Week In Review: April Showers Are Actually Marvel Fan-Tears

Next week is the final week of classes before finals officially begin. I need to get a move-on with a story idea I intend to send to publishing houses this summer. And... I just watched Avengers: Infinity War yesterday. The culmination of 10 years' worth of movies. I won't say anythi…

Week In Review: Busy as a Bee On a Sugar High

Oh, these?  They're how I'm reacting to my schedule for the next few weeks, that's all. I have a final in Spanish due two weeks before the end of the class, which means I will have three weeks of finals.  Now, that might seem like a good deal because they're spread out, but lemme t…

The Road to "My Compass Home" : Meet Ellie

Week In Review: From Zero to Sixty

I wish I would have thought about taking a picture of my class to-do list this week before I started crossing things off, because it totally filled an entire copy page...with small handwriting. But the important thing is that it's done with.  Mostly. For another week.  Anyway. Currently readi…

Walt's Wonderings, Part 2

January 30th  My parents are back from London!  If I didn't know better, I'd think Mom adopted a bit of a British accent.  Either that, or she's just trying to be lighthearted and stand apart from the Kentucky accent everyone has.  Regardless, my father's home and seems to be doing o…

Week In Review: April Showers and Student Tears

Ah, April in college...thou art heartless.  I don't quite understand why professors don't collaborate to stagger the exam schedule, but that's fine.  I'll just be over here...rocking in a corner muttering nonsensically.  This is the thing that keeps me somewhat sane during college a…

The Road to "My Compass Home": Meet Levi

Originally, I considered ditching the idea of writing more books for the "Faith, Hope, and Love" collection if they weren't about Spencer and Lucy.  However, those who have read Welcome Home said they really wanted to learn more about Morgan and Levi.  With some plot work, I've de…

Jo's Journey, Part 2

January 29th Well, today my linguistics mastery caught up with me.  Ended up speaking an entire paragraph in German to one of my Chinese transfer students at the college.  They were as confused as I was.  I  blame it on the headache.  Thankfully, she took it well...but I think she has this idea tha…
