Once more unto the breach dear friends...

It's been a long time since I have posted. Life is as it has been, crazy.

School is going well class wise. I am pulling up the averages for Methods and Statistics, which has been a lot of work. Where things are not going well is in getting into the program I wanted. That has not gone well.

I think I agree with Cindy's idea that if I take classes in the Spring and reapply that I can increase my odds, because I will have the pre-req classes already done and I wont have to stress about that. Also if I have to retake the GRE that can give me time to prepare and go for it. The trick lies in getting the VA to go with the plan, which would involve me actually taking classes in the subject while seeing if I can get into the program. I would also apply for other programs in the area, as that might turn out to be what works. So it goes.

Health wise, I am healthier right now, and in a bit better shape. I need to get into better shape and I am working on it. The swimming all the time hasn't worked out as I got thrown off when I was really sick for two weeks and I have been to frazzled to go back, what with the Interview for the program and the fact that I had to put Kerridwen to sleep. So October has been a fairly crappy month for me overall.

Weight wise... not good. I am trying to take a new approach, of ignoring the weight and focusing on exercise and trying to eat better. The eating better is the tough part because I need to figure out what works for weight loss and the fact that I like to eat tasty food. So that struggle continues.

Faith wise I feel conflicted. I am unsure where to turn or go as I feel this big hollow inside and I have been feeling it for a while. It is like I have lost my faith and belief in most things but not exactly. I am trying to figure this out as it really is impacting things with me as I feel like something is missing and I am disconnected from the world. Not a good place to be.

The Tegan story is near the end and it is making me a bit crazy as this part Underhill is really tough to write. I need to finish the bit with the Queen, write the confrontation, riddle contest and then the reunion. I also like the idea of introducing the bad guys at the end when the Seer warns Erish that the person she saw in her vision has arrived. That can hopefully drive things forward. I want to finish the write and the edit over November, as a odd sort of Nano. Works for me.
