My Extended To Do List
School Now
Drawing: make the lines on all my drawings thinner and less heavy; draw my toothbrush to an ernomous scale; start working on flipbook
2D: find better pictures of dolphins (help much appreciated and possibly rewarded somehow), learn to paint
3D: make a chair and an ocarina which Shawna must not know about until I give it to her or I will kill the person who tells her (worse comes to worse, I make a lute or something and she never knows >.>;)
Animation: do pencils for final project, shoot full pencil test, ink at least part of final project (aim for whole), shoot again, scan that part or less, color scans (flat or CGs depending on time), animate in Flash, call people at all times of the day and beg for help, throw some stuff around and scream, present my shit, die of sheer exhaustion
Art History: paper and at least one more exam
Writing: final essay
Fencing: get my jacket and glove ASAP, get used to wearing said jacket and glove, kick some West Chester as in my tournament, hope my dream wasn't some sort of crazy prophecy >.>;
Summer
Get a job, survive summer session, volunteer at Wizard World, go to some other cons, cosplay, get a sewing machine, make dolls, do commissions, buy some new clothes (army surplus pants, maybe?), completely finish final Animation project, work on RSoM entry, possibly be an OL, officially become an animation major, save up for laptop, do more anatomy studies, get this Mannerism kick out of my system, possibly buy foil/bag/mask?
Fall '06
Do fencing again, possibly move again, finish RSoM entry, get Manga Studio, get domain name if I haven't already, buy a bunch of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs, get uber-discounted laptop through the school, do work-study, stay focused in my work, attempt to go to more cons, keep doing dolls and commissions
And now, my good men, to bed! For tomorrow, we conquer Terra and force the dancers to take to the stairs from now on! XD
To make this mildly more interesting...
" Alexandria, you are one of those rare individuals who are perfectly "balanced" in both your hemispheric tendencies and your sensory learning preferences. However, there is both good news and bad news.
A problem with hemispheric balance is that you will tend to feel more conflict than someone who has a clearly established dominance. At times the conflict will be between what you feel and what you think but will also involve how you attack problems and how you perceive information. Details which will seem important to the right hemis- phere will be discounted by the left and vice versa, which can present a hindrance to learning efficiently.
In the same vein, you may have a problem with organization. You might organize your time and/or space only to feel the need to reorganize five to ten weeks later.
On the positive side, you bring resources to problem-solving that others may not have. You can perceive the "big picture" and the essential details simultaneously and maintain the cognitive perspective required. You possess sufficient verbal skills to translate your intuition into a form which can be understood by others while still being able to access ideas and concepts which do not lend themselves to language.
Your balanced nature might lead you to second-guess yourself in artistic endeavors, losing some of the fluidity, spontaneity and creativity that otherwise would be yours.
With your balanced sensory styles, you process data alternately, at times visually and other times auditorially. This usage of separate memories may cause you to require more time to integrate information or re-access it. When presented with situations which force purely visual or purely auditory learning, increased anxiety is likely and your learning efficiency will decrease.
Your greatest benefit is that you can succeed in multiple fields due to the great plasticity and flexibility you possess."

Edit Again Because I'm Lazy:
You Know You're From Philadelphia When...
You punctuate every sentence with, "You know" at least twice.
You want olive oil, not mayonnaise on your "hoagie".
You hate the Redskins
You hate Dallas.
You realize that your favorite dessert is "wooder ice".
You find yourself using "yo" and "youse guys" when talking long-distance to family members.
You know how to spell Schuylkill.
You pronounce ACME "ACK-A-ME".
You think that $2,500 a year for insurance on a 1977 Toyota Corolla is a bargain.
You find youself at a nice restaurant thinking "I wonder if they have cheese steaks?"
You sleep soundly through gunfire and ambulance sirens.
You visit New York and are impressed by how clean it is.
You can't eat french fries without Cheese Whiz.
You call sprinkles on top of your ice cream cone "jimmies".
You don't think Wawa sounds funny.
You snub a cheese steak that isn't on an Amoroso roll.
Your parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles all live on the same block.
You know who Jim O'Brien is and how he died.
You can't imagine lunch without a Tastycake.
You're still not sure about Jerry Penacolli.
A vacation at the Jersey shore (pronounced "Down the shoore") is better than going to an island (there's more stuff to do, plus you know everybody.)
You know where to find the Rocky statue.
You know that only tourists go to Geno's, Pat's and Jim's for authentic cheese steaks.
You only go if you're drunk and it's 3:00 a.m.
You can make a cheese steak and you've never been taught
You've never been to the Liberty Bell, or the only time you were there was on a class trip in third grade.
You know what and where "Boathouse Row" is
You will buy a pretzel from anyone, anywhere without even thinking of where it was - or where his hands have been.
You can't imagine a breakfast without scrapple.
You don't know what a sub is, but you think they are trying to describe an imitation HOAGIE.
You aren't a bandwagon Sixers fan�you loved them when they sucked, and before they had A.I.
You go to The Gallery or South Street in the summer time just to chill.
You have the pizza place on speed dial.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Philadelphia.
