of Catching Up & Falling Behind
I really need to learn to write blog entries on the spot, instead of telling myself oh I'll make a good lengthy one later. Then I never do, haha. Things have been going all right. Already just a tad bit behind schoolwork but planning to catch up by tomorrow.

Been wanting to share my creative writing exercises to y'all but havent had a chance. That class is a bit scary, having to do exercises on the spot and sometimes having to read aloud. ^^;; So not used to that heh. For the first Submit days, I handed in my two short original fics I've written before. They're the ones listed in my masterlist. I briefly glanced over the comments but really am scared to read and take in. It's the first time I've had my stories looked at by anyone professional. Any previous original stories I've done (aside from when I was 10) were always done for school so I never really had big attachments to them. This is different, they're fics I really tried to excel in. Fanfic is different, I'm not as scared when people actually do critique it cause it's not all mine obviously. I'm just tweaking known characters and situations. Well, we'll see. I may or may not post my exercises up, not sure if anyone would truly be interested.

Hating my Group Speech class... Not so much the subject matter but the group I was assigned to. Including me, we're a group of six, three girls and three boys. The girls are great and talkative. One boy actually speaks up a bit. The other two? SILENCE. Our first assignment as a group was to find out one thing we all had in common, use that to create a group name & a logo. The girls were talkative, the boys shrugged their shoulders. We even tried video games but apparently *gasp* one of them really wasn't into gaming even though the rest of us were. Two days straight and we couldn't get anything on them to agree or share. Worse than pulling teeth, I know as I have plenty experience on that. The closest we could get to was we have all been out of the country, sadly one never used an airport so we couldn't get more specific. The girls and the semi-talkative boy decided to narrow it to smuggling. We've all had smuggled something in (just the usual normal stuff, nothing illegal). Except the two boys were rather quiet. One said that he only left the country when he was a toddler and the other just shrugged and fingered his DS. We finally agreed that they would lie and make something up for the presentation. I volunteered to make the logo. You''ll see it under the cut. =D The bag used is taken from thinkgeek, rest is drawn by me. XD So we finally have a name, Smuggling Travelers! The next month is going to be hell though with the real group assignment. I feel like the girls and maybe the one boy will be doing everything. BLAH.

Math is boring but necessary, have some stupid ass hecklers in the back of the classroom. If they're loud & noisy I one more time I may have to complain to the teacher. Basically just need to make sure I understand all the materials before test times. Best way is to do the assignments and show up for class. History isn't soo boring but as I've tried to take the same class before, the first few weeks are a bit redundent. Lots of writing and reading but I hope to get it all done. No real friendly faces in this class *sigh*.

Astronomy is online and that's the class I'm really behind on cause my textbook decided to take an extra week to get to me than stated. I hope I'll be able to catch up. Love the teacher and she's kinda easy so hoepfully I'll have no problem catching up.

Dad's really pressuring me to get a job. I'd like the money but I'd rather focus on school and my online projects (LJ keeps me sane, y'all keep me sane) so I can get my degree and get a job in the field I want. Dunno, might go to Spirit on Tuesday now that the weather is better and apply. Seriously, past two weeks? Couldn't get ANYTHING done with the house being always near 90 degrees despite a fan. Not fun.

Speaking of the house, it's up for sale. The owner prolly getting too old to care about it, not like she ever did. So now we're succumbed to having to clean up our apartment at a moment's notice for potential buyer walk throughs. >_< Dunno if anyone will buy this PoS. Needs so much repairs it's ridiculous. Only reason it shouldn't be torn down as it survived the 1906 earthquake and all earthquakes since. that's pretty awesome. At any rate since we're not illegals like most of the neighborhood, if we get kicked out we'll be sure to get the monies owed to us to find a new place. Pip really wants me to move to Millbrae. If it meant spending more time with him, I'd like that. It'd be a miracle to find a place in San Francisco with min 3 bedrooms for under 1200... And that's pushing it for us. At any rate, I don't see us moving out before the end of the year.

I think tomorrow shall be Meme-Day so expect some non-sensery from me. =D Will prolly catch up on emails and comments tomorrow. *hugs flist* Oh, n2s for next post... talk about tv shows...

OH! I can't believe I almost forgot! I'm an aunty again! My 2nd oldest brother had his first kid, a whopping 10 lb baby! His name is Mauricio (*groan*) Jonathan. I'll either be calling him MJ or Johnny. =D Seen him once so far, looks like a chubby baby buddha haha. =D
