Hey there IPOMers! Today I write this letter to you from a loaner computer. My computer broke down yet again. It's enough to drive a girl wild. My life has been kinda hectic lately. I've been ill, and have/am undergoing tests to get to the bottom of it all. There's some testing on IPOM I need to participate in, but I've been lax because of several class deadlines. I'm going to squeeze in some testing between essay writing and discussions. Other obligations include my personal website. I try to keep the updates flowing, try to add something new to the site everyday, no matter how small, but sometimes that doesn't always work out. I have also signed on to participate in an audio documentary for survivors of abuse, called Voices of Strength. Half the proceeds go to the RAINN hotline. That's something I'm excited about. I am enjoying feeding my brain with good books and documentaries. I have always had a heart for learning, now I am trying to make it a much more regular thing. One last thing... RIP Buck Owens. I live near Bakersfield, and everyone's gone into mourning. I wasn't the biggest fan, but Act Naturally was a cool song. Anyway, I shall leave you to my vibe list. Anna |
