So ya...the other day a friend told me about a site that you can adopt a dragon and watch it grow...I've been addicted to it ever since. I even drew pictures of it. Darn you summer break! You and your making-me-lazy-ness! So ya...his name is Tinsel, and he is about to become a child because i take very good care of him. Yay me! So ya...really, nothing but this has gone on in my life...I really need to get back to college.
I just realized I missed my sixth year anniversary on myO! OH NOES!@ Happy anniversary to me! Six years huh?...wow, that was before theO was even working very well. It was just the place to submit the art...and have quizzes. That was it. My how things have changed. And do I have some interesting stories about it.
Yay thunderstorm! I love the rain. It just gives me a good feeling for some reason. Especially when there is thunder. This makes me an especially weird person because my best friend hates thunderstorms. Oh rain, how I have missed you!
Moving on. So ya. I was at Veishea...four weeks ago? Ya that seems about right. Now you are probably asking yourselves, what in the bloody world Veishea is. Well, let me tell you. VEISHEA stands for my university's celebration of...well, everything. From its activities to students to staff to classes. The actual letters stand for:
Veterinary
Engineering
Industrial
Science
Home
Economics
Agriculture
VEISHEA! Those are the five colleges inside my university, thus the reason for it. Needless to say, its been around since 1922, so its kinda a big thing. Plus there are free stuff and tons of things to do! So that kept me pretty busy.
Then there was dead week. Who decided it was a good idea to have VEISHEA the week before dead week? For those who don't know, dead week is the week were everything on campus is silent and everyone is cramming for finals the next week. Its the week were all classes basically stop. Thus, DEAD week. So lots of studying going on from me.
Then it was finals week. I hate finals. Not because they are hard, or because they are tests. I hate them because I always end up getting a final at 7:30 in the freakin morning. Or if it isn't that, its that my last final is on that friday at 8:00 at night, so I can't even move out until that saturday. Unfortunately, it was the first of the two I had this time. I actually got out on Wednesday of last week, but woe was me, I didn't move out of the apartment until friday. Figured I'd get as much of the lease out of it as I could.
Then this week. I hate that stupid old router. I had to keep resetting when I was home anyway because it would crap out and of course, the computer engineer can fix it! Because we don't know anything about technology, my family says happily. And it freaks my mom out that the instructions are on a CD and there isn't a paper copy. That kinda makes me frustrated because that means I'm going to get phone calls of "What's going on, I can't get onto the internets?" and "The cat pulled a cord out and I don't know if I should put it into the internet slot or the ethernet slot."
Oh the joys I will be having over this...and there was much rejoicing...
Ya...I am current addicted to a game called Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess...and I can't decide if I like it more than Ocarina of time. I mean, I love OoT because of the puzzles and its the first Zelda game I ever played and got me into the series. It was the pivotal point in my gaming life that really made me learn to appreciate RPG games and puzzle solving.
BUT! Twilight princess has a phenomenal story line. I couldn't even predict where it was going. And it was great to see how they changed the characters from the ones that I had in OoT. It also has a much better battle system than OoT. I also enjoy that it has something that no others have, which is the ability to turn into a wolf.
Oh what a dilemma. And when I'm not doing that...which is a lot of time...I work or do homework. SO needless to say, I've been busy. I'm sorry I don't get on so often as I want. I also feel bad about abusing my artwork. I feel so bad for my sketchbook. It just sits in front of me with a sad face. Poor thing....
I feel so old right now. We took the Japanese, Indonesian, and Middle East students outside and taught them how to play Frisbee. Of course it was fun, and I had a good laugh because the Japanese students kept cussing in their language, which got me started doing it too. Everyone was so surprised at how good the americans are at throwing it and were surprised that we had so many ways to throw it.
Needless to say, I started diving for it and running with the students and now all my bad joints are protesting. But it was so worth it. So very worth it. Afternoon well spent. Especially now that I have to write a lab report and finish a homework assignment I forgot was due tomorrow... oops...
