I have one more week of classes and then a project to complete by December 15th.  I can breathe again.  This semester has been such hell.  I'm not sure next semester will be any better, but I think it will be less stress in a way.  I have four classes next semester: two undergrad and two graduate level classes.  We have to take one class outside of English (level 300 or greater) for the master's degree.  So, I'm taking a theater class / playwriting.  It should be hella fun. 

I'm also taking an intro to poetry class that is a prerequisite for the teaching licensure.  I'm actually looking forward to that class quite a bit.  I think it will help ground me in poetic forms, which I desperately need before I start my own class next year. 

I'll also have the internship (same as this semester) and I'm applying for a research position that is 10 hours a week (at $14 an hour)!  It would be amazing if I got that kind of position.  It would cover all our bills per month.  Yay for that!

I can't wait for the break.  I'm going to read some serious trash: we're talking VC Andrews, Jackie Collins trash.  Oh yeah.  Mmmmmmm.

Ok, there's that week.  One more week after (of classes), then finals week, then guess what?  Friggin' BREAK TIME!  Eat me, semester.  You've sucked.

Again, to folks who don't watch Supernatural, uhhh, get busy, yeah?

This show is just getting better and better, and every season I don't think that's possible.  But it happens.

As a fan of horror (old skool mostly--we're talking 70's/early 80's stuff where horror really got interesting), I love me some Winchester boys.  The whole "hunter" feel is so fun, so rich, and the actors in this series are really top notch.

Things just keep getting more and more interesting.  Since angels were added the season before last, the show has really developed a few more layers (mmm, love me some layers).  But, for the most part, I just love Sam and Dean.  I love watching them "hunt."  I love the fact that they make fun of entire sub-genres of horror, of television trash, of everything and anything they can get their hands on.

Anyway, this season's rockin' like Dokken, baby.  Check it out if you get a hankerin' for something to rent or watch on hulu, etc.
