Life is pretty crazy these days. I'm still totally consumed by my Anthropology class, but I'll be done with that come December. Oh, December is going to be...interesting! I'm heading back to Humboldt for the holidays to visit Grandma, the family and friends--I just hope I can fit visiting everyone I can into such a short, hectic week.

Wait, "hectic"? , who moved in with me recently (see previous journal,) is coming out to her own family while up in Humboldt. It's going to be really tough, but I know she can do it. I just wish her Dad wasn't such a jerk--I have a feeling that she'll get a unpleasant surprise from him. C'est les vie....At least she knows she has me to lean on.

Speaking of Eryn, she and I went Trick-or-Treating on Halloween! We had a blast. Who says I'm too old for that sort of thing? Besides, I was repeatedly mistaken for a 16 year old...Which, normally, I'd have some major qualms over, but--hey, if it means candy and costumes, I'm all up for some fun.

I'm registering for my next semester classes soon....I swear to god I'm going to have a quarter-life crisis. I've been in school too long....I hate that I'm required to take classes that don't fall under the "English" major category. Seriously, why would a novelist need Algebra? No body uses that stuff! But I digress; I've really enjoyed a lot of the classes that aren't necessarily English. Eryn might take up a ASL class along the way, and I'm super tempted to join her. It'll be a nice break from the hardcore courses I've taken in the past, right?

What it comes down to is, I've got no life right now. I cannot wait for Christmas so I can go home. I miss the redwoods...hell, I just miss being able to relax. I'll see what I can do as far as stories come once I'm on break. I've got a few ideas brewing in my head. Meanwhile, I'm thinking of you all; I haven't forgotten you.
