WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's one of the biggest stories of the century, I'm thinking...
So anyway, it's been a while since I've had a real update, so I'll indulge now. It was really rainy and cold yesterday, and I started out the morning wearing shorts. NOT my best decision, but sometimes, you just have to go with the flow.
This last programming assignment is kicking my ass (but only slightly) - I won't bore you yet again of the details, but I cannot stand computer science (and while I still feel like it is, I've been informed that it isn't really my fault :D). Hopefully, in semesters to come, I will work my way out of this funk.
But! In other news! I'm starting to talk to my advisor about getting a minor in graphic/studio design! Yay! As such, I've decided that I need to start building a portfolio for my graphic work, and so I created root // SLASH. It's just a shell right now, but I think it'll come together nicely.
THe one drawback is that, to take any studio design course, I first have to take Art History...but who cares!? That's like a bonus for me - I love art history. Basically, I just want to be able to keep that book for some future coffee table. *wink*
What else...we're going to start production of the summer issue of CEM, of which I will basically have full control (even though I don't officially become editor-in-chief until next semester, both Toni and Evan decided that it would be beneficial for me to learn the rops of putting an issue together now - I'll probably hit some stumbling blocks, but learning it all myself and doing a good job...I can't imagine there'd be any greater reward). I'm excited - in fact, thesimpster and I have a deal in the works concerning the issue in which I officially become editor-in-chief. Ought to be fun!
Working for CEM has made me realize that if I couldn't make the cut in Hollywood graphic design, I'd love to work at a magazine. I know I'd have to grow a lot in my talents, but...that would be such a dream job. I pray that somehow, someday, I can get there.
On a COMPLETELY different note, I'm taking a trip to Mexico this summer! Right before we boys and girls move into our houses, AJ, myself, Trevor, Allison, Chris and Kirsten are going to Puerta Vallarta for a week (sadly, Bret and Mia will be in Minnesota visiting her family during this time, so they can't go *sniffle*). It ought to be fun - AJ's family has a timeshare that they're letting him use, and so we're staying in this 5-star resort, basically for nothing (all we have to pay for is plane tickets and food). That's incredible - believe it or not, it will be the first time I've taken a vacation-like trip without my family (yes yes, I know). It ought to be really fun.
And...I'm hoping...praying...that a certain metachronism will get to come out and visit me right before school starts in the fall...we'll find some way to make it all work, love. I promise you. <3
:D
What else...?
It's sunny and nice outside, and I feel that I'm going to have a severe aversion to doing homework. Oh well! What can you do!? :D
Talk to you all soon.

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man;
and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what
you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also,
so that you will be able to endure it.
