Much to my personal pleasure, there was no crazy bus driver this morning and I was, get ready for this: semi-on time. Blasphemy.
Actually, school went pretty well other than forgetting some things here and there, and having to finish a crapload of work tonight and after school. Also, toting large amounts of books isn't fun, either. Wtf. :/ I'm very interested in hiring somebody with a decent amount of upper body strength to tote around my textbooks for me. You'll elligble for my horrible cooking, but you receive no kind of healthcare benefits.
To tell the truth, I'm veering on kind of tired right now, but I'm in the middle of another homework-break, so I'm kind of reluctant to go back to doing homework on my bed. I know I'm going to fall asleep. Damn you, Ikea. Damn you and your overly-comfortable matresses and lovely down comforters. <3
I went to Franky's after I stayed after to take an exam and finish that lab. Wow, I've never realized how horrible at following directions I can be. I messed up the formatting of my English test because I'm a tart. Thank-goodness Mrs. Heyer wasn't that picky about it, and she let me rewrite everything out. The lab took all of ten minutes. horrah. After waiting a nice while for our overly slow bus, we baked brownies (paper thin ones, anyway. It was more like a cake) and continued our flavoured-FF7 game. It's a horrible in-joke at this point. Don't ask.
I find it really amusing that my mother feels the urge to tell me I'm stressed at inappropiate moments. A la this morning, wherein I was trying to get my contacts in for the first time in a while..
"You're quieter than normal.. are you feeling okay?"
"..I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You have a bandage on your finger. Did you break out* again?"
"...shi."
(I dropped the contact. ohnoes. After about ten minutes of looking, I found it and ran out the door to catch the bus. *And for anybody that didn't know, apparently, I am wicked stressed, from a medical perspective. If I get OVERLY upset or nervous, I break out in little hive-esk things. I bandage them up because I hate looking at them, and they just get in the way when I write. So there. You learn something new everyday? I can't remember the technical name of that it is, though, for the life of me.)
Is it another "just me" thing, or do songs seem to speed up or slow down after a while? It's a strange mental thing that I find happens on occasion. (IE: The Pizzicato Five's "Nonstop to Tokyo" seems a lot faster than it normally does as it's playing right now.) Ditto with time, because sometimes five minutes will seem like for~ev~er and other times it'll go by without a hitch. Strange, no?
I'm hoping to try and make submissions for the four or five graphic communities I'm a part of. OMGWTF. Does anybody know of a site with a good / helpful / informative site with a tutorial on vector art? As horrible as it seems, I've had a problem finding one that's somewhat easy to follow. (PS or Flash is fine; I have a demo of the latter that I have yet to install.)
I'm getting the over-tired crazies. C'est fini.
