Thanks, On the Cusp, for the comment- I do need to get myself updating, don't I?! Sorry about the delay . . . it's funny how when things are going right in life you tend to neglect certain pursuits. I find the same thing happens with prayer. I always pray when things are going wrong or I don't know what to do, but when everything seems right, I just forget about communicating with the Higher Being. I'm not sure what that says about me, but hey, at least I'm honest!

Yes, things have been "hot and heavy" with Feb lately. He LOVES his webcam, and I think it really is very helpful for us. Seeing someone makes such a huge difference when you talk to them- it really cuts down on the little snarls and arguments that can arise from only hearing their voice. I can see when he is joking, I can see when he is getting frustrated, and I can see his beautiful smile . . . how could I possibly ever get mad again!?

Basically, things are going well between us. I am still hesitant to tell him how I feel. He knows it, and sometimes asks me if I am holding back because I don't want to be hurt. I just say yes. I think it's good that he knows that I am still wary of him; it keeps us both on our toes. I am simply not interested in having any sort of pretense in this relationship, so if I am scared of him, he is going to know it!

In other news, I am in the middle of (count 'em!) three group projects for school right now! It is utter madness, especially since one of my groups appears to have, collectively, a grade four reading and writing level. It is honestly disgraceful. Basically what happens is that I collect the work that each of us brings in each week, take it home, and rewrite ALL of it. I make it understandable, replace made-up words with real ones, add adjectives and lots of nice description, and try to make it something that anyone with an education beyond grade seven might enjoy reading. It really is that bad.

Aside from doing four times the amount of normal work that I should be doing with that one group, however, my other projects are coming along nicely and I'm looking forward to the end of the term in a few weeks. Feb is all concerned about me starting my new classes, but I have told him that they will begin in April, and I will see them through to completion- I need to get this designation if I want my dream job! After that, the possibilities of when I may go to Foreignland will be open for discussion . . .
