Invitations Go Out on Monday!!

FINALLY I got everything sized and cut properly for my Halloween Party invitations! I printed off 20 and have used all but 3. I bought a book of stamps about 2 weeks ago, and I'm buying printable address labels tomorrow when I grocery shopping. I'm on a roll! Not to mention I finally got done the list of all the ingredients I'll need for the party. I'm getting there.

I still haven't ordered my dress. I need to know my size...and I'm not sure. I could go ahead and order the rest of it (it's one size fits all), but that'll cost me more in shipping when it all comes down to it. I'm going to try and stop by the mall tomorrow to see if I can skip shipping altogether on some of the stuff. I know what my outfit will look like...now I need to figure out what my mask will look like. I should try to look up some masks on Google or something. And I need shoes. I own, like, 7 or 8 different boots, but I'm know sure if I want to wear any of them. Hmmm....decisions.

Well, I'm off. See you!

Still Not Enough Time, But Doin' Better

Well, I dropped my History of the Balkans class. I decided that, of all my classes--which all, at different points, require alot of work--that was the one I could spare. It was an elective in my History minor. So, I dropped it. I was so nervous! You have to go to the instructor of the class directly and first to get their signature before you can drop it. I had to get up at 8am Thursday, walk across campus, and wait outside his door until he showed up. My mouth and throat were dry and that + nervousness = nearly throwing up. I gagged three times on my way over. I think I may have anxiety issues. Which would be my luck. However, the professor was really cool about it. He totally understood. I relaxed a great deal after that. The W period doesn't end here until Oct. 20, so I got no hassle from the Registar's Office either. Big load off my shoulders. Plus, more free time to do other things (i.e. other classwork, Halloween Party work, sleeping, and various other fun things).

My classes have sort of given me a break this weekend. The only thing due in Monday is some critiques on poems (btw, this monday is the first time my poems are going to be critiqued. Wish me luck! I'm so scared that no one is going to like them!) and my take home test (nope, still not done. However, the teacher is really lax on deadlines, so that's a plus.) Tuesday I have a US History I test, but I couldn't be less worried about that thing. It's mostly multiple choice and it's a sophomore/freshman level class. Plus he gave us a "terms to study" sheet. Sheesh. There's a huge part of me that loves that class as well as hates it. Well, dislike. Can't hate a class that easy.

So, what am I doing this weekend? Well, tonight I making myself some BBQ chicken pizza (let's hope that turns out well), FINALLY finishing up those invites, making so many lists it's not even funny, writing (for me!), printing out those poems for CW (which I may or may not critique tonight), cleaning the room, and watching SGA at 9pm. And then I'm going to bed early (earlier than I usually do) to get up at 6:30 to go with Preston to get my hair cut. Then I'm going to do my normal Sunday routine. Which I'll spare you.

Well, I'm off. This blog is actually on my list of things to do tonight, so check that off! Go me! I feel so accomplished (not really)! Love to all!

So Much to Do And Never Enough Time

Isn't that the truth? I've got to put up at least three poems (well, two, at least, but I'm aiming for three) for my Creative Writing class. I think I'm putting up a revised version of my very first poem. I've got a 5-7 page paper due for History of Balkans and the exam the following week in that class is three identifies (a paragraph each) and an essay. I've got a quiz tomorrow in Chaucer. I've got to have poems critiqued for CW class by tomorrow. I've got a Linguists test I haven't finished yet (it's a take-home test). About the only class I'm not really worried about is American History I. So, how much of this have I got finished? Zlich. Nada. Nothing. The Big Zip.

Also, I've still got to print and send the invatiations to my Halloween Party, order my costume, finish shopping for the decorations, make a list of all the need ingrediants for the foodstuffs, shop for the foodstuffs, make the foodstuffs, make sure I get all the RSVPs in time, finish setting up the games, and I'm sure many more things. How much of this have I got finished? See answer above.

And I don't even want to get into my Xmas shopping. Nope. Not going there.

So, what am I going to do right this moment in time? I'll tell you. I'm going to take my happy ass over and post on Girls' Night Out, an RPG I'm playing on.

Speaking of that, there is this noob that has been posting....HORRIBLY INCORRECTLY on that RPG. He hasn't read the rules, he hasn't done what's been asked of him, hasn't even responded to my OOC comments directed towards him. People, I'm the Adminstrator of the forum that Girls Night is in. Yeah. He deliberate ingorned the admin. So I banned him. My fellow RPGers were so happy, they were making plans to back me up if he intended to start flaming me. They hated this kid just as much as I do. One RPGer actually printed out the OOC that I wrote that told him of his current banned status and duct taped it to my dorm door. It's still there. I'm proud of it. Now, I'm justing waiting for his response. Well, actually, I'm gonna go post. See you!

