Is it cool? Really?

A site I frequent linked this from Ain't It Cool.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.
I'm one of those strange people whose a, well hard-ish core Trek Fan. I'm a Trekker, not a Trekkie thank you very much.
This isn't something I advertise at the Cons, for a number of a reasons, but I have done the movie marathons, series marathons, helped write a Trek RPG, all that stuff.

I'm also in the sub-group of TOS(1) fans, yes, I prefer TOS to TNG(2), DS9(3), VOY(4) and certainly prefer it to the canon-shafting abomination of ENT(5).

So this... thing... that J.J. Abrams is planning.
I'm not sure.
One the one hand it looks absolutely cool, since to me TOS was the best and say what you want about it being old, camp, dated, etc. It was cutting edge at the time and the spirit of the show is still relevant.
Plus, ya know, Spock(6).

So I'll wait and I'll see.

If it's good, well, it will be another renaissance of Trek fandom, which could maybe cancel out the crappiness of ENT.
If it's crap, well...
Nothing new there.

How Lovely

Yay, Mummy's coming home tomorrow!
Just in time for her to go back to school and teach.
Poor Mummy, won't even have time to get over the Jet Lag.
But at least she'll be home and I'll be seeing her for a significant amount of time and not a few weeks at a time, since this summer have been fractured when it came to us being at home together, what with all the traveling we both did.

But tomorrow she'll be home.
Which is lovely.

morin came over today to help me stop freaking out about my University schedule, which I'm glad to say is under control.
Seeing as morin studied the Lit. half of my double major (Lit. and Gender) she helped me understand what goes where, what (in her opinion) were good courses, and I could thus figure out how to arrange the courses I want.
Monday I'm going to a course consultant who should help me with tweaking my hours.

Soon I'm going to be a student.

Wow.

It's a bit overwhelming, seeing as this is the first time I really have no idea what's going to happen next. I mean for all I know I could end up hating Lit. or Gender, or GDess forbid both.

Gah! No that is too horrible to think about, so I won't be.

But really, this is the first time where no one is handing me off to my next station in life, since after Junio High, came High School, after High School immediately came the Army and I knew that after the Army I'd be off to America (since the family and I discussed this) and I knew I'd be taking these two years off so that I could live outside a structured environment and actually do what I like.
Theses past two years were nothing like I imagined they'd be, but c'est la vie, you gotta roll with the punches and all that shit.
So now I'm going back into this frame of study, for myself, what I want, in order to get a degree.

How lovely.
