’tis the season for lots of change.

I finished my final paper for my masters on Sunday. While I hate it with a passion–it isn’t my best work–the instructor seemed pretty happy with it in the draft a week before. I have one last short paragraph to write and I should finally be done with college. I even paid my tuition last week, so I could actually graduate.

Looking forward to starting new projects soon. I decided to hold off on the programming for a little bit and just work on novels for the rest of the year. Yeah, those plans will last. But, I’m looking forward to just… writing.

And a little web design since I’m trying to make a little site for a friend. It isn’t perfect, but I’m liking how it turns out so far. Haven’t gotten much feedback on it, to be honest, so I’m going to just assume it is awesome and let people quietly snigger behind my back.

Yesterday, I finally got back to the .NET user group meeting that my co-worker runs. Got a chance to see some pretty little libraries out there and won book in the raffle. Always fun.

On Thursday, I’m going to try out the local writer’s group and see if it would fit my personality. Once a month, but if I want to be a good writer, I need to take myself a bit more seriously.

Finally, Fluffy got her Christmas/holiday gift last week. It was down to a year subscription of People magazine or me going to the gym with her twice a week for a few months. I bet you can guess which one she got? Yeah, her subscription star… never mind. Tonight is session four at the gym. It isn’t a habit and I feel so pathetic since I can’t keep up, but I’m persistent so I’ll get it sooner or later. It works out since my co-workers pretty much stopped walking with me at lunch.

I won’t get under 136 kg pounds by the end of the year like I hoped. I should be within 5 kg pounds of it though. According to Weight Watchers last night, I’m at 140 kg, so I’m within that goal. Going to try making that different as small as possible in the next few weeks.
