December Already?

I can't believe it's already December!

I've finished the second course in my master's program (I didn't do so hot in it, and am considering applying to a brick-and-mortar grad school; online isn't the right mode for me, I don't think). I'm taking a break from the program till the end of January, when my next class is, to decide whether or not to continue with this program or to go on to find another one.

I finally got photoshop!! Or rather, my boyfriend got it for me for my birthday. CS5. I'm slowly but steadily learning how to use it, and will definitely post what I've done so far, as well as what I continue to work on. I know my first pieces are choppy and very simple, but I like them just the same.

God is amazing. I still haven't found a job, but I have come across a few places that seem like they might be promising for me to apply to.

I know it's winter, the weather is proving such; I know it's the Christmas season, society and the radio is proving such; it just all feels surreal to me. I never quite feel like I'm actually a part of anything, even if I am. I feel like an observer, off on the sidelines, watching life pass by. Which is weird, because I'm very involved with my life.
On the plus side, I've gotten to see several friends recently, which has been fun. We went to the midnight premiere of the Harry Potter movie, The Deathly Hallows, part 1. Next summer needs to hurry and get here so I can see part 2.

I no longer sell Avon, my nana almost died a few weeks ago (she's now in rehab, working on getting her bones stronger), and I'm still unemployed, but God is good and my godfather (thank you to my family who used to be Catholic when I was a baby) is retired now and looking to move to SC as soon as I find a nice apartment for him.  I'm looking forward to that.

I'm tired at the moment, so that's all for now.

Peace!
