Just unbelievably busy. I've done lots of things in the past week-and-a-half or so, the trick is just to remember what they all are. And thus:
Ardith's List Of Things She Has Recently Accomplished
--with notes as necessary
1) Replaced the windshield wipers on the car today. They needed it, desperately. And now when I turn them on, they actually wipe the windshield. A major improvement.
2) Walked down to the IT shop on a random errand, got Chris to look for my shirts for this year, as well as my nametag, and verified that he has neither. I now feel justified in my laziness in not checking for them earlier.
3) Confirmed that the reason the two monitors in LH-133 seem like they're not working is because they are, in fact...
...not working. I was quite proud of myself for that one.
4) Got registered for all my classes next semester. First time ever that I haven't had to jump through a gazillion hoops to accomplish this.
5) Finally read Ender's Game over the weekend. And it was really good. As I expected it to be. But then, I usually like things that Orson Scott Card writes.
6) Also went to see a play over the weekend. Wait Until Dark. It was fairly good, I suppose, considering that this is Longview. The actress playing the blind girl did quite a good job. And the guy in front of me who was "...not from Texas, I'm from South Carolina!" and who seemed to consider rock music the bestest thing since sliced bread spent most of the intermission trying and failing miserably to get me to talk. I was highly amused.
7) Played three soccer games last week, out of which we won two. We were missing half of our best players for that last one, though, so I wasn't too disappointed. Soccer is loads of fun. The only sport I actually enjoy playing, and that I'll put lots of effort into. I have no idea why this is. And I'm actually pretty good playing defense. I have no idea why this is either. But it's a fun way for Ardith to get excercise, and I'm all for that. I'm going to be sad when the season's over.
8) Look. I've posted in my blog. Considering my posting habits of late, I think this counts as an accomplishment.
That's about all I've done, besides classes, and homework, and random other things.
In Other News, I got my copy of the 7th Annual C.S. Lewis and the Inklings Conference papers CD. Which includes mine. So I'm now officially a published author.
And in Really Nice News, a bunch of people have got together to send me home for Thanksgiving. Girls from G1, guys from 2A, people from the crew, and I'm sure random other ones. I have no idea who you all are, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It really means a lot, and it's been great to know I have so many supporters thinking and praying about me and my family.
