I'm kicking myself for not doing twelve credit hours last semester right now though it couldn't really be helped due to the incompetency of those admissions people but still. I needed at least one twelve hour semester to joinng Phi Theta Kappa, that academic honor society. I'm going to try and join the school's honors program in the meantime which shouldn't be too hard since I'm already enrolled in one honor class and I meet some of the requirements already. I've actually surprised myself, I thought I'd be kind of slackerish like I'd been for the past couple of years but I ended up reverting back to my studious old self despite all that time spent hanging around in the fandom, reading fanfics and all that good stuff this past semester. But I shouldn't speak too soon, this semester hasn't started yet and it's going to be harder.
Yesterday, we went to campus so my mom could get all her information in since she'll be teaching there this semester, and then we went to find where are classes are at. That's tradition actually, at the beginning of each new semester we would go with my mom to campus and look for her classes and hang around when there's hardly anyone there. And now she's teaching in these classrooms instead of being just a student and I'm finally a student, it all went by incredibly fast. I kind of grew up around the colleges so I was always excited to go to college since I was a kid and here we are today ^^
Didn't get any overly high-priced books though, still can't afford it. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my dumb math book soon. I wanted to sell my other one back but it has water damage so I'm not sure if they'll take it. I have to wait until the end of the semester anyway. I don't really care if I only get five bucks for the thing, I don't want it, it's just taking up space.
Bhangra fever's going on this weekend at some university theater. I really want to go but we might be moving out earlier than expected if my dad gets his truck fixed down here. It seems like I'm always missing the fun cultural stuff. Haven't been to international festival yet, one year they did China, I was so disappointed we couldn't go though I don't remember why. And there was an Asian film festival in Austin last November. I feel like I'm really missing out on things, this year though, bhangra fever aside, I've vowed to change that all. I should definitely get out more.
It's not wrong to be a little disappointed by lack of reviews is it. I've been hard at work on Nature's Family, and I just posted ch.5 which I really loved but it only recieved two reviews. I've never said anything like I need such&such number of reviews or anything like that, and overall the story's doing fairly well, it's just that everything really came together on this chapter so well. I just thought readers might be rather responsive to this chapter. FFnet can be a pretty scary place but it's the only one I know of that has such a large archive of Inu fanfics. I love my S/M pairing but it's hard to find even decently written stories in that section as it's not nearly as big as the other main pairing which I don't even read. Majority of them are highschool fics with one of the characters as a "goth" and the other as "prep", and I've pretty much refused to read a high school fic like that or hs fics for that matter. There's more room for lots of different kinds of AU stories in the fandom, I think, but it's always the same old thing and usually done poorly at that. There are some real gems there but they're kind of in the minority compared to all the barely readable fics. Okay, I think I'm done with my ranting about that fandom. I'ma quit complaining and finish up or try to anyway, my moviequote fic for the portion of the hp fandom that I trust. Thank the universe that a place like CM at least exists. It's times like these that I especially appreciate my favoritest site for being so superb.
