Post-NaNo and other stuff

I have discovered something incredible - to me, at least. Compared to writing a novel, Spanish and Algebra 2 aren't very hard. My mom is convinced that I have time to do Trigonometry before graduation, but I really, really don't want to.

Now that NaNo is over I'm kind of puttering around, trying to remember what I used to do every day. In a few days I'll start editing - blegh - but there's also the fun of novel swaps, which I love! When else would you get to read a bunch of novels about everything from fantasy quests to the apocalypse?

Now the doctor is saying that my nephew won't be born until the twenty-first! This guy cannot make up his mind and it's driving me insane. How am I supposed to wait that long? It's practically impossible. I'm going to go crazy waiting for little EJ. I've been waiting and waiting and - ugh. I'm stopping right now. I think I've been ranting about my nephew for forever. Even his mother probably wants me to stop :) I have ton of school and editing to do in the meantime.

How was everybody's Thanksgiving? I missed seeing my grandparents :( but I did get to spend the whole day with my sisters.

This Weekend...

I'm going to stay with my sister Ne-Ce for a few days this weekend. So I'll get to be there when my nephew is born! YAY!

I haven't been on here like all month. Oops. I can only partly blame NaNo because I haven't been doing as much writing as I'd like to have. The grand total for my word count, at the moment anyway, is 132,000 words. That's the most I've ever written in one month ever. I don't know if I'm going to make it to my 150k goal :( I did get to print out my winners certificate today and I have it hanging on the wall behind my desk. I have to turn around and look at it every now and then.

I'm about to start college applications! Eeeks! Please pray for me, because I'm sure I'll make a mess of them. I really want to go to Hollins Uni or Murray State but we shall see what God does.
