A Lil' Update

It's been quite a while since I've posted a general update on how things are going with me. Therefore, I think it's time I did so. =]

Part of the reason I hadn't posted in so long is because I was extremely busy getting school work done for our short get-away to Anchorage this past weekend. I'm so glad I decided not to take Forensic Anthropology in the fall or spring semesters with four other classes because I would, putting it simply, be screwed. That class is so much work it's not even funny. Plus, I'm really, really slacking on my study cards. =[ So, I've decided that instead of handwriting every study card, I'll just cut up my notes I've been taken and tape them on study cards. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me in the butt. The great news though, is that I'm halfway done with these two classes. Which I'm very excited for because I should have never taken summer classes.

My husband and I just got back from Anchorage yesterday and I had an absolute blast! I bought some summer clothes that I desperately needed and I even buckled down and bought Barnes and Noble's ebook reader, the Nook. Needless to say, I LOOOOOOVE the Nook. I have so many books it's not even funny and being that we're military, I wasn't looking forward to having a crap ton of books and moving them wherever we are sent. The lady who was talking with me about the Nook in Barnes and Noble said she had 125 boxes of books when she moved one time and honestly, that scared me because at some point I would have that many books! With the Nook though, I'll have all the books with me and won't have to worry about shelf space. Plus, the ebooks are cheaper than physical books. Of course, if I really love a book, I'm sure I'll still buy the hardcover copy (that's only if I really, really LOVE the book or series) and not all books are ebooks at the moment. For example, J.K. Rowling hasn't released the Harry Potter series to be ebooks. Now I just need to decide if I want to sell the books I don't necessarily want in physical copies and use that money to buy them on my nook. Actually, I might not do that, it'd probably wast money. Lol.

Overall, I had a blast in Anchorage. It was definitely nice to get away from Fairbanks and have some one on one time with Eric, without having to worry about school work and such. I really can't wait to go back in September. I'm counting down the days!

As far as my book goes, I think I'm either writing the ninth chapter or have finished that chapter and started the tenth chapter. I can't remember (it's been a few days since I've written). Lol. Anyway - the progress for my book is coming along greatly. I've reached the climax (for the most part) of my book and things are starting to really play out. I love it so far.

Well, that is all for now,

xoxo,
