a soldier through this

January marked a few things: A new year, a new school year, and my 22nd birthday. \0/ Year thus far has been spent doing basically the same things I do anyway. XD;

Back to school with what will hopefully be my last full-time semester until Uni, as except for math and a couple of other subjects I’ve already got what I need to transfer \0/ Goals for this semester include not sucking as much as I did last semester, oops.

Subjects -> Beginning Algebra (math deficiency whaaat), Ecology (Lecture + Lab), US History through 1750 & Critical Thinking in Literature. More classes than last semester, fewer units (…on less than last semester, hur). Good thing though being that I only have classes three days a week and I have four days off in a row >> Bad news being that including fandomy-writing I have to write roughly 35,000 words by the end of the month 8D

Fandomy stuff ->

Lots of travel planned this year. Vermont over Spring Break (March) to visit Leah, a trip to San Francisco to hang out with Roll on her way home from Japan in April (not really “travel” since SF is only two hours away, but hey! It’s Roll! And not Roll on the opposite side of country! Exciting times!) Will be doing the Artist Alley at Fanime come the end of May, as well. Actually, that few weeks will be crazy, for it is final exams, then Fanime, then coming home for maybe a day (if I come home at all and don’t just stay at K’s), then hopping over the pond to London for two weeks to play with Pez & Liz & Unni~ Tarundoru-cakes and Higa’s Adventures In Cooking! Then it’s home until August, wherein flying to Baltimore for Otakon and playing with Roll & Moffit again, as well as my Rue and a couple of my West Coast kids I play with anyway. \0/ September rounds it off nicely with back to school and Yaoicon, after which I hibernate until May. XD;

I need a job if I’m going to want to afford all of this >.>;;;;

Flee time, for things to do~

I’m… a student?! That’s right folks, starting 22 Jan, 4 years and 11 days after I got out of HS according to my proficiency cert, I will once again be a full-time student at two different schools (according to how many units I’m taking. Technically half time academic and half time art.) Math and English at Yuba college’s Clearlake Center, and drawing, painting and ceramics at Mendocino’s Lakeport Center.

Mum is taking the art classes with me, which is the main reason I decided to go back anyway. XD Had to take a placement exam for Yuba the other day, which proved what I already knew: I kick ass at English and suck at Math. In math I placed into Math 111 (Prealgebra), which is the second step up, but I’m taking Math 110 (the lowest class - Arithmetic for College Students). Which means if I want to go for my Associates, I have to take… 4 or 5 math classes. English I placed into English 1A (College Composition and Reading), which according to mum not many people place into. Which, if I were again not taking the class below it (English 51 - Preparatory Composition and Reading), I’d only have to take and pass English 1A and take no reading classes to get my degree.

Thursdays I won’t get to go home between classes because Mum is taking the English class with my teacher right before mine. XP And the fun thing about drawing and painting XD Same teacher, same class, and he also teaches oils & watercolours (I’m taking acrylics) at the same time x3

Schedule for Jan. 22-May 25:

Monday (Mendo-Lakeport)
• 10am-1pm: Drawing
• 2pm-5pm: Painting

Tuesday (Yuba-Clearlake)
• 12:30pm-1:45pm: Math 111

*shall be a busy bee D:*

GEEKING STARTS HERE.

Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core trailer (Reg. required, but it’s free). Suzumura Kenichi, Suwabe Junichi and, er. Gackt. XD;

Speaking of Final Fantasy, I am pissed off that I have to go buy a DS to play FF3 :( GOD DAMN YOU, SQUENIX. …Which speaking of Square-Enix, brings me to a conversation with a friend that works there last night. XD

Her (17:09:05): di you have a good weekend?
Me (17:09:21): um i did the same thing I did every day?
Her (17:10:07): try to take over the world?
Me (17:10:24): exactly.
Her (17:11:50): did it work yet?
Her (17:11:58): I wasn’t sure if I missed it while being asleep
Me (17:12:04): sadly no :-(
Her (17:13:30): okay, just making sure ;-)
Me (17:13:47): :-)
Her (17:15:21): < #
Her (17:15:27): I'm looking up names now
Me (17:25:22): for what?
Me (17:25:31): and :o jurrasic park is going to be on next friday x3
Her (17:25:36): work, checking to make sure the names they want in this game really are games
Her (17:25:40): ohhhhhh I wanna see
Her (17:25:48): next friday like this friday or next friday like next friday?
Me (17:25:49): ah
Her (17:25:57): ...that was unhelpful
Me (17:25:57): as in this one coming up
Her (17:26:03): ah, okay. darn
Me (17:26:04): but dude
Her (17:26:05): I'll miss it
Me (17:26:07): it's a video game
Her (17:26:10): ?
Me (17:26:15): since when do they use real names XD
Her (17:26:16): the one where you could sit inside it?
Her (17:26:30): we just want them to use names that aren't screennames of furry authors
Her (17:26:35): ...like one of the names we've got
Me (17:26:41): rofl
Me (17:26:43): what name? XD

