I'm Joining Your World of Updates!

Hello Everyone!

I decided that since everyone seems to be keeping each other updated through their blogs, I might as well join the blogging world as well. So, here I am. ::waves:: :-D

Spring semester started for me this past week at Seminole Community College... I am taking four courses--English 2, Medieval Humanities, Intro to Business, and Human Resources Management--and I am very glad to have something to do with my "free time" other than sleep, eat, watch tv, etc. I just finished doing about 3.5 hours worth of schoolwork, so my brain is not willing to retain any other information I may want to throw at it tonight. So, the books are closed until tomorrow.

Recently (read: over the past year or two), I have been trying to be craftier than is really natural for me... I have taken up knitting, crocheting, and sewing. I may not be particularly great at any of them, but I enjoy doing them for the most part. Plus, it gives me something else to do to fill my time. AND, it makes me feel like I have accomplished something when I finish with a project. At the moment, I am working on a patchwork soccer ball that is going to be amazing when it is done! Pictures will be posted when it is finished. The only crafty thing I have done that I have pictures to post is a mirror that started out looking like this:

And ended up looking like THIS on a wall in our house!:

I LOVE how it turned out, and I smile every time I pass it! In case you can't tell what is around it, I tore off the covers of magazine, cut them into strips, rolled them up, and glued them all around! I LOVE IT! :-D

Now, I am going to go to bed. I am tired, and I have to be at work at 745 tomorrow morning. So, I will leave you with one more picture! My roommate, Melissa, and I went to a Magic game on the 9th of this month... This picture is from that night!

Love, Nina
