Lincoln Adventure Went Well!
Feb. 24th, 2014 11:28 pmDespite a possibly- ominous beginning when the bus I was taking up to Kennedy Plaza got a flat tire. . .fortunately it was the work of moments to switch to a fresh bus, and I arrived there only a couple of minutes late. And since there was about twenty minutes between buses built in. . .
Caught the 54 up to the Lincoln campus without any trouble, then started wandering around, familiarizing myself with the place and finding out where I needed to go. Took my placement test -- which turned out to be a grade-school-level scantron thing -- took a typing test -- which I've already gotten a certificate for when it comes to fast typing -- and registered. So yeah, I've got that going on starting next Monday. It may be grueling, but I can only hope it helps. And I managed to get in a little computer time before doing the bus swap home -- got a bit of editing done on the next chapter of "Forgetting You." Yay for that.
Sad other news: Harold Ramis, the man you probably know best as Egon Spengler, died today. I found out while trying to catch up on tumblr after so long off it. I came across a photoset of him as Egon, grinned because hey, favorite Ghostbuster -- and then saw "RIP" at the bottom. Talk about a punch to the gut. :( Only 69 too, jeez. . . Rest in Peace, Mr. Ramis.
Happy other news: I am full of dragon happiness in DragonVale. My Gold hatched this afternoon -- he came with the name Drachma, which is the unit of currency they used in Ancient Greece -- and a little help from Kairos hatched both my Light (who came with the name Scales -- I changed it to Lumen, which I'm pretty sure Gigs used for a dragon too? O.o) and my Victory (Theseus -- wasn't about to change that). I'll put up pictures tomorrow. I also did some breeding experiments -- Borogoves and Monty yielded nothing but a Glacier and a Mountain, but Fluffy and Geo are giving me the Winter I want! Now if only I could get a Forest out of my Plant/Earth combos instead of all these Trees. . .
Anyway, I have stuff to answer on tumblr. Night all!
