Time for a real update! Gasp! I have no idea why this has been so hard for me, but whatever.

It's finals week for me, thank GOD. Two more things to turn in and I'm done for this quarter. As fond and happy as I've been in Columbus recently, I am SO VERY READY to be done with school. At this point there's next to nothing I can do to budge my GPA in either direction, no matter what I do, so I am struggling to give a damn about grades. Heh. I'm excited to have a "break" before my last quarter of school (even though said break will consist of me busting my balls to make some money and then spending probably all or most of said money in San Francisco).

What else? Next quarter I'm taking the last of my GEC's, requirements so that I can graduate. I'm already done with all my English major requirements, thank GOD. I'm going to be doing the Lantern again, which should be fun. It'll probablly be more work than it was during the summer, but that's fine. I was originally thinking of applying for an internship for next quarter, but I can't drop any of my classes aside from the Lantern, and I don't want to drop that one, and I really can't afford to quit my part-time job, so there you go. Not enough time in the day.

I did a column on horror movies in the last edition of the Lantern, speaking of the student newspaper. Actually, the column was about how much I suck at watching scary movies, but anyway... Aside from the atrocious crimes against grammar that were committed against it by whoever copy-edited it, it's more or less still readable, and I've had two separate people email me about it, which makes me REALLY happy. The second of the two people has been emailing back and forth with me for a day or two now and we're gonna meet for coffee in...about an hour here, actually, just to talk. Should be interesting! I'm always looking for someone to be able to hold up an intelligent conversation here at school, so yay for that!

I dyed my hair again. Just got tired of the bright red. It was originally supposed to be DARK red, but it turned out almost burgundy, though it might even out once I've washed it a few more times. I like it, though. I've missed having dark dark hair (though I have yet to ever go black, mainly because a few of y'all have warned me against how hard it is to get the black OUT Of your hair once you're sick of it!). Pictures behind the ( cut.Collapse )

What else? OH YES. revid sent me the most hilarious book, Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis. Harry Potter IN LATIN. I died. I might be one of the only people I know who's just retarded enough to think that's AWESOME. *giggles*

...there's MORE THAN ONE OF THEM? Oh man. *dies* Allright, anyway, gonna go now. Catch you kids later. ♥

Thank you again tasyfa for the making-of BOBD video! I have to go find divx to watch it, but at least now I HAVE it.

Today I was quite productive. Went to speak with an academic counselor, returned the network adapter and ethernet cable to Best Buy (yay full refunds! now the wireless had just better keep working) and went grocery shopping. Have spent the past hour or two wangling over school-stuff, which I blather on about beneath the cut. ALSO the scarf I started last Wednesday is already over half-done. Yay!

And maureen_lycaon, there's a book-rec beneath the cut that you should look into; if you don't feel like reading through my babble, just scroll down til you see your username again. :) Also, warnings for a ridiculous abundance of HTML links. I went a little crazy. Heh.
( Cut for a long school-type ramble.Collapse )

Now that I've made my eyes bleed from too much HTML, I think I'm going to take a brief brain-break and maybe go read the new book I picked up at the Book Loft downtown with Matt and Nicole two Sundays ago, at least til my girl gets online again. Thus far I'm quite enjoying it; it's by the same dude who wrote Wicked, which I admit I haven't read, but I want to once I've finished this one. Haven't gotten far enough to tell you whether or not I recommend it, though!
