gwaaarrrrrgh.
DAMMIT. my LJ account will expire on the 12, unless I can cough up the money to renew it. argh. I so can't handle another expense right now. :(
reason number 34,729 why I love my house: from our deck, which overlooks puget sound and vashon island, you can see fireworks shoot off from all over the place. tonight my mom and I watched the huge fireworks displays in tacoma and on vashon go off at the same time. it was astounding. we also saw people lighting them off down on thbe beach, on the hill right in front of the house, and over by the ferry dock and the mountains, and then there were also other smaller displays from peoples' homes. so at given times, you could see fireworks going off in a bunch of places all at once. it was really cool, but the noise got really old after awhile, especially since I had a headache tonight.
not much to report on my end. I started my online classes, both of which require 2 chapters of reading apiece each week, 4 chapters total, and they're all long as hell. so I do about 150 pages of reading, give or take, each week for these classes. egad. and for my sociology course, I have to read this book called "rogue state: a guide to the world's only super power" that's about american politics. UGGGGGHHHH. my least favorite subject.
I'm addicted to too many shows on tv. the real world austin, the andy milonaukis show, and strip search all occupy my tv-watching plate right now. it's exhausting keeping up with them, but I can't draw myself away.
the other night I watched the copy of "shaun of the dead" that I bought off of ebay. good movie... it still manages to scare me at some parts.
I still haven't seen either "madagascar" or "howl's moving castle," and I feel like a horrible animation major because of it.
I still have no real ideas for my thesis or my 3d film. I think I'm procrastinating on it. I need to have a time where I make myself sit down and brainstorm some ideas. I'm having a lot of moments, though, where I pause and think to myself that in a year I'll be on my own and done with college, and that scares me. it's exciting and scary to think of where I might end up after LMU.
I also think that when I graduate I'm really going to miss almost all aspects of being in college-- not paying for food, having my only pressing thing to do be school work, using my onecard for food and keys and laundry money and everything else, having my friends within walking distance, being able to go sit on the bluff and be alone whenever I want to... it's going to be bizarre.
why am I still awake? I need to go to bed.
