Quick Updates

My grandmother is continuing to improve and has been moved to a smaller hospital. If she continues to improve they will consider moving her into a nursing facility or back to assisted living (depending on the level of improvement).

I just submitted my final draft of my asexuality research paper. It topped out at 35 pages (20 page was the minimum) and more than 10,000 words. I apparently had a whole lot to say on the topic. :) I will do a short presentation on it today during our final Sexual Orientation and the Law class. Quite a few people have inquired about reading the final paper. I am going to look at either submitting it for publication with a journal or self-publishing it. I will let folks now what comes of either decision.

I have submitted my 2nd draft of my other research paper, which is an examination of the predictive coding software used within the e-discovery process (how it works, the benefits of using it, ethical considerations, etc). That paper was also a 20 page minimum and has grown to 30+ pages. So I've been a writing fiend this semester. Final draft will be due the last day of finals.

I have one last project to do for my digital drafting course, which is half done. Yay! Classes end this week, and finals start next week. The one nice thing about having most of my work be due during the semester this time is that it means I only have one final.

My health has been mostly okay, though I've had a bit of trouble with brain fog and fatigue. Apparently my thyroid was out of whack and I needed to increase my thyroid medication. I am definitely feeling a bit numb right now (so much change coming up, so little time). So if I seem a bit off, or uncommunicative I apologize. Lots of love to everyone!

So happy to hear that your grandmother is improving!

And: your asexuality paper sounds awesome, I'm sure it'll be a hit. Do you reckon you'll be posting any excerpts at any point?
