Today, I'm wearing my tie skirt. I love wearing my tie skirt. It's a fun skirt and it's especially fun to see peoples' reactions.

As of this moment, I'm about to leave on spring break.

I'm going to go to English class just long enough to talk to my teacher a little .. I presented a short-story explication on Wednesday, and today's agenda is for more people to do the same thing. Normally, I'd consider it rude for me not to stay around for theirs, but this time I'm overwhelmed with out-of-school work that needs to get done before I leave, and I'm considering it a justifiable exception.

I'll post my most recently graded assignment -- my character sketch -- here for your reading pleasure sometime during break.

I've got no over-break homework that I haven't yet done in Communications or Computers. I've got a few journals to write for English, and may end up making a thing or two for ceramics.. but probably not. I'm not even sure where the clay I brought home is, actually. Which is ok, because our kiln's never gonna get fixed anyway. Oh, was that the pessimist in me talking? Hehe.. sorry. It's just a bit discouraging watching the projects pile up and never getting to finish them.

Anyway.. this is my plan for spring break:

Today -- leave town, hit the new Sonic on the way to DC. Get to Jammin' Java, in DC, around 5:30 or 6. Watch the Christopher Williams concert there tonight. Stay with a very fun online friend and her family.

Tomorrow -- drive to Atlanta. Stay with good friends Renee and Darrin. Relax, enjoy my visit.

Rest of break -- visit more with eenerni, her hubby, and various and sundry other friends in the Atlanta area. Eat at The Dwarf House, which is the original chic-fil-a of Atlanta .. 'cept that it's a sit-down restaurant and actually serves hamburgers. How novel! Visit Eddie's Attic, which I've been told is the best concert venue ever, especially for indie folk musicians. This will be my first time there. Do all sorts of other crazy and fun stuff and see all sorts of crazy and fun people. Yay!

Saturday or Sunday after this weekend -- drive back home. Maybe get to go to church here? Go back to school. And there's something about me that's not terribly saddened by the fact that this is a temporary break and I'll be going back. There's the little voice that wants to say "drat.. school".. but for the most part, I'm really enjoying this semester and am all about coming back after break.

This is a good feeling.

You all have a wonderful time while I'm gone. ;) I may get on and post a little bit.. especially the character sketch and whatnot. But other than that..

God bless ya'll!
