I am pathetic
Really, I am pathetic. There is yet another "Good Fan Fiction" post on fireflyfans.net, with only five reponses so far and I am all :-( because I am not mentioned. And I know I won't be. And I don't really expect to be. But still, I am pathetically :-(. Mostly because I am horribly judgemental and going, "so-and-so? Pssh. Yeah, they write a lot but that doesn't make it good..."
Am I petty or what? And I barely even visit fff.net anymore, too.
There are two mentions so far I am glad of: browncoat_2x2 and Mal4Prez! yay!
On a completely different note, its that time of the semester. You know, when you have to plan for next semester. And I just had a crazy realization. Since I am a transfer student and transfering fraks up your gen ed credits, I always figured I would have to take an extra semester. But now, I realized that all I have left are...
29 TV credits: one more core, on concentration.
6-9 gen ed credits: can't remember if, but some stupid twist of fate I am required to take another english composition course, which I shouldn't because I was a FRAKING ENGLISH MAJOR at my former college, which was an academic college, not an art college, and therefore much, much, MUCH harder. While there I took not one, but TWO comp 2 courses, but... fraking transfering.
But, even assuming I must take english again, I intend to take two gen eds -- math and history -- at community college which means only 32 credit hours left for TV/English. And I could do that in two semesters.
What? Huh? Ah!!!
I am especially worried since I have been planning on doing a program called Semester in LA. Essentially, you have five weeks on intensive classes that take care of your concentration classes, then are, well, free to be in LA. There is an internship lab there, set up to help you find internships and entry level jobs. It really is an awesome program.
But... am I going to have to take it the semester after next semester now? And which concentration classes does it cover? And I heard that drama writing is only offered in the summer. But if its not and I had to leave, leave Chicago possibly forever in FRAKING JANUARY without my best friend who I always plan on being with all the time because... I mean, we transfered here together, I've always seen it as she and I going to LA together... JANUARY! What would I do? Where would I live next year? You can just get a lease from august to december can you? My mom is always nagging at me to live at home and save money, but I do not want to live at home, I don't, I don't, I can't, I won't. I love my family, but... no, I can barely survive weekends there. I am just freaking out. Totally freaking out.
But, it will be okay. I am going to email one of my teachers and ask if I can meet with her to ask her questions about the semester in LA program. If the "drama is only offered in the summer" thing is true, it might make my life a lot simplier. I would just have to stay here, regardless of where I go to school in spring '08. Work, maybe, get money for the move saved up. And I will talk to me academic adviser, too, and get info on that English credit and what, exactly, I have left in terms of gen eds. And I will look into community colleges and get to registering for a history and math (online, I hope, please god).
Still... I neve realized I might not need an extra semester until now. It would be good. Private art colleges are not cheap. Still... A year from now, from RIGHT NOW, I might be living thousands of miles away, in a different state with a different climate, working a lowly PA job most likely, and *gulp* alone? World, I love you, but your freak me out.
