Exams

Studying.
Bah.
Painting,
wishing it weren't for class.

Home

[Welcome Caroline Grace Barber.]

Finally back home in the Delta.

Airport, how you've been missed.

Smiles create insane happiness.
Hugs were missed most of all.

Leaving

Saw cousins for a day.
Family to go their separate
ways now that obligations are
fulfilled. Wish they were closer.

Thanksgiving

Tons of food, of course,
though very different.
Many not there...still...
HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!

Birthday

Happy Birthday Grandma.
Sorry daughter and grand
didn't get there til after prodigal
grandson. Sonic became dinner.

Peppermints

Movies, peppermints, and sleep
since yesterday. Laundry, folding,
and packing til tomorrow.
Holidays are here.

Drive

School's out for Thanksgiving.
Regular morning schedule, except
for sleep. Sadness about leaving,
but excitement about going back.

Cleaning

Started out that way,
but ended up making it a home.
Pictures, candles, and bookshelves
do wonders.

Saturday

Again, to Jackson, but ended
the trip on the side of the road.
Sleep needs to be held
in higher regard.

Frost

More frost on the window,
but this time in stars.
Wonder what happened...
Really hoping for a white Christmas.

One

Early morning. Surprised sleep happened.
Biscuits were a nice surprise.
Only one real class. More hours spent in
the lab. Much trimming and fitting together.

Hours

5 hours spent in the
Ceramics lab. Red shirt turned
white. Pants definitely need to be washed.
11 down, 7 to go.

Test

Early morning bike ride to a test
not conducive to freezing temps.
No face for the rest of the day.
Moisturizer burns now.

Monday

Days start blurring together as the end
of the semester draws nearer.
When many consecutive hours are spent
in the same room, time stops.

Week

Another week. So much to do.
Classes winding down.
Gotta get the nose to the grindstone.
Time is ticking into the future.

Coffee

Blustery day in the city.
Tigger would have fun.
Piglet...not so much.
Inside, staying warm, drinking coffee.

Expectation

Glad the week is over.
Long time coming.
Still haven't started Christmas,
though songs were in the head all day.

Excitement

Morning class cancelled. Sleep instead.
Christmas is right around the corner.
Must get to creating.
Don't peek until finished.

Rain

Woke up to rain on the window.
Good omen for happiness (didn't
get stuck either). Proud of the
friends in the play. Awesome. Congrats.

Ending

Finally got the Delta pictures
sent off. 500 are miles going into
a portfolio. Who'd have thought
lunch would be this awesome?

Clothing

Cold day. First time
the black wool coat was worn.
Delta weather is something unaccounted for.
Home is where the wool is.

Pool

Practice makes better.
Playing every night helps too.
$3 gets 4 games. Student's learning,
but sometimes teaches the teacher.

Jackson

Yet again, but for meeting.
Driving to Radiohead
makes getting lost
worthwhile.

First

Bartender was very attentive.
Ice water, grilled cheese, and good
company. Friends everywhere make
for an interesting night.

Registration

Minor doesn't exist yet.
Signed up for total exhaustion.
Glad to have gotten in.
Spring '09 will involve a lot of sleep.

Money

Curses crash in the silence
of the skull. Time is not a friend.
Things should be charged when they
are actually paid for, not after.

Vote

Was called to help,
even though rejection occurred.
Watched votes come in.
Glad to be around when history is made.

Budgetless

Impulsive spenders need not apply.
Experienced person hired.
Hopefully not entirely overdrafted.
Oh, wait. Dollars and change left. We're good.

Back

Time turns back.
An hour returned
is lost
when something better is found to do.

November

Driving never gets old
when Wilco and Dave are on,
even if it is the same roads all over again.
Something new always happens.
