So it's time for maybe another list:

* Against my better judgment I have decided that my vacation is going to start this weekend.

* I still need to see The Dark Knight

* My room is still a wreck and something must be done about it.

* I need to make another list at some point for all of the things I need to do/get before school starts.

* I'm kind of hoping all the spoilers I've seen for Breaking Dawn are fake.

* Reading "The Vampire Diaries" series. I am almost done with it actually. Someone told me about this, but I cannot remember who. Please tell me if it was you.

* Reading the Uglies books. Have only just started, but so much yes and awesome it's scary.

* ummmmmmmmmm.....I think something should really go here, but I have no idea what.

The second day of classes is about midway finished and so far it seems like it will be a busy, but not too stressful, semester.

I love my teacher for my Harry Potter class. It is good to see a professor being so geeky, and yet knowing he will have us write papers that I actually want to write. I haven't felt this way for quite a long time. Is that showing my inner literature geek? *shrugs*.

Anyway, aside from school with lots of reading, and quite a bit of busy work it seems, I am involved in two rps with a total of eight characters. I don't get them out near as much as I should so I am looking to fix that this semester. Raistlin is singlehandedly working on that since almost every post that comes up he wants to tag into. And of course I must now do extensive writings on my views on his relationships in the Dragonlance books. *headdesk* And really I thought he was slightly anti-social, go figure. He even has a few hates and likes already. One of them slightly worries me, but we won't get into that right now. I also want to throw him into secret/Halloween plot, but I don't know yet what I would do exactly so I'm working on that.

Other than worrying about financial aid(what else is new?), and trying to figure out how to get my new, desperately needed, computer not much is going on. Getting back into the grove of school, and trying to catch up on video games is taking a lot of my energy this week. Hopefully by the weekend I will feel up to doing more.

I just checked, and wow has it been a long time since I've updated, and that sadly was mostly to vent. I suppose it feels weird sometimes to update when not much has changed.

However, I can't really use that as a an excuse this time. There have been a lot changes in my life recently. The biggest, as most everyone knows who has looked at the most recent posts of mine, is that I moved at the end of January. Even with all of the craziness still going on as the house is being worked on I must say I am very happy. It is near school so it usually on takes me five or ten minutes to get here each morning, which means more sleep (this makes for a very happy Marissa). There have been some problems, and minor stresses, but hopefully they are all passed now, or if they continue remain as minor as possible.

My cat, Kyra, is still lost. I don't know what to do since it isn't really feasible for me to go back to my old place and try to look for her. Maybe that will happen eventually, but I don't see it happening anytime soon so I continue to worry. Luckily we managed to hang on to the psycho one, known most of the time as Phantom or Psycho Kitty.

Still working on replacing my iPod, since it would cost more to fix the one I have then to just get a new one. As it gets warmer I get more impatient because I would like to have one so I could go walking more. I also plan to upgrade my computer's memory and ram and get an external hard drive this summer. I love my computer, but it is long past time for an upgrade, seriously.

I've actually been working a bit more with icons lately. I need to go through and work some of the tutorials that I have, and maybe actually seeing about upgrading my photoshop at some point. One of my bosses at work has offered to put it on one of the computers there and work with me on it.

I'm still working on FF12 and Suikoden 5, but they go slowly since school is taking up quite a bit of time recently. Especially this one class that if I didn't absolute need would be dropped so fast it's not even funny. I have a Yu Yu Hakusho video game and well, let's just say as much as I love the series I think that whoever made the game should probably be punished in some horrible, very creative, way because while of course since it is a fighting game there must be button mashing the particular style of button mashing is annoying and makes no sense and seems to require at times extra fingers...perhaps this is just me.

I am still rping, but because of school and a few other things that have sort up happened recently I've not done very much with my pups at all. Hopefully this will change, especially when summer gets here.

I can't wait for summer, mostly for the fact I'll more money than for the VERY warm weather. Also, I probably won't be taking any classes so that will be a bit of a relief. I hope to be able to go to Otakon, but unless I start doing something soon I'm not sure how I will work it out. I still haven't heard from a few places where I sent my stories some months back so I suppose in May it will be time to do the rounds again.

I haven't really thought about the last Harry book yet because it really hadn't hit me until recently how soon it was going to be here. Naturally, like most everyone I have ideas, though they are mostly questions actually that I think she should answer. Of course, I am not holding my breath because I fully accept that maybe I am over-analyzing and I may be the only person who wants to know the answers to certain things(well okay not really but it is possible). If the money situation in April allows I will probably pre-order and get that out of the way then its wait for the movie. Also, there is an animated Dragonlance movie coming out in fall that I'm excited about.

Now that I've rambled (and boy have I rambled) I guess I will take my leave of this post. Hopefully I will actually start updating more, at least this is the plan. Also, I would like to actually have more of my writing here. I still need to work on my homepage as well.
