Crazy, Hectic
That's how I would describe this week. Not that its a bad thing though! It's midterm time and I have been working diligently to get caught up. But I still find time to enjoy myself so I don't get overwhelmed. I have also been cleaning out my closet, so to speak...removing all the garbage from my life that hinders my healing process. Unhealthy relationships and unnecessary drama are swiftly discarded. I am also keeping my eyes open for new and positive potentials for happiness and have managed to find a few :) I am a curious cat afterall and love exploring new things.
The article I wrote, "She Dreams in Digital" is being featured in an inworld (SL) magazine and I am pretty excited about it. I was also recently offered a job as a managing editor for this magazine, which would give me another venue for my writing and relationship advice. Most of my writings would pertain to love and dating via the online venue, which I find quite intriguing. I am writing my senior thesis on SL and this very topic, so it will be killing two birds with one stone. I am considering it carefully, weighing it against my already hectic schedule to determine if its something I will have time to do. How exciting!
I was a foreign language minor in my early days of college and have some Spanish, Japanese, and sign language under my belt. Now, I still have a long ways to go before I am fluent in any one of these but I have managed to add another to my list-French. It is a beautiful and exciting language full of romance and is suprisingly much like English. So it is actually one of the easiest one's I have attempted so far. My goals are to be fluent in Spanish and French, while being able to get by with some Japanese. I plan to do a great deal of traveling in my life and these are the places that I want to go, so it's only wise to learn the spoken language of the land. I figure that once I have learned enough to get me by, I can reward myself with a nice vacation to practice my new found knowledge :) It is definitely something to look forward to! ~LaKira

Congratulations on the article and editing position! Definately well deserved :).
Thankyou very much! I am pretty excited about it and have taken the job. It's a bit more work, but I love it. So it all works out for me in the end!
I knew you would get a blog site sooner or later. I know we like to maintain our secret blogger identities , so I'll just say "Hi M, welcome to Portland!" My greeting is shamefully late, I'll admit. Anyway, hope to hear more about what you're up to. Come over to The Alley and visit. You'll soon recognize me, and be the only Blogger that knows who I am and what I look like. BTW your new look is STUNNING! Wow!
