Update on life in general

Not much exciting is happening in my world. Still working the two jobs. Still managing to keep up to date in my two grad-school courses. It helps that although one is very difficult and demanding, the other is ridiculously easy, in terms of workload and expectations. So it balances out. I am in a nice lull period right now, with nothing due in one class till March 24, and nothing due in the other till March 31, due to spring break and such.

I spend most of my "free time" reading or getting caught up on sleep, but I have gotten out of the apt a little bit here and there. I went to see "Avatar" recently on the IMAX screen. It was something else. The special effects were amazing, of course, and I really liked the storyline. It reminded me a lot of "Star Wars." I hadn't expected to like it, but I did. The only thing that bothered me was that there were, like, no minorities in the movie, among the "humans." Everyone I remember from the movie was white. You would think that in the future, there would be more diverse employment for minorities. Oh well, no movie is perfect, I suppose.

I've been struggling to keep my head above water with all my credit card bills (and auto loan, rent, auto insurance, etc.). A number of my payments have been late recently, because I have had to wait for a paycheck (or "help from Mom," bless her soul) in order to make payments, and sometimes I have had to make only partial payments. Oh well, my credit sucks anyway, so if it gets a bit worse, no biggie, I suppose.

Not much else to tell.... will write again whenever I have time and anything worth writing about!
