silentdescant: (to do list)

fucking college entrance essays. i've about 375 of the required 500 words, and i dunno if it's complete crap or what. gushing about the school and my future goals (of which i'm still unsure) just doesn't sound right. i say that a lot when i'm writing essays. it's not like fiction, where it doesn't really matter what the words say as long as they flow and sound natural and make sense. i get by on writing fiction mostly be feel. essays are a load of really annoying crap that takes actual brain work. at least, my essays are.

in addition, i haven't done my math homework for tomorrow, and i had a take-home test (open book! a week to complete it!) that i haven't started yet and that i have to turn in tomorrow. oh fuckin' hell.

also, there is a really adorable guy in my studio class that i was flirting with like, the entire time. wtf. and i haven't had much of a conversation with tony in a while and that's a bit odd and i kinda miss him. :( of course, i'm sure that'll change once he gets back from wherever he is. *headdesk*

i think i should note that i'm only working on the essay for scad at the moment. drexel needs one too, as does wsu. kill me nowwwwww.

edit: okay, i have 2 more rants. 1) lj, what the fuck is going on with my layout? it's like... not adjusting properly. stupid lj problems. and 2) i've not lost any more weight in a while. i am a carb queen. >.< my mom figures my after-school headaches are from sugar withdrawal. ugh.

silentdescant: (yay!)
eta: waaah, the html on this post sucks.

eta2: ok, I dunno if it's my html or lj being annoying. probably the later. *KICKS*

in no particular order, some update-y things...

  • A- on my first Italian quiz!! the average grade is a C, and apparently some people failed completely. eek.


  • today's math quiz: HARD. omg I completely didn't know how to figure a couple things out. uh oh. hopefully I didn't do too terribly, though. also, my calculator is doing weird things, and even when I asked the teacher about it, he was like "uh.... that IS weird." so I'm gonna head to the math lab in a minute to see if they can figure out what's wrong with it.


  • every now and then, Tony will say something incredibly sweet and it makes my heart melt a bit. :) hopefully he'll have gotten on his flight by now; last I talked to him it had been delayed. >.<


  • there are orange leaves all over the courtyard and parking lots at school. I love fall; it's so pretty. green is my favorite color, but when all the trees turn orange and red, it just looks fantastic.


  • will post the next chapter of runaway tomorrow. \o/

wow, it feels like I haven't posted in forever, even though it wasn't that long ago.

1. Tiffany gave me a very pretty silver and peridot bracelet for my birthday. :)

2. There's a guy called Jens in my studio production class that is awesome and funny. We chatted for a while when we both had to be on-camera, pretending to interview each other, and then later, he directed while I was tech director, and we kinda clicked and did really well (better than pretty much all of the other pairs), which was totally awesome. There's also a deaf girl in the class, and she has two interpreters with her, a guy and a girl. The guy's hands remind me vividly of Dominic's, and he wears a couple rings too. :P It made me wonder if Dom's ever tried sign language. I imagine he'd be good at it, what with all his gesturing and constant movement when he talks.

3. Over half the people in that class have first names starting with J. LOL

4. My room is now about 90% clean. There's still a load of crap on all available flat surfaces, but the floor is clear and I took out a lot of old books to make room for new ones. It just needs to be vacuumed and nit-picked, now. It's so much nicer this way. Although, I must admit, the other night when I was lying in bed, I couldn't get to sleep because the curtain thing on my bed wasn't hanging the same way it was before. How OCD is that? >.< I ended up getting out of bed anyway for something else so I fixed it before I went back. LOL

5. The library booksale was a success! (even though I didn't find any of the specific things I was looking for, but I wasn't really expecting to, so that's okay.) I took home about 10+ books, including one book of poetry and Macbeth. Or maybe I put Macbeth back... I don't remember. Anyway, I've already finished one of the other books, called The Assistants, and OMG IT WAS AWESOME. If you're at all connected to or interested in Hollywood or show business, you should read it. On the back cover, it said "laugh out loud funny" and I don't tend to believe that kind of thing, but it was so true. Also, Griffin is the most awesome character ever, and I love that name. :P

6. Classes have been going well, or just going. I had a math quiz today, but it was pretty easy and I'm almost positive I aced it. (There was only one page of questions, though). Also, the math teacher has a really cute ass. What? I sit on the front row, and he's always turned around writing on the whiteboard. I can't help but notice. *giggles*

7. I'm taking the SAT (again!!) next weekend. Apparently. I did not know this before two days ago. If I bring up my score by like.. 60 points or something, I'll qualify for another 5k in scholarships (I think). PRESSURE, ANYONE? dammit.

8. I'm suddenly nervous about a lot of things. Posting a fic tomorrow, my looming Italian quiz, the SAT on Saturday, finishing my SCAD essay, and finding a focus for my portfolio. fuck. And I also hate it (well, okay, I don't hate it, because I love most of what I write) that my best writing is fanfic and I can't show it to anyone outside of fandom. How am I supposed to prove that I actually can write if I never write anything for academic eyes?
silentdescant: (write)
1. Today, on the way to school, I was nattering on about something (my mom was driving), and suddenly I said "GOLLUM!" The car in front of us had the license plate "GOLLUM" and the thing that goes around the license plate (I dunno what it's called) had the end of the ring poem, "one ring to bring them all / and in the darkness bind them." hahaha, my mom said "Oh look, there's another LotR fan." :P

2. I dislike the subject of slavery. I don't hate it, at least not as much anymore, but I really don't like it. I mean, of course I don't like slavery, but I don't even like the topic of it, intellectually. Religion, on the other hand, I have some interest in. I'm not very religious myself, but I find the subject very intriguing. So, what do I do? I start writing a fic about slavery. *headdesk* I do have one in progress about religion too, though. lol

3. Math class. Precalculus. Trigonometry. So far, it's not been anything too difficult, and the instructor is nice and young and he explains things pretty well (even though I still had to ask my dad for help understanding my homework). I'm worried that it's going to get hard really fast, though. >.< I hate five-day-a-week classes.

4. Italian. The teacher (professeressa) loves my last name (which is Italian). She talks in Italian a lot, though. More than I expected for the first week of classes. And she doesn't explain everything she's saying, which is a bit stressful. So far, I've memorized the Italian alphabet, though, which is good, and my almost-two years of Latin are definitely helping.

5. Apparently I never posted about this! My mom kind of found out about my slashy online activities. I played it down, though, (okay, I lied) and admitted to very tame versions of what I actual read/write. Obviously I couldn't deny anything as she'd seen something, but apparently it wasn't anything too porny, so while it wasn't a good thing that she found out, at least I know that it could've been very much worse. And at least this way she knows something so I don't have to be quite as paranoid. LOL

6. The Incline of Trees (aka: lotruni) has been updated!!!!!!! omgomgomg GO AND READ. *incoherent flailing* 

7. Next week, I think, I will begin posting something that I half want to keep as a surprise and half want to shout out to everyone. I'm very excited about it. :D

8. Dom. Just Dom. ♥
