Thoughts and pics during the break between semesters

Damn, I am allergic to avocados. But I love them so much. It's a forbidden love!

I got my grades in the mail yesterday. I'm relieved to have pulled off a 4.0 again. I really thought one of the teachers was going to give me a lame grade because I missed two classes due to those snowstorms (and one where they school didn't close till later.) But she was a sport, and gave me the A because I did well on the test. Very relieved! Last year when I first started, I got an A- in two classes because my Gran had just died. I guess you're supposed to report that to the school but I never did. And then when my Dad passed away I missed a final and ended up with an A- then, too. So my cumulative average is 3.987.

It's seriously not that difficult.

I'm enjoying my little two week break, spending a lot of time revising, polishing my ms, giving and receiving lots of critiques and reviews from the writing workshop, and trying really hard to make it as good as possible.

I'm also chilling, drawing, listening to music, going to the beach, playing video games, training really hard at Kung Fu, and doing tons of yardwork. In fact, just today, Mom and I finished cleaning up the entire yard. It was a massive undertaking but we finally got it done. It looks real nice out there.

I got my white lab coat in the mail. It's all starchy and new, and I absolutely didn't look like Lucrezia Crescent when I put it on. It made me feel both professional and stunningly brand new. And kind of lame. I mean, it's just massage. We need a lab coat for this? But in the clinic they want you to look all sharp. I still need the starchy white pants and white crocs.

I mentioned Kung Fu, of course. What else is new? Heh. Last night's class was one of those fabulously awesome ones. We were free to do forms, so we did a bunch of weaponless ones and then we broke out swords. It was raining a bitch, so we did them indoors. I grabbed two swords and totally nailed the butterfly twirl. I was so happy! And eventually the informal class became even less formal and a bunch of us just started doing fancy kicks and stuff like that. It was hugely fun. I would love to go to Wong Tournament this year, but of course that depends on work and money. I've always wanted to go to Wong though. *Fingers crossed*

I really thought I had something else to blather about, but I don't think I do. I'm on frakking break, I haven't been doing much. ^_^

Everything's all green, and the cherry blossoms are falling. Of course I've got a pic spam (taken with my Mom's camera which I borrowed; did I mention that my poor camera finally bit it?)

( Haku at the beach, and Sano a week post surgery, looking fly in my idyllic yard. )

This one is my fave:

Because you can see the cherry blossoms falling all around Sano.

( My new fish, an albino sucker named Ruto, and all five of my fishies in the small tank )

I had more pics of my fish in the big tank, but they somehow got lost on my hard drive. WTH?

( And some nice spring photos )

I guess that really is all I have to report at the moment. :)
