FINALS AHHHHHHH

Marry Me - Emilie Autumn

THE ONLY REASON I AM BLOGGING RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE GEORGE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE.

Anyway, these next two weeks are finals for me so things are going to be pretty hectic. I'm working on my final project for AVT 180 right now. I also still need to finish my game project for the other game class. I've been working on it for like 3 days straight. And this is without waiting to the last minute to work on it. Total Hours Spent: Too many.

ANYWAY I HAVE WORK TO DO SO I'LL UPDATE WHEN I HAVE A BREAK INBETWEEN FINALS AAAAHHHHH

Also props to George and company for their trollin' expedition last night. It was actually pretty amazing.

Are WE Being Trolled now?!

So as you all know this started off as a 30 day project just for the hell of it, mostly started because I was lazy in writing my novel. That novel has increased by about 50% since I started it, but it ended up nowhere near 50,000 words. I however have written it in screenplay form, totaling about 24 pages and still going strong. Speaking of novels, my friend Heather gave me the novel that her and her friend wrote. So far it's rather dry, but they start off introducing a TON of characters, so I'm gonna give it a chance. From what I read from the responses, things get crazy and most people hate her (in a good way) at the end.

So it's been a rather crazy two days. For some reason I always end up thinking that Saturday is Sunday, which is rather upsetting. But let me start with Thursday. I can't recall if I updated then (as I am lazy as hell and not going to tab over, but I'm going to assume that I updated something) but it was a rather intense day. We ended up staying up till 5am watching The Big Bang Theory, which was rather great. I then tried to get work done on Friday with not too much success. I then spent the night running around, going from Liz's room to see her "christmas tree" then heading up to Heather's room to watch Ouran Host Club (a crazy girly anime that is incredibly entertaining), but instead ended up chatting till 5am. It was rather great.

Saturday and Sunday were just as entertaining. I can't recall what happened, but it was fun.

So this is the last week of classes. All my finals are due within the next two weeks and then I FINALLY get to go home for Christmas, which will then be spent working and seeing friends and family as much as possible. I'm excited once again to go home, but still a lot of work to get through for all my classes.

The one class I'm super excited about actually doing the work for is my Storyboard class. Like I have said a thousand times before, I really enjoy writing that screenplay and, in general, doing work for that class. I'm going to be upset when next year I won't have it, but hopefully I will have the spare time to finish it. I've always enjoyed writing, just most of my time for writing was doing essays and research papers and the like. I'd much rather sit down and do creative pieces. Much more fun that way.

Anyway, I still have Christmas Presents to buy and I have no idea what to get for these last few people. I'll think of something soon though, probably scroll through Amazon for a while and then find something creative and cool.

That's all for now I think. I'm getting to the point where I can't think straight. That and I am also having trouble typing ha ha. I need to also set up the design for my art piece due monday. Sort of know what I want to do, but I'm not sure how it will look ha ha. I think I'll do that tomorrow after I get my package.

I Will Cut You

Kill the Lights - Britney Spears

So today has been a very awkward day. I'd say "stressful" but it really hasn't, but I'll get to that in a bit.

I woke up this morning to my roommates alarms going off. Thinking it was only around 9 or so I just kind of dozed off in bed for a while. I soon realized that my alarm wasn't going off and was perplexed. Was the alot earlier than I thought? I grab my phone to see it is 10:00. I then click my iPod, which is my alarm to find out it was dead. I promptly plug it in and get ready for class. Desperately wanting to blast music this morning, but couldn't as my roommates were asleep when I left, I took what charge I got on my iPod and started walking to class. I got through one and a half songs before it died. I then said to myself "Wow. Now if only I get hit by a car my day is complete."

Karma decided to be a little bastard and a car almost backed into me. I almost shouted "HOLY SHIT KARMA I WAS JUST KIDDING," as I dodged the car. Luckily he saw me and didn't actually hit me. Anyone following my twitter will have seen those tweets this morning (no, I was not sending this and not looking as I walked. They were sent before I almost got hit and then a little while after). I then found out I had printed 40 pages of my story for nothing but got a 93 on the paper I wrote for that class, and another 100 for having written 24 pages for my screenplay today. Go me!

I then came back to shower, get ready, grab my things and then head over to a two hour lecture for psych credits. We only had to stay for about one and the nice lady let us leave early, but get the full two credits. I was so excited. I then came back here to chat with my financial aid adviser because apparently I have no aid for Fall Semester, and the payments are due by next week. Which is a huge problem since it's a large sum. They guy wasn't very helpful, so I'm going to go in tomorrow to see if I can talk to my adviser in person because not only is there none for Fall, but the aid they DO have down is significantly less than last year. Considering my parents have three kids in college and my tuition going up 6% this year, that is a MAJOR problem.

Things will hopefully turn around soon.

With all this, you'd think I'd be stressing at least a little, right? Wrong. I don't know why, but it hasn't bothered me. I have all these sticky notes with the work I need to do and anything else that needs to be done. It's a lot of notes and totaling a decent amount of things to do. The due dates are coming and things are going to be tough. Do I let it get to me? Nope. I've actually been looking at it as a challenge. Last night I wrote around 15 pages for my screenplay. It actually didn't take very long either. I just got so into writing and I couldn't stop. All these other projects coming up? Cake. I'm not even worried about my financial aid at the moment, because if shit isn't fixed by next week I am raising all hell in the financial aid office.

Anyway, as you all know it is Thursday and I have my late class today. I'm going to go get ready for it and adventuring out in the cold again. It's windy as hell and so annoying. Best of luck to everyone and their finals in the coming weeks.
