bits of awesome=)
haven't updated in a while... not much going on, really. However..
I started school (again) last Monday=)=) I'm taking 2-D Design (drawing/art), a lame journaling "health" class (where you just exercise on your own and journal about it), and math109. I was scared as fuck about math, but it actually looks pretty easy compared to the last two math classes I've taken and the teacher is really nice. I shall give my opinion of art and health later.. *cough*
My plan is just to finish my AA at Clark and then either A) transfer to art school and get my bachelors in fine art, then get into a university to get my masters in social work and do something along the lines of art therapy or B) stay at Clark another year or two and do their art therapy program and then transfer to another school in portland that they recommended to get a masters specifically in art therapy. At this point I'm leaning toward the first option, because I would really like to dedicate a couple years to just making/studying art. But who knows, for now I'm just happy to be back in school and on the right path once again=)
the last time I was in Seattle, for New Years (that trip didn't go well at all. not worth talking about the many ways it was fucked now, but it sucked. hard.), the starter in my Audi went out (contributing what it could to the suckage occurring). Well, today, through many chance happenings that kinda sucked for the bf and left his car permanently defunct, my Audi is getting fixed! My Mom called around to a bunch of places in January when my starter first died and the lowest price she was quoted for parts and labor was like $650, just to fix the starter. Today Sears told me they'll fix the starter, including parts and labor; fix the torn CV boot by replacing the whole axle including labor; put a new battery in it; do a front end alignment; and balance the tires for no more than $680-sweet ass!
I am *very* excited to have my car back! I can't wait to be able to go where ever I want in *my* car. Being able to listen to CDs again sure doesn't hurt. It'll be ready on Tuesday before I have to go to school that day=)=) None of this would be possible if the wonderful and thoughtful bf wasn't putting the repairs on his Sears card and letting me get him back when my fin aid and loans come through (*crosses fingers for that to happen soon*).
in gheyness, my friend infected my computer with a virus while we were chatting through Windows Live Messenger=( It looked to me like he typed "hey, is this you in this picture?" (even though he'd already stood up and wasn't even at his computer) and there was a URL with part of my email addy in it. So I clicked it and it turned out to be a .exe file and totally fucked my machine, ggrr! It'll pretty much stay powered on if you're just having it sit there, but as soon as I try to run any program it crashes, usually the program will crash first then the computer very shortly after=( I'm using bf's laptop until I figure out wtf to do about it..
time to go curl up on the couch.. I feel really weird..
