Experimetrix Love

So I have decided that Experimetrix extra credit is going to be my savior this semester. With any luck it will keep me from having to take my Statistics class again. I feel like my grades have taken a beating this semester.

However, on something completely non-school related, I'm going with Heather to get a tattoo on her back this week. She wants to get a dusty pink rose right on her spine. I told her that Amanda said that getting a tat. right on your spine area is painful, but that's where she wants it. In any case, I'm sure a rose tattoo will look good on her.

Midnight did the cutest thing yesterday. She jumped on the kitchen table and started stretching her claws on mom's straw placemats. She was all, "Mew Mew... Ahhh Mew" and Mom was all, "Dear God NOOOOOOO!" It was a good moment.

I am DETERMINED to continue my reading. I haven't read for enjoyment in forever. Every second of my spare time has been spent obsessing over my grades, extra credit, reading required material, and a lot more unfun stuff. I still want to finish "The Bell Jar". I've lost a little interest in "True Colours" by Karen Surtees and Nann Dunne. The writing style just isn't as good as "Madam President". I'm spoiled by Blayne Cooper and T. Novan. Now everything I read is kind of rubbish. I'm trying though. The book really isn't that bad. It combines some of my favorite things in a star-crossed romance story. There's the character that's trying to overcome impossible odds and the other one who's trying to find herself. Also, the plot includes a ranch. I don't know why, but I love reading about ranches and horse-riding.

That's kind of strange now that I think about it because I don't think I have ever been to a ranch and my only recollection of riding a horse was when I was like six. It might have been a pony. I certainly see the beauty of owning a lot of land and having a ranch though. That's probably one of the reasons why I watch "Desert Hearts" so much. I don't really relate to the characters, but there's something about the setting and plot that I find absolutely beautiful.

I want to visit and stay at a ranch some day. I should make a plan to visit the ole West in the future.
