I'm Baaaaaaaack!
So I'm back in town.
Got back a week ago today, actually.
Washington, D.C., was a fun experience.
We had an awesome time at the museums, and my dad and I were like children in a candy store when the two of us visited the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture, which is the newest addition to the Smithsonian Museums. I just opened on the first of July.
The Capital Steps show that I mentioned in my last post was absolutely hilarious; it was political comedy and music rip-offs in one. I almost fell out of my seat laughing.
And if you ever want an awesome buffet, go visit Fogo de Chao. It's a Brazilian place that's all you can eat, and the atmosphere is awesome. They give you a little card that's red on one side, and green on the other; if the card is face up to green, waiters come to you with a variety of meats, and if it's red, they leave you alone. The salad bar is divine, with a wide assortment of cheeses, vegetables, and salads. And be sure to have a slice of the triple-layer mousse cake and this Brazilian soda made from sugar cane. So good! /tummy grumbles/
But all good things come to an end, and so we're back in hot, icky Bako. ><
Moving day is coming ever closer, and tomorrow I start packing all the stuff I wanna take with me. Too bad I can't just take my room and shove it into my sister's apartment. >>
I'm gonna miss my room!
And I'm scared shitless about starting college. I'm afraid I'm totally going to screw up. The thing is, I didn't grow up with good study habits, and so I'm not sure how I'm going to handle all of this. I'm not a planner person, and writing everything down bugs me.
Maybe I should invest in a small voice recorder to make notes to myself...? Sounds like a better idea than a planner.
Luckily, my schedule is planned out completely now, and I just have to print the list of classes that I've signed myself up for. Unfortunately, I'm waitlisted for a 2-unit seminar that I want to take, but it will all hopefully work itself out.
I'm glad to say that I've finally been a bit more artistically inclined recently. It feels good to be drawing again.
Plus I'm writing too! It's a new fanfiction, the first chapter of which will be crossposted here and at writingblog. It's a risky piece for me, as I've never written anything like it, but I'm trying to move forward with my skills and my mental level.
It's dark, and very different from the normal, fluffy, fairly happy things I write.
I have one friend on Facebook; he's a guy I went to school with. =) He was nice enough to me, so yay.
Is anyone else here on Facebook? I think mizuumi_twitt has mentioned it a few times in her LJ posts, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure how to use the damn thing though... Eh, I'll figure it out eventually, I suppose.
In case anyone wants to add me, here's the link:

I wish I could figure out how to add people from different networks, and make new friends on there. Especially sinice it restricts the profiles you can actually view to the ones that are in your networks. ><
Confusing.
Hmm...
I'm trying to figure out how to put pictures in here without having to go through the web.
Oh well, I'll just post them with the chapter later.
And I have nothing left to say for the time being. XD
