One Week Down, One Week to Go

Last month I took part in--wait. Edit that. Last month I signed up to do NaNoWriMo at the prodding of my FPA. I had a brand new terrific idea that I got two pages into and three pages worth of character description. And that's about all I did because I was wrapping up my last paper for my very first grad class for my library science degree. I finished it on Thursday with one hour to spare. Yikes! I really need to stop procrastinating--especially since next semester I'll be taking two classes and then, with a little luck, a mini-mester class.

I also joined a gym this month and I've been three times since signing up last week. I went today to meet with my personal trainer to find out he resigned. Eh, I was fine with that since I wasn't crazy about him. He was nice and all, but I think I want to work with someone who practices what s/he preaches.

We went to see New Moon today. What a waste of good money. I think my favorite actor by far in this one was Dakota Fanning. Sad she was only on screen for about five minutes.

Finally, the mayoral election ends today. Unfortunately, I did not get to vote since I changed my address too late and my old address was out of the city--by far (since I was living in Japan). I really do hope Annise Parker wins. I really do think she is the better candidate. I also think it's silly that there are actually people voting based on her sexuality. Ridiculous. What does it matter? Some say they're worried she's going to push a gay agenda. Really? Is that what she's been doing all these years in office? Eh, I think I'll leave it there for now. [Later edit--it's official. She won! Yea!]

I have one more week of school left before the holidays. Won't it be glorious to be off for two weeks! I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts since I doubt I'll get the same benefits when I become a librarian.