Follow-Up and Accidents

Following up on my last post, Edamerica has again bumped the disbursment date to Sept. 4. This is getting so ridiculous that even the director of our fianacial aid department emailed us, telling us this date. Even he sounded skeptical! Now, generally, I'm a kind person. Sept. 4 is the last straw. If I don't have money by Sept. 4, I'm changing lenders. Up yours, Edamerica!

Do you know that this is making local news? I didn't. Not until last night, anway.

Anyhow, on a much more positive note: my friends and family are so helpful right now. My mother deposited $50 into my account (money she's owes me, but I know she could really use) just because she thought it could help. I mentioned my fiance helping me with groceries, well, he's also getting me the ink I need now. And then, last night, I got a telephone call from my Dad telling me that I didn't have to worry about paying him back and that, if he could help, he would. I also mentioned my timesharing two books with two of my friends. Well, one of them had previously offered to loan me the cash for my books. I don't want to accept not knowing when I could pay her back. But, guys, all of you, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! All of you, even a few I haven't mentioned, because I know they would help if they could.

Now on a less positive note, but slightly funny one: My dad had an accident at work. My mom called and tell me about it. He lost two of his fingertips and they've got him at home for 4-6 weeks and drugged up. Now, nothing about that is funny, don't misunderstand me. I cried when I first heard about it. What the funny part is is that right before my mom told me exactly what his accident entailed (i.e. the lost fingertips), she said, and I quote, "He's all right. He's fine." Fine? Fine in my book does not constitute the lost of two fingertips, Mom! But I guess it could have been worse, so I'm just glad he's alive.

Well, that's it for now. I'm off to write. Channel my fury and relief into much needed prose and poetry! Tootles!

Of Chaucer and Student Loans...

Little introductory note I missed: I'm engaged....I know, it's bad I forgot to mention it. But I think the reason is that I've been engaged for years now, dating him for longer, and he is just so much a part of my daily life that I assume most people who know me know that. And most who will actually read this blog do.

Anyway, on to what I'm actually blogging about. Today was a bad day. Not horrible. Could have been worse. But definitely not good. Of course, school has been, generally, a mixture of good and bad. My classes and teachers this semester--thankfully--have fallen into the good category. However, I do have to translate Middle English to read my Chaucer homework. Makes my head want to explode, but is also kinda fun. Linguists turned my brain to mush, but when I step back, I really get what's going on. Teachers for both those classes are great! Creative writing is so much fun and so challenging (in a great way)! I started working on my history minor, and it's great. I feel a little old in my US History I class. Sometimes, I get a little lost in some of my classes. Now let me move onto the bad and tell you why...

Edamerica, the lender I get my student loan through, keeps bumping further away the disbursment of money to my school. They say that they are having trouble getting it to the school. First it was the 7th of August. Then the 15th. Then the 28th (tomorrow). But when I emailed Edamerica, they said mid to late September. This won't do. All in all I have to have like 9-10 books. I have 2. I'm time-sharing--thanks to my two glorious friends--2 more of them. Difficulty? Yes. Am I pissed? Like you wouldn't believe.

Thanks to the delay of the loan, I have to use my fiance's help to get groceries. I can't afford a $10 black ink refill that I desperately need for Creative writing. It all just sucks. Well, that was my bitch fit. I'm gone.

Meet Me!!

An introductory post. My name is PatriciaLouise. A boring screenname, I know. But it's easier for me to remember. Let me tell you a bit about myself, and this thing I live in called the Trishverse!

I am 22, a little over 5 feet tall, and tend to get very squeaky when I'm really excited or really angry. I am a child of the past, present, and the future. I love history--it's my minor, actually. I love 80s music. I attend the local Renaissance Faire every year. I love to relive old, funny stories. Yet, I know how to work a computer. I know what a good majority of the recent slang of today means. I love to write. I enbrace many genres of fiction, my favorites being horror, fantasy, sci-fi, fantasy, and romance (when it is properly mixed with another genre).

Ever see the TV show Friends? Yeah, well, I'm Monica. I'm organized. Unbelievably so. Let me put it this way: I love holidays, and I have a purple binder devoted to anything and everything related to my holiday plans.

As for my boring screenname, be glad. I'm known elsewhere as Patricia de Lioncourt, PatriciaSnape, and PatriciaTepes. I live in my own little world known as the Trishverse. In the Trishverse, villains run rampant. The Joker, Darth Vader, Negaduck, Count Dracula, and many others. But fear not, visitors to the Trishverse! These psychos are securely trapped inside a large glass maze so that I may examine them. I intend to use my findings to create a great villain one day!!

So, dare to enter? This bit of rambling is only the beginning...

Moving...'Nuff Said

So, I've created a blog. Always wanted to. However, I'm currently in the middle of unpacking my stuff in my dorm. I'll be back to introduce the Trishverse later. Ciao!
