This semester is turning into hell.  I'm never taking another art class again.  I'm so glad I didn't officially switch majors yet. x_x

I knew art courses wouldn't be easy, but I had no idea how hard they actually were.  There's so much to do!  And you constantly have to come up with bullshit deeper meanings behind every art you make.  And the courses I'm in aren't really teaching me anything.  They're just sort of... abstract stuffs?  And very vague.  I don't even get a lot of it.  Everyone seems to be doing better than me too, possibly because they actually understand what they're doing, possibly because they haven't caught senioritis yet, possibly because they're just plain better artists.

German is no fun this semester either.  Apparently our teacher gives the most homework out of anyone in the department.  And he seems like a really nice guy when he's not teaching, or at least not teaching German, but as soon as he slips into German Teaching Extreme Mode he turns into this asshole.  He demands verbal responses for every question he asks, especially the ones where silence is the commonly accepted response ("Any questions?" No questions asked.  Teacher moves on.); I think that might just be a teaching style difference between USA and Germany (he spent the past few years in Germany).  So I kind of get the annoying "You will answer, you will answer now!" even if I dislike it.  What I don't get is why he literally shouts at us until we respond "loudly enough".  Why are you acting like a drill sergeant.  Stop it.

Oh, also one of my art courses has a departmental "party" at the end of semester as a "reward" for the students.  Attendance is fucking mandatory.  It's timing directly interferes with my rp group.

My comic probably isn't going to update this week at all, because on top of everything up there, I'm sick.  I really didn't want to schedule-slip the damn thing.  Fuck.  Sorry about the lack of updates, y'all, really.

Is slightly less horrible news, my laptop is coming apart.  It's less horrible because I'm getting a newer, better one.  That I'm going to have to figure out how to multi-os.  Because I love XP too much to let it go, and everything is Windows 7 now.  :(

I'm seriously considering dropping out of college over this workload thing, though.  Gah.  Everything I try is harder than the last thing.

Did I mention how much I hate art classes?

Moved in! \o/

Don't have all the stuff I need because, with Dad out of commission, we could only take what would fit in one car.  Just have the essentials.  Short notebooks.  Need to buy one for notetakings!

Bah.  Tired.

I have been away from this account for ages.

Vacation happened (which I actually posted during) and then I got obsessed with rping and then I went to see laetina .  So... sorry I've been vanished.

Lately working to build a campaign to play over the phone with laetina.  It involves my goblins!  (see: Stiltskein)

Now I have to get back in the swing of rping again... hopefully without disappearing from my personal account again.  Hm.

 NSFW, but hilarious! :D

Almost missed my fucking German final because I didn't read where it was being held.  Had to run down the Hill and up to HSS within five minutes while still recovering from my cold of death.  Had a hard time breathing by the time I got to the final BUT I MADE IT IN TIME

geh

not happiness

Anyway, probably discontinuing the 30 days of blogging challenge because the remaining questions really don't interest me.

 Whew!  End of the semester is annoying.  So much to do! >:V

Been working on a Dragon Age: Origins fanfic.  It follows along the same story as the game (at least at first), so I'm primarily relying on character interaction to make it appealing.  Drew some art for it too, but I haven't scanned it yet.

Doo de doo.

 Trying to write two 5+ page papers and pack for going back to school.  One of the papers is coming along, and is already at the three page mark, while the other one is kinda stuck at page one.  Writing on the use of amplification in religion is hard!

Have taken several breaks to play Oblivion on the xbox.  Have packed the playstation already.

Damn.  I really need to get back to the dm of the new space game on my character.

We celebrated my Dad's birthday by going to the movies and then going out to dinner.  I saw Red Riding Hood--which is a pretty good movie--and then we went to this nice sushi place that just moved into our town.  It was all lots of fun, right up til I threw up. >(

So I played FF for a while.  It's pretty fun!  I don't know what the combat's like in the other ff's, but the one I've got is pretty smooth so far.

 GAH

I've been playing Kotor, and putting up with vile bugs, but no more!  There's a sudden evil fps minigame that I can't get past.  It's so unlike the rest of the combat!  BAH  I was really enjoying the game, too!  But I suck so hard at fps.  D<

This is a beautiful question, and I want to save it for in case I ever have the answer.

In other news, I passed a flock of robin cousins out exploring on my way to church.
