J.J. Abrams did a great job.
My mom just left to go back to Houston; she was here from Saturday 'til last Wednesday. I miss her and she managed to help me find a set way for college and my wedding! We're moving the latter to Houston because we want to avoid John's family and we have no friends here. I, however, have an entire family begging me to have the wedding in a place they can go--home. So, we're planning on having it at my old middle school. I spent 9 years at that place; it is very beloved.

As for college, we went to California State University Fresno on Monday, I think. We took a tour, found out some great things, and I was sold. It was cheaper than the previous school I wanted to go to and far superior. Their library was brand new and had 4 floors. . I wanted to get lost in it right then and there but contained myself. So, the plan is to go to city college for basics then to Fresno State as they call it for my BA in English then my MFA in Creative Writing. I'll be a Bulldog... I hate bulldogs. I want to give them all inhalers and facial reconstruction.
Adverbs are a pain! I'm in a distance education program. In essence, I am both teacher and student. This can be very hard and frustrating. I can't afford a tutor; my mother has been gracious enough to pay for the program itself and I won't impose on that kindness by asking for more cash. The program does state that you can e-mail your teachers to ask questions, but they generally take days to reply and answer a question with a question (ex: what is an adverb? The reply would be something along the lines of "what kind of questions should you ask to find an adverb?"). I don't ask questions unless I am truly stumped. Answering a question with a question so I can simply refer to my textbook (which I have already scoured countless times for the answer) is pathetic. What happened to teaching? Sure, I'm in a distance program but teaching is still possible. These teachers say to either get a tutor or re-read the book or guess. Guess! Stupid high school...
Is going to be eventful! John and I are going to River Park (on the eve of New Moon's release, no less) for the first time as a vendor for their Christmas farmer's market of sorts. Arts and crafts vendors (like us) and farmers still selling produce (or donuts for some reason) are welcomed. If you live in Fresno and know someone struggling that is in this line of work, direct them to River Park on Friday night around 6pm to talk to the guy in charge.

But I'm so excited! We're going to be selling Intimate Journey: Battle Scars as well as buttons, bumper stickers, and poetry art (our main product). We want to make a nice gift affordable for Christmas for those struggling with the economy. California has been hit especially hard by its own political pomp aside from the federal farts. I just felt God calling me to do this--well, John and I (mostly John).
Tell me! I've been out of the loop for a while.

Love,
