scraps.
So it is not tomorrow, and there is not inauguration post.
Ehe. Sorry. Am still waiting for the pictures to be developed, but the main points:
a) It was cold.
b) It was awesome.
Am moving back to apartment tomorrow. For a variety of reasons, I really don't feel ready for this semester at all -- the Financial Aid screwup last semester threw me off-track, and apparently I'm registered as a part-time student now, which I've since corrected but I need to fill out more paperwork and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother to sign up for a meal plan this semester, even. Also still don't know what I'm doing about certain classes; I really want to go for the Anthropology minor and I think I need to take Methods of Anthropological Research for that, but I'd be course overloading during a semester where I'm a) cast and b) looking for a job.
And I need that job. If I don't get a job this semester, I can't go to ACen. My refund check's coming back late as it is, so Katsucon's going to get interesting. I might have to dip into my savings, though I hope that doesn't become the case. Also I've barely glanced at my Latin this semester, and Hetalia and tournament hijacked me away from working on Ardent so I need to resume that again posthaste, and I'm trailing so far behind on obligations that it isn't even funny.
(I think I'm taking a break from request-based fic and ficlets, though. I just don't write well to people's specifications anymore, and I get unreasonably upset and stressed and unhappy when I try to. Need to stop treating fandom like a job, really, because it isn't, and scheduling myself to do things doesn't work and makes me feel terrible when I can't reach the goals I set for myself.)
I'm hoping to have fic up by tonight or tomorrow, though, and I think that will improve my mood a lot. Ultimately, so will being back in school, because I do very poorly with unstructured free time. I work best and get the most done when I'm doing too much at once. It may not be the most healthy way to go about things, but I'm used to it by now. (I might try to do that 15 pairings meme floating around, if I can think of fifteen pairings. I fail so hard at forming OTPs, seriously.)
In less whingy news, Suzaku is never allowed to drink Stargaritas again. Long story.
Also in less whingy news:
all_he_ever
A joint project between Linden, Mith, and myself. (pinstripesuit is our Minister of Propaganda.) In 1923, the Anglo-Japanese alliance was not dissolved. In 1956, a member of the Communist-Progressive Party won the American Presidential Election. These are the stories and artistic developments that created such a world.
...so how have you all been? Is our new President completely awesome or what?
