So its down to the wire. My first final paper was due today - my last one, strangely enough in the same class, is due on the 19th. Between now and then I have to write a paper, take 5 online quizes, give a presentation, and take five exams - not to mention finishing my grad school aplications.
Given all of this, I may be absent for some time from this blog and posting to it, in the next few weeks.

So I dreamed quite a bit last night. Very clear, vivid dreams, of spending time with the people I usually am around on Mondays and Wens. Sitting at a table, in the quad, which was no longer the quad, but a wooden porch in a forest in early autuem. We are drinking, mostly absinthe, but also sake, gin and vermooth, in various mixtures. A one of the people gets hassled by a female cop, in a nice sort of way. Later, we are all hastled by a male cop, who takes our sake, and goes somewhere inside (even though there is no inside anywhere to go to). We bitch about it for awhile, and then the dream shifts
I'm at home, still with the same people, having to sneak them into my house through a window, that evening. The night spent talking, watching movies, etc. Then in the morning having to keep them hidden from my parents, until we can get out the window again. Images of pouring grenadine into a bottle, before I get into my car to go to campus.

Then I wake, with my cat wedged between me and my body pillow, purring loudly. She's such a sweety.
O, care, feathers
spread wide wings of white
dream in flight
a thousand butterfly wings
a snowstorm of scales
a myriad of reflections
prismatic facits
and dance the flakes
of fairy wings
eldrich glow of daylight
this is the contortion
of realities into
the knots of space time


Today's poetry. Enjoy.
So. Nearly everyone has gone to sleep for the night. I should soon as well. Strange how it is. I finished a paper and a presentation over the weekend. I have another paper to write (the one for the presentation) by Wens. About 6 quizes to do online for Finance, by Friday. Then finals time. Its that time of year.
Amid all of this, I have to finish my Grad school applications, and mail them out by the end of the semester, to get them to the departments by Jan 1st. Yeah. On a good note, my third take of the GRE went far better than either of the others. 1380. Wow. Quite happy with myself.
I was at Barnes and Noble today, for a group meeting, and I bought myself two manga, to read, and inspire me. The first one, Demon Diary, was sort of good, but the one I'm reading now, Mars, is just damned good. Two outsiders, in high school, and all the things that happen around them. Its a beautiful story, and the art is wonderful. Anyone up for some good manga, its by Fuyumi Soryo, and its quite well written.
So thats it, for tonight. Dream well, folks.
