Okay. So I haven't posted since February. My life has been kind of batshit insane since then, but thankfully it's finally calmed down. This has definitely been the worst couple months I've ever had, but everything's mostly come out okay.
Tsukino-Con went excellent and was a ton of fun! Unfortunately, due to the craziness of reading break, and sleeping through the following Monday, I ended up behind in my classes, something from which I never really caught up. For the next month I stumbled through a haze of labs, midterms, and assignments while somehow managing to make it to social events and help coordinate a group Haruhi cosplay for Sakura-Con. Mostly I would sleep very minimally while working frantically to catch up on things, until I passed out from exhaustion every couple days. This meant I had now had missed something new that would be added to the ever-lengthening list, and had to repeat the whole process over again.
Eventually however, the group made it to Seattle for Sakura-Con and that was amazing!
Soon, after that unfortunately, exams started.
So we have another month of very little sanity and even less sleep while somehow not dying. Thankfully the last week of April ended with a wonderful no-exams-coma, and the successful completion of all chemistry courses required for my degree - forever. This means no more chemistry again. Ever. Coupled with my previous calculus victory, I am now past all of the courses I hate and have only one year left - and they are all devil-free courses.
Needless to say I had a joyful little bonfire with all of my chemistry notes plus the textbook.
May brought with it moving into a new place with my boyfriend, which is the first time I've ever really lived with someone long term. So that's super exciting, and it's going well so far, even if our housewarming/Look at This Fucking Hipster party was a bit too noisy for the neighbours...
Since then it's been pretty busy.
Krystyn, Jill and I helped Amy pick out her grad dress which was a ton of fun. The Steam punk Expo went off beautifully and I bought a new corset. Daphne had her beautiful baby at the beginning of June! We got my brother and his girlfriend all dolled up and off to their prom as well which was great. And to top it off there was a kick-ass girl's night and fun Sailor Moon sleepover as well.
And this week I had the overwhelming bonus of getting Lasik, which has been a complete success so far! I can see and it's amazing.
Now I had promised myself a trip to Mexico if I survived my exams, but things got tied up and it became unfeaseable, until my friend found an amazing last minute deal that leaves next week!
So in summary: despite the horrors of the last semester, summer has finally arrived, and things are looking much better.
