Happy Halloween

Today is Halloween, it is my favorite holiday and of course I am spending it studying. Taking on a 15 hr work load for classes, add in the fact that it's expected to put in 2 hours of study time per credit hour, there's another 30 for a grand total of 45 expected hours of school work. That's a full time job there, plus I work about 20 hours a week at Hobby Lobby and try to squeeze in time for my second job which is very much come when you can (which is hardly ever, I will admit). Needless to say, I am getting burnt out, but I have to keep pushing onward.

Not that I'm trying to complain, I am very lucky to have supportive parents who are helping me go to school instead of being pushed into working a full-time minimum wage job. And I have been able to find time to do festive Halloween stuff like my pumpkin above, my Batgirl costume, and Halloween hair bows.

Happy Halloween! I'm gonna try and finish my studying so maybe I can watch a spooky movie tonight.

Happy Fall!

It's officially fall! It's time for apple cider and pumpkin flavored things, it's time for hoodies and hats, and it's time for sitting out by the fire making s'mores.

Today I finished with my required speech stuff early and decided to make Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispies.

I had a lot of fun making them and the taste testers will get to try them tonight at the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire game. And I worked a little bit on my Twi'lek hat. Right now it's this:

But eventually I'll get it finished. I'm using lavender and a dark gray "I Love this Yarn!" from Hobby Lobby (hello employee discount). Eventually it will be finished and I'll have something like my Twi'lek in my Star Wars RPG: Dia Kairn:

I've also transferred my Star Wars EotE stuff from the folder that was provided to a binder. I prefer binders. So far I just have her complete character sheet, picture of her and of her gala dress because this happened: Tapani Noble Gala. Dia sat down with the house that Cid, her employer was a part of and talked to them about what it would take to get knighted. 10,000 credits and some favors. Lots of saving up to do. A knighted scholar would be awesome. Only 9,000 more to go.
