In lieu of doing what I'm supposed to be doing...

I'm sitting here writing on my blog because I really don't want to write about African-American identity and how it is defined by the dominant white population...
Well, that and I actually have something to say.

I guess this means that I've had nothing to say for a while. I think it's been like a year since I last posted something on here (at least it feels that way). Honestly, I think I did have plenty of things to say. I was just too lazy to post them. :)

So since we last talked lots of things have happened and changes have occurred. I find bullet points to be helpful at times like these...

• Fall semester ended
• Christmas came and went
• New Year! Happy 2013 everyone. Hope it's been good so far. :)
• Passion 2013 in January
• My dad lost his job
• My dad got a new job a week later
• My dad just left that job and got another new job
• This means that we have to move from our current location to another location about 20 miles away
• I was promoted to Team Leader at CFA back in September
• My cousin is married and is expecting a baby boy in June
• My sister bought a new car two days ago and it works like a dream
• I am working as a private tutor for a 4th grader
• I will potentially be working as a tutor at my campus next semester
• I just got a job editing a book for publication
• Our church got a new youth pastor
• I am officially on youth staff (since January)
• I am very very close to having an English degree
• I still have a lot to do to obtain an Education degree
• Pollen is everywhere at the moment
• Spring semester is over in 3 weeks
• I am currently writing an essay for a class entitled "Studies in the American Novel" (hence the blog posting...)

So there we go. My life for the past few months in a bullet point list. I just got a sudden urge to finish writing my essay, so I'm off to conquer the last page and a half. I will return soon, I promise. :)

P.S. Oh! I forgot about one more change that's occurred in the past few months. My laptop decided to malfunction and now every time I push the "A" key this happens: a;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
The semicolons will go on forever and ever amen if I don't press another key. If I didn't ba;ckspa;ce a;ll of the semicolons every time I wrote a; sentence; this is wha;t it would look like. Delightful. Oh yeah, and the semicolon key no longer works.  (see? I pressed it and nothing appeared in that spa;ce. GA:;;H.)
