by **Arwenelf** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 2:18 pm

Not good--drive safely no matter when you go home.

by **Mithnen** » Thu Jan 01, 2009 11:58 pm

Hey all, it's been quite a while since I've been by! RL has been a wench lately :wink:

Just checking in, seeing as how I haven't even been on TORC for like a year & a half.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Hey mithy!! IT's good to see you? How have you been?

Boy, its been since last year since I have talked to you all!

How was your new year's eve?

by **oldtoby** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 7:14 pm

Well, I got fairly lucky, only had to deal with rotten weather once I got into Michigan

Seems like I always have a good trip until I cross the state line

by **Arwenelf** » Sat Jan 03, 2009 8:18 am

Good Ol' Michigan

We've actually had two sunny days in a row!! YAY!

Sil- Hows the essay writing coming?

by **Mithnen** » Sat Jan 03, 2009 9:59 pm

Hey again, Arwen!

The only day I actually really enjoy snow is Christmas -- other than that, I'd be set with sunny & 70 everyday

Heya Mithy! Welcome back to TORC, and to the thread! :hug:

I enjoy snow as long as I don't have to be out in it. It's nice to look at when you're inside next to a fire with some tea and a laptop..

Essays are done-ish... Indiana's needs some work, Cincinnati's needs a once-over before I print it, and the other two are turned in already. Yayyy grad school.

My NYE was boring; I went to bed at 10:30, I think.

by **Arwenelf** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 7:14 pm

Yay for essays being done!!! Woot woot!

I started fencing again last night....it reminded me how awful I am at it, and it was pretty frustrating. But, it was fun

My fore arm is killing me now (boy, am I out of shape!).

by **Arwenelf** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 12:41 pm

How's everyone?

by **Arwenelf** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:10 am

How's this semester going?

Sil- First semester without classes

How is the job searching going?

by **oldtoby** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 4:50 pm

You still after that job in NC Nen?

by **Mithnen** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 5:28 pm

Hey, guys!
My semester's been ok so far. It's a lot of work to stay on top of, not as easy to nonsense as last semester, but I think I've been doing a decent job so far

by **Arwenelf** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 8:12 pm

Toby- Yup, I am. I haven't heard anything from them yet, but the application deadline isn't until the 16th. I sure hope I get it...not likely though. I feel like I'm never going to find a job.

Mithy- Glad to hear your doing ok. Hang in there! What classes are you taking?

I'm off to Auburn Hills tommorrow for Acquire the Fire (a big youth conferance). I hope all goes well.

by **GwenElf** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 8:27 am

I am a glutton for punishment and am still sitting in on a 9am class three days a week.

Yay me!

This week I have a pseudo-interview with one of my Greek professors to practice for the Real Live Very Scary Grad School Interviews which are coming up in a few weeks. :shock:

Meep!

by **Arwenelf** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 6:56 pm

Sil- Didn't you have a mock interview last week? I'm sure you'lll do wonderfully, you have a very likeable personallity.

by **GwenElf** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:40 am

Yeh, if only it were based on personality...

I had a mock-interview last week and another one in just over an hour. Gives me an excuse to dress up, at least.

I keep wearing skirts because I don't own a single pair of dress pants, and all the ones I've tried on at the store just don't fit properly. Grar.

So, where's all that snow they keep promising us!? We've got about an inch. :roll:

by **oldtoby** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 9:08 pm

its down here I think :cry:

by **Arwenelf** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:51 am

No snow here

Though, it's cold out!!

Sil- Ooh, dressing up

I agree, dress pants are hard to find.

Off to work, then two days off

by **Arwenelf** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:55 pm

How about this nice weather we're having?

by **GwenElf** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:15 am

Spam, where?! *shifty eyes

Sil- Was it this weekend that you were looking at the other school?

by **Arwenelf** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 6:47 pm

I think summer is almost here!! Thunderstorms, warmer weather, the trees are budding, the frogs are out chirping away...its wonderful!

How is everyone?

by **Mithnen** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 8:08 am

Ah, I love this weather! It was getting a bit crazy for a while there. I'm not sure where it hit, but over here (Kalamazoo) we had a snow storm about 2 weeks ago. And actually, it snowed last Tuesday too. Mah-velous. But I've been in love with Michigan since Friday. A bit windy but at least it's been warm

So in other news, Mith's all done with school for now. I finished my last final on Wednesday and moved out of my dorm on Friday. I'm taking a poli. sci. course this summer though, but at least I have a week of relative freedom before that starts!

How is everyone?

by **Arwenelf** » Sat May 02, 2009 7:53 am

You live in Kalamazoo!!! How come I didn't know that?!?!! I live in Richland, which is 15 minutes from K-zoo (well, the Gull Road part of K-zoo anyways). Maybe I did know that, just didn't realize it...I've only been in the area for 3 weeks now.

Good ol' summer classes. Good luck with the poli sci class--what is your major?

by **Mithnen** » Thu May 14, 2009 3:46 pm

I know where Richland is! I have a friend who lives there! Yeah, I'm actually currently living with the parentals in Battle Creek for the summer, but I still work & go to class in K-zoo

The class is going decently, actually. It's called Women in Politics in Developing Countries, so I actually find it kind of interesting (always a plus!) And it kind of ties in my major, which is Anthropology (double plus!)
