rivendellrose | Let's try this again...

So... yeah. I really did try to update when I got home from May Crown (now being hailed (literally!) as Wealdmeare Snow Crown!).... but Livejournal ate my whole, gigantic entry. So I got mad at them and refused to retry until now.

Anyway, apparently it was 28 degrees out there in Farragut State Park, and I know for a fact that it snowed and hailed. But I made a pretty copper arm-band, and huddled over a fire, and Tiff let me use her soft shawl and sleep in a warm sleeping bag under her down comforter... so I was happy, aside from the times I was bitching about how cold my hands were (granted, that was quite often). Lots of fun, really.

Right now, my world is crashing in on me as I realize how close deadlines are looming. Spring Fling, two term papers, the end of the quarter... it's scary stuff. I'm just hoping to not screw anything up too royally.

But things are cheerful. Derek and I have agreed that we're actually dating, and he's comiing to visit again this weekend. I'm still working on actually saying "boyfriend" when I'm talking about him--it sounds very odd, to me; I've not said that word in a long time. Oh! And I got a 3.9 on my Greek and Roman Religions midterm! *does a little dance of joy*

Also, I spent somewhere around $30 at the bookstore tuesday afternoon. They had the third Keeper's Chronicles book, and The People's Guide to Tolkien!!! How on earth could I have resisted? More Quickbeam. More Austin and Claire. Whee.
