I chose UCSD. My neighbor and some of my friends are giving me shit for it, but I am kind of apathetic at this point. It's enough for me to have made it into an Ivy League, I'll be successful even if I end up at a community college. They haven't received my FAFSA yet, and that's because I'm retarded and chose UofSD rather than UCSD as a listing. Anyway, it's clear now and they'll get my info. I'm not getting any money obviously, other than my Regents, but they still need info for me to progress. They're one of the later UCs in terms of starting the school year. Maybe that should make me happy, but I'm really just anxious to get everything over with.
I got the print editions of Gunnerkrigg Court: Orientation, and The Runaways. I wouldn't have bought them without the discounts, but that was before I knew what they looked like. The hardcover editions look very legit and durable. Gunnerkrigg is the size of a typical novel, thought a bit more square like. As a result the comic is really scaled down. However I like the portability and it's doesn't lose much except a few cut off bubbles. It's only the first 14 chapters, which I thought would last me forever but I sped through it. I look forward to the second volume, though it'll be a while :(
The Runaways is much larger, the pages are larger than the standard for individual issues. I love it because it's all of The Runaways right before it got not-so-great. I like a few of the later episodes, but they're just episodes. The first volume was a whole story with constant intensity. The rest feels like it has nothing tying it together. I miss Alex and Gert. Though Victor is a cool character, I didn't really like Xavin because it felt like s/he was just there to take the lesbian character away, I understand s/he's different now, but I didn't really get the back story. Also, I miss Adrian Alphona. I don't understand why they're reworking the old issues when the originals are beautiful.
I also have the AP Art History test tomorrow. I should go study for my 2. I've gotten really overweight, so I'm trying to make it part of my morning ritual to do some cardio before showering. Hopefully it'll come as naturally as doing my make up after two years or so.
