I have been running ragged lately so the writing has gone to the side. Instead though, I have been writing more, not a lot, but more hand written letters to the friends that I used to exchange letters with. I think that I've truly missed the feel of those snail mail letters.
I sometimes have a hard time writing them since it's been so long I've sent anyone more than a page or two letter, but it's been nice. I've decided to write more often, shorter pieces. I think it's the best option for me at this point. I can write fairly easily a two page letter in between classes or at work, but if I try to send a longer letter I end up forgetting that I started one and have to start all over again. So shorter letter, and sending them more often has been the solution.

Still moving back to California as soon as school is over.

I have a love interest, well it's stronger than simply an interest, but I'm absolutely terrified. After my last relationship with Nigel I'm simply completely untrusting of anyone or anything.
I truly believe that this person is wonderful, amazing, and will treat me well... but there is that icky little voice at the back of my head that keeps on saying that I've not had great judgement in my life and that I should be careful. So I'm simply taking things slow. I'm too passionate not to go for it, but I am making sure that I'm counting to ten so to speak before throwing myself head first into a new relationship.
Hopefully everything will go well with that, and I am actually right in feeling that this will be a good relationship as long as I do take my time.

The animals are well, Lucy is putting on her winter weight, she is eating all the time, but she's so cute I cannot blame her. The rats are very good, absolutely adorable and sweet, I can't wait for them to have more room to run around though. And the hedgehog is mad at me because I am now forcing him to stay in his cage during the night instead of having the run of the household, with the cold coming I need to know that he is safe and warm since they are pretty fragile little creatures. But he's been on a "I hate you" phase since then. I know he'll calm down slowly though, so we're working on it... food works wonders of course.

And really that's about it... A lot of school work and internship, but I'll write of those at a later date.
