I am so fucked.
Jan. 29th, 2008 02:36 pmso that's all the good stuff. the bad stuff is: I got a 77 on my Italian test, and all from little tiny mistakes; my physics teacher is an ass, but he *tries* to be nice, which makes it that much worse; the moron in my lab group is such an annoying IDIOT; vista's still giving me issues and I can't turn in my writing assignment; pretty much all recent conversations with my mom; I have a physics exam on Thursday that I'm so not ready for.
and I need to start a new painting.
kinda good
Jan. 24th, 2008 11:04 pmI meanwhile, felt better today. I dunno what it was; maybe having my Italian homework TURNED IN and starting a new chapter there, or maybe it was finally understanding something in physics. I was listening to some good music in the car, traffic wasn't too horrible, and I got to school early enough to work on some outstanding physics homework. and the skies have been SO CLEAR lately, the mountains on both sides of the city (the Cascades and the Olympics) both stood out and looked amazing.
although the physics lecture today was so well understood I didn't even bother taking notes for part of it. me and this other guy kept looking at each other like OMG HURRY UP THIS IS SO FUCKING BORING. we counted down the minutes until the end of class. >.<
I need to post my vignettes for writing today, but GRRR, am having trouble logging into vista. FUCKING VISTA. hopefully I won't get marked off for posting them a day late if I explain that I COULDN'T BLOODY LOG ON.
tomorrow's schedule: Italian, physics, physics HW Q&A, piano, art, and hopefully sleep. TGIF omg. y'know, last night I actually went to bed before midnight. O.o!
OH, AND TORCHWOOD. OMG IANTO FTW. ♥
torchwooooood!
Jan. 17th, 2008 08:52 pmin other news, I'll be posting some more little ficlets soon, but for one of them, none of my classmates have given me feedback yet, which kinda sucks, because that's the one I was kinda worried about. hopefully I'll get something soon, so I can edit it before posting. or should I post it and count on you guys to give me feedback? pretty please? ♥
I still have so my homework to do, omg. but at least there's a 3-day weekend after tomorrow. unfortunately, the homework's DUE tomorrow.
*sigh* I don't know exactly what it is about my classes this quarter, but every single day, I dread going to class. maybe I'm just staying up too late, but I don't know. I don't remember it feeling like this for my previous quarters. even as scary as precalc was, I didn't really hate it. then again, for that class, the teacher was really adorable... physics this quarter is just... not good.
the guy goes really fast through the problems, and it's just algebra, mostly, so it makes me feel kinda stupid for not following, but my brain is so split between trying to follow along whilst writing down everything as well, that I look at it and go O____o. and he told us, he fucking told us, that we don't need to memorize these formulas, that they'd be provided on quizzes and such, and yet, during these example problems, he expects us to know them by heart! and this is only the, what, 3rd week?
I did not mean for this post to turn into a physics rant, but apparently it has, and I'm sorry. shall we go back to Torchwood squee?
TEAM TORCHWOOD FTFW. I love all the little love triangles going on. EXCEPT FOR GWEN OMG WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT? but all the rest, yes, GUH. AND LOTS OF KISSING IN THE PREVIEW, YAY! :P
oh, weekends.
Jan. 12th, 2008 10:40 pm-
-
- try to extract those stupid fucking dvd files
- read physics and start online hw (which was only posted TONIGHT, WTF. grr, teacher)
- italian hw
- paint
eta: read history. stupid history. >.<
hm, what am I missing?
in other news, I slept until almost noon today, which was quite lovely. but then I ate breakfast and then nothing until dinner, so I completely pigged out on pizza, and now I kinda feel sick and gross. >.<
I think I had a bit of a breakthrough on my painting (hopefully). AH, THAT'S WHAT'S MISSING. *adds to list* anyway. I need to finish that and start a new one, like, really soon. like, tomorrow. hopefully.
