I'm BaaaAAAaack...

... but I can't guarantee that I'll stick around. I'll try, I'll really really try, but Christmas happened, and there were holidays, and then my classes up at COCC started up and, then I began to wonder "why do I even blog?" which was a question I couldn't actually come up with an answer for, and...well you get the picture. I'm busy. But I got to thinking and, hey, I  miss it here, even if most of the time I don't know what to blog about. 

Anyhoo, here is some of the stuff I've been up to.

Yet another book mark. What can I say, book marks are
to me what scarves are for a knitters trying to learn new
techniques. (If you don't knit or make book marks...I
don't think we can relate.)

And this is a little thing I like to call the journal pouch. In it I keep any supplies I typically write with, though not the pens or pencils, those are just to make the picture look better. But I keep my writing prompts there, a list of topics I want to write about, writing exercises, and even a couple of my favorite writing themed quotes. 

Last but not least in the arts and crafts arena is my USB flash drive cover, made from beads!

I've been doing more than arts and crafts though. What was one of the things I mentioned earlier. Oh that's right. College. 

It is definitely a new experience for me, never have actually ever been in a class room setting before. I different, I'm not going to say it is better or worse than being home-schooled, per say. I don't think I would have learned very well in that kind of setting when I was younger, but now I can benefit from such an arrangement. I'm actually writing way more now than I used to because one average there's about one essay a week between the two classes, American Lit and English Composition, that I'm taking. (The upside is that there aren't really that many test.)

And now anousing...da da da da......da da daaaaaaaa...da da da da da daaaaaaaaaa...da da...da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

I am now on Pinterest. I've actually been on it for a while, but I just now started pinning things. The first month I thought it was totally lame and not worth my time, but then I was struck with the feeling you find yourself in of not wanting to really do anything so you fiddle with on your computer; check your Facebook page you usually only look at twice a week, play solitaire and Google random things. Well I went to Pinterest, happened to find a page full of interesting things, and now I can't seem to stop. Grrrr. The up side is that it is very easy only to spend a couple minutes on it a day and still pin quite a number of things. No reason to go crazy.
