You know what my biggest problem with college is? Most of the kids are straight out of high school. I never really liked high school and after four years of university, it makes me feel like I'm going backwards. I know the ultimate reason for going to college is to get the hands-on experience and forming the connections I'll need to get a career, but man, I wish I didn't have to slog through questions like, "Does everyone know who Pierre Trudeau is?" and simplistic grammar assignments that should not be administered in secondary school.
There are some cool aspects of college, though. I'm learning how to put together news reports! I get to use professional cameras! Not yet, but soon!
I've been thinking more and more about my creative output (or lack thereof) and I feel like I want to do something about it. A lot of my favourite web comic artists have produced Hourlies (aka. making mini comics for each hour of the day) and I like that idea. I did them once, but never really posted them anywhere. Would anyone want to see them? I might even do some more.
Other creative stuff: thanks to my journalism program and spending SO MUCH MONEY on school supplies, I'm going to have a brand new copy of Adobe Photoshop as soon as the bookstore gets it in. I might start posting more photographs or making icons, or something, just to feel like I'm making the most of my creative abilities.
I'm going to my first wedding ever this week. There will be an open bar (OH NO) and my boyfriend is a groomsman (the groom is one of his best friends from high school). I hope it's exciting.
Uhh, what else? I'm all caught up on Psych and, despite four seasons of not being convinced of their chemistry, I might be starting to reluctantly ship Shawn and Juliet. The summer finale was SO DANG CUTE. Also, the guest actors this season! Richard Alpert from Lost (STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED SEASON 3 YOU GUYS no spoilers), Chi McBride (oh Emerson Cod), Freddie Prinze Jr. (lol grade 6 crush), Santos and Bobby from Ugly Betty (which I still haven't finished), Wayne Jarvis (guy's a pro), and CARL WEATHERS (BABY YOU GOT A STEW GOING).
I have had 4 bananas so far today. It's my fault for going grocery shopping, buying bananas, and not realizing we had a bunch of bananas at home already. Gonna eat so many bananas during the next few days