oh, I stayed up late last night reading and reviewing vignettes from my fiction classmates, and I just have to say something: after reading all those, I feel like the majority of you guys on my flist are better writers than the guys in my class. ♥ there were a couple of pieces that I really enjoyed, though.
and randomly, I just realized how much I'm gonna miss my best friend here when I go off to college. we get half an hour of girl-talk time on fridays, and last week was really good for some reason (though, omg we are such gossips. LOL). I should have her over sometime soon... when she came over to help clean the house before the holidays, we stayed up SO LATE just talking. and now I'm making myself kinda sad, so I'll stop there.
oh, but omg, the new girl in my art class is SO ANNOYING. (she's not really new, but she's new compared to how long we've been doing art with the same little group). so I was talking to my friend in her bedroom before art, and the girl comes in, and I was trying to tell some story or other, and she totally interrupts me and starts just rambling on about something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. my friend is just looking at me like O___o and I'm looking back at her like O___O!! with my mouth kind of hanging open in shock, and when the girl finally stops talking, there's one of those weird, awkward silences, wherein I say "...SO ANYWAY" and try to pick up where I left off. that wasn't the first time she'd done that, but it was definitely one of the most OBVIOUS and ANNOYING times. she's just, like.. completely lacking in social etiquitte. omg. >.<
sorry to go all 'preteen girl' on you there, but she just bugs the hell out of me. let's see, how many times did I say "like" in that paragraph? wow, only 3? I said it more in my head, believe me. LOL anyway, that's all the inane rambling I'll subject you to tonight. I'm off to bed.
( etc. )
the good:
( etc. )
Anyway, I have to do several things before bed tonight:
- start math homework (moderately high priority)
- start Italian homework (low priority)
- write more (very low priority)
- gather food for lunch/dinner tomorrow
- make a recording of myself reading the director's script (can wait until weekend)
holy shit, that's a lot. >.< and it's already 11pm!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
...
I'm acting oddly calm for having an internal freak-out. O.o
I've been working on math problems for... let's say an hour. and I just now realized that I'm working out of the wrong section. dammit dammit dammit. it's not that they're difficult, even; they're just time consuming, and I didn't want to do 20 problems when all I had to do was 10. al;kjfl;sadjkf. I'm not happy about this.
school shit
Oct. 10th, 2007 10:02 pmfucking 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.
fucking lj.
Oct. 1st, 2007 11:02 pmalso, an addendum to the last post - this morning my dad got into a minor car accident and the front hood of his car is squished. >.< apparently the other car involved was a big suv and my dad drives a little tiny vw car, so his is the one that got damaged. it's going to get fixed tomorrow, but first my dad and i have to go to school and the dentist (respectively) in it. oh great.
eta: YAY OMG THANK YOU. it remembered all the settings that i tweaked for who knows how long when i set up my layout a million years ago. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU. *sigh of relief*
*facepalm*
Sep. 11th, 2007 11:25 pmi just left him a message saying SORRY and that we really need to connect sometime soon.
and another thing, what is up with voicemail not letting me listen to my unheard messages first instead of the ones that are going to be deleted?! i don't wanna deal with the OLD messages, i wanna listen to the NEW message, the one that relates to RIGHT NOW. stupid phone.
she just got a new internal storage hard drive for her computer.
my question: WHY THE HELL AREN'T HER FILES ON HER FUCKING COMPUTER?
as you may have noticed, i am a bit pissed about this. so i asked her (and i
damn little sisters.
*kicks things*
eta: also, lightning storm in seattle? very strange. kinda cool, but also kinda... freaky. *looks warily out the window*
i WILL make this work. eventually.
i just have to figure out HOW first. DAMN PHONE. I WANT TO BREAK IT. only that would be bad. so i won't do that, but I WANT TO SOOOOO BAD. DAMN FUCKING STUPID PHONE.
