Blue Roses

I have no more classes! Yay! Okay, sure, now I have to deal with finals, but no more classes. <.g> That's pretty neat. And it was a great class to end on, too..EdPsych. He had teachers come in who were really cool, and answered our questions and stuff. And he ended it by toasting us and saying he knew we'd all be great at what we ended up doing, which was really sweet of him. I loved that class.

So I found an nsync story yesterday...quite probably the only nonslash one I've ever read that wasn't written by a friend. <.g> It was super sweet...this woman drops off a 2 year old, Kyle, with Chris and says it's JC's son. Which it is. So it's about JC learning to be a parent (man, he sucked at first. I mean, REALLY sucked) and falling in love with Jessica, who's their wardrobe girl and takes care of Kyle all the time. So of course it's totally cliched and probably VERY Mary Sue-d (Lance's fiancee is named Amy. The author of the story is named Amy), but it's actually, for the most part, well-written. And I'm thinking Amy either did a hell of a lot of research, or spends time with 2 year olds. LOL She's off on a few speech things, making him a little too advanced, but she's mostly dead-on. Yes, this is what I've been reduced to. <.g> As I read Kyle's lines, I started analyzing his phonological processes, mentally counting his MLU, critiquing it when he said sounds he just could not produce at that age, appluading when she got them right, etc. My major is invading my brain. LOL But hey, it's practice for Tuesday's exam, I guess. <.g> "Why, yes, Joan, I did study! I read a 30 part story for SEVEN HOURS over two days and analyzed a 2 year old character's speech." <.groan>

Reading some summaries of Florida shows...at one of the soundchecks, they were asked who they most wanted to meet and JC said Stephen Hawking. I swear, I practically swooned. LOL Dude, he's like the most famous AAC-user. And sure, that's probably not why JC wants to meet him, but he wants to meet an AAC-user! <.g> As the sister of a kid who uses AAC and as one who plans to focus on AAC in speech therapy, I think that says a lot about him and just plain makes me excited. LOL Okay, yeah, I'm easy. Your point? <.g>

Okay, so all I have to do today is work on my 376 paper. I'm feeling highly unmotivated, but maybe I'll be moreso after I finally eat breakfast and my tummy stops complaining. <.g> Just a few pages left, nearing the end! Whooo! I'll be thrilled to have it done with.
