Congratulations, Aimée! We should take you out in SF to buy new notebooks, pencils, erasers, etc.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Congrats, Aimee! Where are you going?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Congratulations, Aimee. That's wonderful news.
Everything does happen at once, doesn't it? I think BC's particular policy is just to say: "Okay, here's Adversity. I know it looks really big, and perhaps we ordered the extra-large versions in comparison to the rest of the universities in this country, but here it is. If you can get through it, there will be a diploma waiting at the end like a carrot on a stick. Go."
I just want my carrot.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Suzi, I will most defintely be feeling your pain - for lo! I am also going to the University of Phoenix. B.S. in Human Services and then I might work on a Master's in Social Work. I'm going to aim for working in schools.

Are you doing the ground program or online?

Online. Which, kinda feels like cheating right now and that I'm "buying" a degree, until it was pointed out to me that I'll be working even harder than I would have (or, in fact, did) in a "real" school because I'm also working full time and raising a child and that EVERYONE who has a degree, bought it to some extent. So, I looked at the coursework and liked it a lot and....here I go!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Not necessarily sheer, but...lip gloss, so not as not-sheer as lipstick, y'know? I want to be able to put it on with no mirror, and not be TOO paranoid about drawing outside the lines, if that makes sense. Looking online at Sephora, Clinique looks like they might have some nice colors, but so hard to tell, really...
If they still make it, try their Almost Lipstick. I think ita swears by the Black Honey.
The Terra Tints tinted lip balm in Garnet (see your local Whole Foods for details) is what I've been using. It's a little more sheer than the other Terra Tints shades, and gives a nice Your Lips But Better look.
Oh, and the Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Rhubarb may also suit you. Erinaceous turned me on to it, and it's nice.

Aimee - I have felt that way about a few classes. Just marking time to get my grade. But most of my classes have required WORK. Hard work. My current Econ class is killing my brain.
If you have any questions, let me know. I might even be able to save you on some books. But ya know what, we can talk about it TONIGHT!
