Burning some incense, listening to Sparky, and thinking about what the hell I should write for my college transfer essay. Gah. I really hope I'll be able to get out of here by next year, but I should probably go speak with a transfer counselor, if only to know what credits I've taken will transfer. I've been in a surprisingly productive mood since Monday, and I really hope it will last. I think I've been inspired a lot by one of my best friends and his passion for learning. I swear to you, he is a Ravenclaw, no matter what Pottermore says.
While I'm in this mood I should probably organize my room and computer... Hmm. I hope. I've still lost all artistic inspiration-- this is the longest art block I've ever experienced, it's been like a whole fucking year. Damn. It's not like I can't draw anymore, because sometimes I do doodle but my mind doesn't have the same creative flow it used to anymore. I can't tell what is standing in my way. Perhaps a lack of passion for any one thing, currently. I think I could really use some MJ cause it always brings me out of my art block if only for a night. I've made some pretty cool shit.
In other news, I have been babysitting / dogsitting over the summer and I am going to continue into my school year. Hopefully I'll be able to make a decent amount of money, because that's exactly what I'll be needing. I can't cash my checks for the meantime though, because I've lost my debit card. Gahhhghgh
I'm really hoping to go to New Orleans in late January, and hopefully spend New Year's in NY with my friend-- she has an apartment there so I wouldn't have to worry about hotel costs. The only problem is, she might still be in Lebanon at that point, and I don't want to buy tickets before I know what the plan is, despite the fact that the longer I wait, the more expensive they will become. We'll see what happens.
Trying not to be lonely and keep myself occupied with things, and so far it seems to be working. I feel pretty focused. Lots of work to do this semester, both personally and for my classes. I think I can take it. I think I kind of need it.
Well, signing off for now!
