6 pages done?!

Wow, I've got WAY too much to do! I can't believe how quickly the end of the semester is coming. I've got a little paniced about my website last night. I went to YA class last night and was talking with my friends from my web design class. They BOTH had 6 pages done on their final website! 6 PAGES COMPLETELY DONE?! At that point I think I had one done, and one I needed to "tweek." So I flipped out and spent a good deal of time last night and this afternoon working on building my website. I'm happy to report I now have two pages compeletly done but I have 13 pages in total. The rest are in different stages of development. Some just have the outline from my sitemap while others are just missing pictures. I'm pretty happy with what I've got and it went pretty quickly. If only we didn't have all the "busy" work between now and the due date I could relax a little about that class. But the weekly chats are always over something we were to try out on our site and all that BS. I'm gonna leave that alone for a bit, and start to work on my research paper for YA now.


I've got a good lead on some more sources so I'm gonna try to get all my sources copied and/or printed by the end of this week. That way all I've got to do is read the books and put it all together...I need to start Son of a Witch this weekend and What the Dickens has just been sitting around for a week now. I also have to read Tyrell and post my reflection by Tuesday. But right now I want to focus on my research paper, typical. I also started listening to the audio book of New Moon this week for class. You can't expect me to stop in the middle just because I've got other stuff I should be reading! If I get to go home next weekend maybe I'll listen to it in the car if the CD player is working.

It's the first week of November?!

How time flies when you don't have enough of it! I can't believe October is gone. I will be in Orlando before I know it, 36 days in fact. My birthday has never seemed to get here this fast before! It's a beautiful Thursday afternoon and I have been very productive today so I thought I'd better catch up on blogging!


The Hunger Games...what a night! My team did NOT win, sadly we died. I was co-chaperone with another girl who worked at the library and we were in charge of the "yellow" team. Our girls were from Cedar Falls High school and were very excited to be in the games. It was a long night...boys, sugar, competition, and video games rarely make for a good combination. It was a neat experience to spend the night at the Rod Library though. I hope they do it again next year!

I am headed home this weekend so I have started on my homework early for a change! I have my web design post already done and I am going to be working on my YA at work tonight. I'm still working on getting What the Dickens read! I just haven't had enough time to give it my full attention lately. I will also blame Emy for giving me the new Dan Brown book to distract me from what I SHOULD be reading! I am even going to get the girls at home to help me try out some "non-book" materials for YA! I have a couple board games and movies I'd like to take a look at.

I've already got all the laundry done, and if that isn't a miracle I don't know what is! It's such a beautiful day I've even got my shades open while I've been cleaning my room. I wish I could have a day like this every week! I've gotten everything done today I wanted and I've enjoyed doing it...crazy.
