In my African and Oceanic Art class we only have two tests (consisting of slide identification and essays) and one final exam in May.
I just received my grade for the first test.
A wonderful B.

Line Rider in the snow!
You must try Line Rider. It is so much fun. I just saw this on Magpie and Cake*.
You draw and create a sledding course for this little guy using lines so that he can take a ride across the snow. However, you do have to put some thought into your course beforehand. I kept having him attempt to go up hills where he would just keep sliding back down because he did not have enough momentum. Or I had him with too much momentum on a drop so that he launched off the hill and fell onto his face.
However, the worst thing I did, was that at the end of my courses he would usually end up falling to his (I presume) death. I would always stop the video before I got to see that happen.
It was created by Boštjan Cadež, a Slovenian university student and you might have seen other people's videos on YouTube.com where there are supposedly more than 11,000 videos already.
Here is one called "Jump the Shark".
So go ahead and give it a try, it's really cute and maybe it will take the edge off the weather for you.
*Thanks guys!

By the way...
I changed my mind and also accepted the Citibank loan.
Well, the truth is. I thought I hadn't completed all of the information they needed from me and also thought I had canceled. However, that was the Key Bank loan, not this one. So one day last week, I received an e-mail from the school informing me that a refund was coming to me. Well, I was refunded a lot MORE money than I had given them, so...
Instead of going through the trouble of getting this cleared up, that money will be earmarked to pay for my last semester in 2008. I had not secured money for that this time around. In addition, I do expect to send some of it back too.
Maybe it was also meant to be? What do you think?

Just guess what these are...
Go ahead...guess.
Yes, the return address does say IKEA!
After missing the UPS guys two days because of class I was rewarded today by the arrival of my Vika Amon/Vika Artur desk. I can not even begin to convey in writing how relieved I am to have these physically in my home after so many months of frustration.
Whew!

No wonder I'm so tired...
I just found out why I have no energy despite my new walking routine. I am anemic and in need of iron.
That explains why all of my studying done in private ends up being an impromptu nap. It seems I can only get my reading done out of my house and if I stay on campus all day. Well, with this weather that we are having here (in the 30's) I'm fine with that. So tomorrow I will only walk there and back once. Hopefully these vitamins will kick in fast.
