual passage. Well, Carli asked Chris if he'd write a song about it and play it for us in Hebrew. Haha, Chris wrote a song on how to remember the different forms fo the Beynim to Do-Re-Mi with some amazing lyrics. They would make no sense to a person who hasn't spent the last semester and a half with us, but man...it's amazing. Viper getting into a brawl and Lambdin wearing a dress...I swear, we border on sacreligious or something...I love those guys!

Thanks to Bonnie (one of my Apt. 50 buddies) I found an odd glitch in the BYU instructor's class schedule search. It almost acts like an alumni search, but not quite. It lists all students at BYU, BYU-Idaho, and BYU-Hawaii as well as some past alumni. Bonnie found some siblings and uncles that never attended BYU. I didn't find Court, but I found Mom with her married name still living at Grandma's, Dad living in my grandparent's old house in Los Gatos, Grandpa with a huge DECEASED label but still giving his McKay building office number (he's been dead 25 years and yet they still have his office room and phone number saved?), Katie with Hanford as both of her addresses, my aunts and uncles with ancient Provo addresses and Grandma's as the permanent address, I think I found one of my friend's dad's with his address in Fresno...it's insane. So, BYU folk, go to AIM, instructor class schedule, and search. You never know what you might find.

Started my 12days_of_clois fic. I figured it was time to start seeing as I'm the one going first. I think my plot idea got me in over my head. So far I'm still pretty much in the introduction and I'm over 1000 words in. To get Lois and Clark to their intended destination is going to take at least another 600 words or so, and then I know getting them out of that predicament is going to take approx. 10,000 words, give or take. You guys on the site, if it ended up being 14,000 words or so, do you think that'd be too long to get people to read it?

Alas, I'd love to keep rambling, but there is history to be done! Later, guys!

Where had January gone? I mean, seriously. Where has the month gone? It's seriously went poof!

( incredibly long school babble )

Life around the apartment has been...interesting. The stories certainly racked up this weekend. Seriously, all you have to do is mention the boot around our apartment and we both die of laughter. Perhaps I will share that story with you another time. =P bwahaha

And, since January is coming to a close, just a quick rundown of my various updates:
- Userinfo and journal layout almost done. Userinfo is particuarly ammusing at the moment. It's so only half done. Take a look if you're curious starrylites
- mashthepotatoes got a face lift. I'm much happier with the graphics now.
- I officially joined the Dark Side that is Smallville. I'm hooked to the show, even the soap opera. *sigh*
- new L&C video about 70% done. Kinda stuck currently
- Wrote my piece for 12days_of_clois Got to post it on the 2nd.
- Made a very Lois & Clark post in mashthepotatoes.
- Posted an Elizabeth Swann tutorial in mashthepotatoes.
- Posted icons and banners of OotP, Smallville, and POTC in mashthepotatoes.


Oh, and a new friend to the group! Just throwing a hi there and welcome to katshakespeare! She found me on 12days_of_clois and we obsess about the same things. Go us!
