School is Hard

Every week it's like I'm crawling toward the weekend. But the only reason why I look forward to the weekend (most of the time) is because I won't have classes to pull me away from doing homework so I can do homework all day without interruption. Thank goodness this weekend will be different. I just finished a bunch of projects. The beginning of new projects usually go slower so I have time to relax a little and hang out with my friends in the beginning. So I will be doing that this weekend (along with some homework so I don't get too flustered later on). If this is what it's like now, I can't even imagine what it's going to be like next year. At least so far this year I've been getting plenty of sleep. I'm curious to find out how it will be. Actually, I just remembered that I have a big assignment due on Monday so I do have a lot to do this weekend. But tomorrow night I'm going to forget that I am a design major and just get with my friends and get really drunk. On Saturday I'm supposed to go to an AC/DC cover band concert with my dad and his friend, Jeff, but I'm worried that I might not have time for it. I hope I will because I like hanging out with my dad. Anyway, I need to go and study some more for this midterm I have tomorrow. But I just wanted to complain a little bit about how much my life sucks right now. At least I have friends in the design program that I can hang out and complain with, hahahaha..... ha... haha..

Since Kory tagged me...

It shouldn't even count because he didn't do one himself. Just kidding. Thanks, Megan. But I already did it on Facebook so I'm just copypasting it.

1. (Since I was just drawing) Most of the time I don't even know what I'm thinking when I think about how I'm a design major because I don't like most of the stuff that I do.

2. I have a really tough time making lists like these because I tend not to think about stuff like this about myself.

3. I really, really don't like talking on the phone. I feel awkward and I get distracted easily. I get distracted easily enough when I actually have the person I'm talking to right in front of me. I recently realized that I really need to fix this problem because It's becoming very troublesome.

4. I have to sleep facing a wall. Or at least start out that way.

5. I used to really love watching really creepy Japanese-style horror films but after watching a few I've realized that I linger way too long on them and they tend to cut into my sleeping time and I usually have to leave the lights on for about 3-6 months after seeing whatever movie in order to fall asleep comfortably.

6. Besides Japanese-style horror movies I love horror movies. Except for The Hills Have Eyes because that pretty much the only movie that made me come really close to vomiting while watching it.

7. I prefer dogs above all pets.

8. Speaking of animals, penguins used to be my favorite animal until that one documentary about penguins came out then it became everyone's favorite animal so I got really sick of hearing about them. Now it's the cuttlefish.

9. As much as I love some very choice anime series(es?), I really don't like most of it.

10. I drink a lot of water. I also have to pee a lot during the day, though.

11. When I eat I usually take my glasses off and/or tie my hair back. Probably because I'm a pretty messy eater.

12. Like most of my family (at least my parents and my sister) I'm really competitive. But I think I lose pretty gracefully.

13. Almost nothing in the world feels more comforting to me than giving my big dog (Mocha) a big hug.

14. Since I've driven from Tacoma to Bellingham and vice versa so many times, I tend to zone out whenever I do it. Which I guess is pretty dangerous and I should probably stop doing that.

15. When I was younger I was actually terrified of going to jail. Because of that I promised myself I would never get into any sort of trouble and I would always do as I was told... it's been working out pretty well so far...

16. Unlike Lisa, I am actually as shy as people think I am. (when first meeting people)

17. I think a lot of the facial expressions that I make feel a lot different from what they actually look like.

18. As much as I loooooove playing video games I don't really have a very long attention span for most so it usually takes me a really, really long time to beat them if I ever end up beating them at all.

19. I once spent an entire summer listening to just one song on repeat and, after about 3 years, I'm still not sick of it.

20. I've been to way more Decemberists concerts than any other concert but they're not my favorite band at all.

21. Even though I'm pretty productive, sometimes I wish this attention span issue that I have were ADD so I could get on meds then be SUPER productive. (it might be ADD... I haven't gotten diagnosed or anything)

22. Speaking of having a short attention span. I sometimes completely space out in the middle of conversations with people. So... sorry about that, guys.

23. I get annoyed really easily but I also can be freakishly patient with some people and some circumstances. Most of the time if I'm trying to teach someone something, I can be incredibly patient.

24. I think I was a pretty big bitch when I was younger, especially to some of my family (like middle school/early high school). But that's when I was an emo-wanker. I'm better now. :D

25. And finally......... uugh I can't think of anything. I have to go pee.

THE END!

School has been eating my life.

The REAL reason why I don't want babies.

I remember this was the scariest shit of my life back when I watched Rugrats obsessively. Good job, Nickelodeon. Good job.

Killer Queen

For the title I just put my iTunes on random and put the title of the second song that came up. It's the second one because the first one was Adagio for Strings and that's kind of an emo title. I'll save it for later, lol.

So anyway, I have about an hour to kill before I have to head off to my second and last design class for the day and I thought, since I haven't updated in like an eon, that I would... do that. But chances are I won't have much to talk about. But here I go!

So... uh. I got a new computer last weekend. It's pretty sweet and it has a big, beautiful, 22" monitor. I love it. It's really bright though and staring at it too long makes me feel uncomfortable (like I'm looking into my future or something) so I have to take breaks from it.




I pretty much love how it's not crappy and slow like my laptop. I've been slowly putting stuff on it like photoshop and games and stuff so it's not quite perfect yet but hopefully it will be soon.

In other news I started my classes. I'm pretty excited about all of them because I'm learning something different and useful in each of them (except for 211 because it's basically the history of writing which, while it can be very interesting, is usually pretty dull and not all that useful). I'm learning how to print stuff on a printing press and offset printer (like manual printing... I have to crank the ink roller over the paper and place down the stuff I want to print and stuff, it's pretty cool). I'm also getting farther into the design element of things. Right now we're designing identities for imaginary businesses. In illustration we're working with cut paper and making book covers. I really like the last two classes because not only are we learning really useful stuff but we're also learning about what we can expect from clients and how to deal with them and basically the do's and don't's of being an illustrator/designer. It's really great and I feel like I can learn a lot of really key things from these classes. And they're fun and my professors are great. So I'm really excited about this quarter and really the rest of my college career because I know I'll mainly be working with these professors and that's really cool.

So Lisa's gone back to Korea! I don't really miss her right now (lol, sorry Lisa) but that's just because I'm actually pretty used to not having her around. It is nice to have Lisa around and be able to talk to her about random stuff that I usually woudln't talk to my friends in Bellingham about, or maybe even not talk to Megan or Diana about. But, whether I miss Lisa or not, I'm still really excited to see her when I go to Korea this summer!

I think I'm going to go eat an apple. I haven't been eating many vitamins lately and my body is reacting to it. Byeee

ETA - I really want this fucking watch. Does anyone want to spend $230 on me? haha.
