I think that being at home has made me lose a lot of the faith in myself that I had gained in college. It doesn't take much to revert back to one's natural state, and all of the ground that I had gained in college seems to have disappeared. Leaving me confused and unsteady. I miss being sure of my abilities. 76 days left until I move into my own apartment far away from this place (not that I'm counting...).
My cat is determined to kill me, that I *am* sure of. Ever since I got home, I've felt absolutely terrible. I might just have a horrible summer cold, but there's a distinct possibility that I am allergic to my cat. So naturally, I became her favorite person in the whole house. She sits with me, sleeps in my bed, and follows me wherever I go. I'm actually afraid of her. She knows what she's doing, too. Silly cat. I don't know who she thinks is going to stay up all night with her if she kills me off.
There are really only two good things that came out of this weekend (Besides my younger brother turning 17... when did he get so OLD?!).
1) I got the first part of the final book in the Wheel of Time series. It's been in bookstores for a while, but I wanted to re-read the books and catch myself up on what was going on (these books are HUGE for those of you who don't know). I also finished more than half of the 836 page book that precedes A Memory Of Light Part 1: The Gathering Storm, which is Knife of Dreams. Because I have no life. And have not been able to leave my house all weekend. Which is coincidentally why I'm writing this blog. At 4:05 in the morning. Because I have no life.
2) I'm almost finished with my first-ever novel. This is a big claim to make, considering I'll probably carry on through fifty-or-so more pages, but it's getting there. All the pieces are coming together :)
I might have to split it up and make it a series. 200+ pages seems a bit much for a bubble-gum-pop novel.
Meh. We'll see where the wind takes me.
