Small Update
Lj Lj..once again I neglected you.
Happy (belated) Lunar New Year everyone :)
So what have I been doing since my last lj post? Really nerdy things in fact. I joined the online community Second Life and now I own a shop there making and selling 3D things with a kawaii theme. Here are some pics of things I have made:
In a way it's been really fun. I've finally found a creative outlet ever since being burned out from constantly taking science classes. I've always needed to draw, doodle, sketch something. When I don't, I get anxious and depressed. Silly huh? I think the hardest part was trying to balance creating things for Second Life and studying for school because literally all I wanted to do was sit and draw and sculpt in 3D external programs (nerdy) all day. My mom and dad are actually proud of this though only because I do earn some nice real life pocket change at the end of the day for just having these things out for sale (you can exchange secondlife money for real life money).
School wise I am still trying to raise my GPA higher than it already is. I guess I wasn't prepared for the small class size at community college to 600 people auditorium college shock. I've been doing much better lately though. However, the MCATS are looming nearer which means crazy study time soon. I had my first midterm in Genome this Tuesday and I felt great after finishing it which is such a seriously a feeling I've missed for awhile. Previous quarters I somehow got in a rut of being just "average" and when I looked at those people in my class who were super serious about it I felt so childish for envying them so much. In a way I felt that they "got it" and I couldn't because I refused to grow up. Growing up scares me. I am only 19 but I feel that I still want more time to stay a kid probably because sometimes I feel that I rushed school too fast that I didn't enjoy the small things of being a teenager. I guess the best thing to do now is get over it and just seize every moment I have now before I regret it.
/end emo-ness
Anyways, off to go work on my Theory workbook. Even though I have a music background my knowledge in theory suuuuuccckkkssssss.
