Back from hibernation
Yeesh, haven't been keeping up with lj for all of winter. You'll see why in a moment.
Anyway...
My grades from the fall semester turned out pretty well. I surprisingly got an A in my US History class. =) My History of Opera and Japanese 2 class were both Bs, but it makes sense. It was the first time I've had a 3.0 GPA in a long time.
Sadly, I ended up having some trouble with my winter classes. Which is a shame cause I liked both teachers a lot. My bishounen friend warned me that it was a bad idea to take those kind of classes for summer, let alone together, and sadly he was right. There was an essay due every week in English, and with a chunk of my time taken up by the evening Psychology class, plus feeling like I couldn't flesh out my ideas for the essay fast enough, I just couldn't get them done. The psychology class was going along easily enough but in the end I ended up dropping out of that too. I'm thinking that I'll try to retake the English during a regular semester. For the Psych class, I could either do it as a TV course (that would still use the same book) or try again during an interim.
Spring classes have been going well thus far. I like all of my teachers. Piano is my hardest class, I feel. I can't help feeling like my fingers are too thick and weak in the pinkies. But I'm trying to work at it. I need to practice more than I have been, but I've been falling prey to my usual weakness.
That's right, boys.
There's a gent in Second Life I've grown close to. No, he's not the friend who visited in January. We met at the beginning of December, but became close in January. If you happened to see the recent set of SL pictures I posted on Facebook, then you can tell who I'm talking about. In some ways, he seems like a dream that stepped out of my mind and took shape. But things are complicated. While committed to me in SL, he's unsure of whether to be committed in real life as well, even though he has feelings for me. He lives on the opposite coast and, given his own aspirations, may not be leaving for several years. I don't know how if things will work out, but I'm trying not to let it get to me too much.
I need to focus on school! I need to bring something to the table! x.x
P.S.
Been listening to the Love Never Dies soundtrack. Some songs I love, some have grown on me. This show can't match the original but I'd still be curious to see it.