Me (17:27:10): lmao
Her (17:27:11): and I want to click, but...at work
Me (17:27:23): YOU'RE DOING RESEARCH OK
Her (17:27:48): hahahah
Her (17:28:09): THE PORN JUST APPEARED IT WASN'T MY FAULT

Somehow it degraded to looking for Pokemon porn, which brought me to showing her the ever-wonderful comm of bad porn, weepingcock @ LJ (WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP DESTROYING MY < /A > AND PRETENDING IT DOESN’T EXIST, WORDPRESS!? STOP FUCKING WITH MY LINKS.) , in which I had to search madly through the memories for a ‘lovely’ piece of Charizard/Ash porn to show her. It was beautiful ;;

More random shit: Underdogs has been ‘updated’, Rhythmic High finally got a new layout and some new shit (cosplay piccus :D) and the silly girls that brought you lockwizmeeee now have a new fic comm, aptly named SHUT THE HELL UP GUYS, to which I posted a few Tennis drabbles I wrote while my power was out yesterday.

And uh. Yeah. DLs from the last post are now gone, but here. Have some new ones.

I need to remember to not miss House again tomorrow D: I always forget it’s on Tuesday ;0;

EDIT:

WHAT WAI. Rain at Caesar’s Palace on the 23rd and 24th ;o; Whyfore do I not have monies or a car?

If you’re American, anyway. Hope you all have a wonderful day with friends and family. I, however, will be staying home with my cup noodles whilst Mum and her 12 pound turkey go to the Spawn of Satan’s place and S&J go to J’s grandmother’s. I’d rather spend the holiday alone than go through another one with dealing SoS’s bullshit. I don’t care if she’s family, I don’t want to be around it and I have no intentions of being around it if I can help it. No clue what Dad & K are going to be up to, but will probably call Dad later to see what’s up.

Maybe I should get my ATM card back from Mum (who seems to have it more often than I do >_>) and see what’s playing at the theater if it’s not raining - it’s close enough to walk to both the theater and the bank (given the theater’s right behind my bank …), but even if I catch an early evening show I’ll have to walk home in the dark… not something I want to do — Through RA lives about 2 blocks behind the theater so I could probably get a ride from her, but I wouldn’t want to bother her family during their dinner because her sisters are up. I’d be welcome to join but eh. Not feeling particularly festive and can use the time to work on my special-deck cards for people, updating sites and catching up on Honey and Clover so Crys will stop hounding me to fangirl with her.

Internets have been acting up again, the whores. Plus the power keeps going out because we’re on some funky grid (Meaning mine and my neighbor’s power was out, the guys across the street were out, but the house behind my neighbor had power, etc…) and the line’s been ready to go for weeks (constant brownouts, etc ~_~). Pretty irritating.

Fangirly and fandom related stuff simply because 90% of my posts require it. Leah was totally awesome and gave me Tackey & Tsubasa’s new album, which exudes massive amounts of gay (go figure.) Was there really a reason for a fifth version of Venus? Either way, it’s lollertastic. I am hearting on the album XD; And hopefully I will have enough monies soon to actually like, buy it. I need to make myself a list of crap I want to get >_>”

Spent the past few weeks getting and watching Kimi wa Petto, which is fucking adorable and I want to squish it. Too fucking cute D: Half the time I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or simply stare going “What the fuck?”. Jun was freaking adorable and Sumire girl was so… I liked her. I wanted to punch the Fukushima girl through like the whole thing D: It is now being burned off because I might as well burn some crap off and actually get back some HDD space.

Said in last post I’d put up Dong Bang’s Balloon PV, so here it is + some other stuff.
