the very week...

      so, yeah, i don't know how you kept up with all my posts this week. so many of them. it's been a good one, actually, and not as crazy as i expected it to be. i did all right on that test, despite being nervous from the day before. i was one point away from an 'a' which i'm still kicking myself over, but at least i can recover from that. the professor graded very hard, though. "oh, you weren't reading my mind on how to answer this question even though you know exactly what it's about? no points!" ah, well. i still like the class. the only crazy thing is that i'm starting to deconstruct people's sentences as they speak. hmmm...now was that a demonstrative "that" or a complementizer "that"? yes, definitely a complementizer. the "that" in that sentence was definitely a demonstrative, though. oh, so was that one. and that one! they're all over!

     things are still up in the air as far as dad's job goes. there was a hearing on thursday to decide if there would be an appeal. the judge gave the guy a week to come up with a one million dollar bond, which they don't think he'll be able to. but who knows. please pray for the situation, preferably that he wouldn't be able to come up with that bond, but mostly for God's will. he can see the end far better than any of us.

     i'm very happy that the weekend is here. the week did go by awfully fast, though. but i haven't had six hours of sleep in one night all week. it was wonderful to sleep in this morning (9:30). this one will be a bit more involved than the last, which is good. have a few things to do. and i never did come up with anything for a story. i have one idea, but it's starting to sound really cliche (i.e. stupid). i definitely think more abstractly, so coming up with an external conflict was never my strong suit. any ideas that have an internal and external conflict? bring 'em on.

     i apologize for not being on and getting around to visit everyone. later, maybe. i'm excited, though, cause we're making waffles for breakfast. take care.
