Writing Updates: Potato - Solar
I’m having one of those mornings where the only thing that has gone right is that I woke up. I’m focusing on that. I’m feeling kind of groggy and sick physically. Emotionally, I’m feel more like everything is spinning out of control. And I can’t fathom why I’m overreacting so early in the morning. But it’s not a Monday…ugh, maybe it’s because I haven’t been exercising. I bet I’d feel better if I did. After computer time, I’ll do it.
Moving on! I’m really enjoying Empress. Unfortunately reading makes me really relaxed so I end up feeling sleepy in the afternoons. I try to play games or something to wake my mind up but it’s not helping. Perhaps I should play a less repetitious game than Harvest Moon! Haha. But I’m enjoying both immensely and it feels nice to do all these things without the stress of class. At least now I can see why Jarrod so adamantly sticks to reading only textbooks while he’s in class. It’s way too easy to get distracted by a good book when you allow your focus elsewhere.
I really had to focus on that science class. Hopefully the next ones won’t be too bad. I’m looking forward to the writing class - Seminar in Writing Fiction and Nonfiction! The great thing about college is that I can take the classes I want. While that’s true - more or less - in high school, I find the challenge better now. I was kind of lazy in high school too. Well, my senior year I was fairly lazy. That’s more accurate. Other than Math, the Bio Lab, and the Microsoft Office class (three icky classes) - everything is my choice! Booya! I can take any classes for electives, and all my core requirements are spanned from art, art history, music, history, English, writing, and philosophy. I’m so happy about that! It’s like taking a bunch of electives to me. The way I have it figured I’ll graduate in December 2011. Cherri graduates in April and mom graduates the May or August after her. It just feels nice to be getting somewhere. The way I have my classes planned out, I’ll be taking a writing class pretty much every term until I graduate. It feels nice to reflect on these good things!
I love listening to Billy Idol’s “Don’t Need a Gun”. It always reminds me of Ohtsu though! And because of that, I had to go out and find the Ohtsu Icon I made that said that. XD Ah, I really need to update Black Ring! Alright! My goal this weekend is to summarize the three Manga volumes I have and make some wallpapers and icons. I’m determined to do this. Maybe I’ll make some PSP wallpapers. I didn’t know we had that section. Mikari is sneaky! I like the Sotetsu one. And second Shito and Chika one. They all look great though. Maybe make a new layout, at least, and then I can send it to Mikari? And she can make it pretty. XD; Okay so that’s my goal this weekend (and inevitably before break ends on the 7th).
There was another storm last night, but it wasn’t as bad as the day before. The thunder, at least, wasn’t. I think the lightning was worse. At least there was more rolling electricity and threatens of black outs. Cherri thought she wouldn’t be able to attend class for a little bit. But she went so I assume the weather evened itself out. Not sure if it rained yesterday. I fell asleep during it because I had been too relaxed.
Now I’m working on writing Chapter five for Solar! Whoo. Poor Tama has to be a dad. It’s hard for him. Mark’s scheming something good and Rae’s always the bad guy. Then I got sidetracked.
I was looking through some shops and I found some cute dresses that I might actually wear! Other than that I found some other cute clothes. I need new clothes. Yay for “school shopping”. As that’s technically what it is. So yay for me. I’ll be able to get some new clothes. It’s a shame I totally wear out all my clothes. But it happens. Plus shopping online from this particular place helps out my cousin’s school. So we both win.
I don’t have a lot of plans for the day. I’m going to get through two chapters of Empress, do some exercise, and maybe walk to the bank with Cherri. Well, I suppose walking to the bank would count as exercise. But she’s not awake for me to ask if she wants to do that. So, I’ll shower, eat, read, and play games - today’s Friday. I wonder what she’s making for dinner. I’ll need to get the Zombie Loan Volumes off the shelf too. I need to clean my floor also…hrm, looks like I have some things to do. Yay me. I’m going to have a good day!
