I think I need to learn spanish...

Even the trashcan in my first class has a sign on it in both English and Spanish.. This signifies that it would behoove me to learn some Spanish, past the pitiful amount I took in highschool.
Anyway; as for me, I'm running about trying to get re-signed up for my classes. As I am doing so, I keep running across beautiful architectural motifs that make me long for my camera. Ergo, I may soon post of of these delightful images. The aged and gleaming wood finishing, the fossils set into the sides of the buildings... A sublime sense of awe and tradition pervade the entire campus, draped across it like spanish moss on the old oaks along the pathways.
More later!

The Very Beginning

This is my very first post on this blog. *big, steadying breath*
Up until last year, I had kept a blog for almost a decade; all the way through highschool and up into college. Things became slightly hectic (okay.. maybe frantic is a better word), and I ended up not recording a single day or project until today. So let's try this again, shall we?
My name is Ciara. I grew up in the foothills of the Appalachians and moved to San Francisco to go to school. Unfortunately, I don't do well in cold weather... so last year my husband and I (and our dog) moved to Austin, Tx. I was called to ministry after years of making rude faces at the mention of organized religion, and now am grinding my way through college toward grad-school. My husband (also known as the BFF) and I live in an apartment on the edge of the woods with our dog, our new cat, a fish, some astoundingly hearty house-plants, and the other random member of our family- Mori.
Things have been a bit rough lately; my father passed away last fall. I'm currently trying to get my collective uh.. stuff... in order, and am crafting my way toward stability. I'm teaching myself to knit and crochet, to make jewelry, to sew, to bake, to sculpt... all manner of new things. This will be where those things get revealed to the world, and where I post quotes, poems, and generally rant and sing about the goings-on in my little world.
Sunshine and Blessings,