...and now tony's just told me how to download a file that i KNEW should've been simple to get, and it WAS, but i couldn't figure it out. so YAY for that. *downloads more stuff* :D :D :D so at least that's one good thing. lol
eta: hee, i like the 'determined' mood icon.
eta2: grabbing those files was SO FUCKING EASY. why didn't i think of that? i took a whole class on html and computer shit. i should've known that. anyways. YAY FOR EASY. lol
eta3: YAAAAAAY, things are working now. still not with the phone, but i can't deal with that at the moment. tony's just said that there IS an alarm clock on the ipod, which is PERFECT, so i don't even have to do the thing i WAS going to do with the phone, and this is all very good news. also, tiffany's coming over in like, an hour. and i'm not dressed and haven't eaten yet. oops. BUT MY IPOD WORKS! *giggles* AAAANNNNDDDD, i finally have a lot of those beecake videos in the right format so they're on there too! \o/ when did i get to be so electronics-illiterate? i'm not usually this way, i swear. lol
girl talk, or lack thereof.
Aug. 23rd, 2007 03:29 pmoh, so when i called tony, i told him what our friend asked for our addresses for: a graduation party invite. only, mine got wet so the photo she stuck in it completely washed out and glued itself to the top of the card. LOL the party's this saturday in GEORGIA, so i told tony "yeah, i'll just fly down there like, tomorrow maybe." and he said "i wish you would." or "i wouldn't mind that at all." or something. heh. yeah. O.o
i hate talking on the phone, but whenever i actually WANT to, nobody's available. *sigh* i should stop wasting the day (even though i've only been up since, like, NOON) and do something. maybe write a bit. maybe someone will call me soon.
grandpa: *points at my wristcuff* does a watch go on that band or are you just into bondage?
me: *barely contained giggles* um.. uh.. well.. *bites tongue to keep from laughing* uh.. i got one for my friend and one for me so we match.
me (in my mind): ROFLMAO
of course, then my grandma had to ruin it and say something like, "i want my granddaughters to look wholesome."
me (to my sis): *ROLLS EYES AND GROANS OMG*
it's been all of one and a half days and she's already driving us CRAZY. >.<
i think we get to escape to tony's house tomorrow night, or monday morning. YAYNESS.
ps: i think my grandma bought carrot cake for my aunt's and my birthday lunch. i don't like carrot cake. *headdesk*
4 days... (bit of a long update, lol)
Jul. 13th, 2007 05:02 pmbah! stupid internet. the network's broken, so my ~5 computer/4 person family is down to one single computer, and we're all kinda annoyed. Jill, i was going to reupload those zip files to sendspace for you, but now i can't get a connection between my computer and the internet at all, so i'm afraid they'll have to wait until after my trip, if you still want me to upload them for you. sorrrrry!!! :( i also meant to reply to comments from a bunch of people, but, while it's not impossible to do on this computer, it's difficult, so that'll also have to wait. grr.
also, it took me for-fucking-ever to make dvds for the theatre people. none of the stupid computers would burn a single working disc for the longest time. while i don't mind filming for these people and i certainly don't mind the money they pay me for doing it, i'm glad i won't have to KEEP doing it once i'm off to college.
i am ALMOST all packed up for the trip; i think i have all the clothes i'm going to take, so now i just need to get together my accessories/books/music/shit like that. and i have to leave enough room to bring back the new harry potter book, because it's getting shipped to one of the places we're staying, lol. i had a minor panic attack today because my mom bought the book with a credit card that was in her stolen purse and therefore cancelled, but she called...somebody and worked it out with the new credit card so they'll still send the book. *sigh* i'm reading/listening to HBP now, but i can't bring the book, so i'll have to transfer all the cds to my ipod. that'll take forever, i'm sure. >.< it's coming down to the wire with packing, but i feel like i'm pretty ahead of the game this time. well, until the last minute, i'm sure, when i'll find a whole suitcase worth of stuff i wanted to bring. LOL
oh and i watched velvet goldmine for the first time. ewan mcgregor/jonathan rhys meyers kissing and... doing other stuff = HOT omg. i still don't quite see the appeal of the whole glam-rock style, but those two were fucking hot.
also, brainspouse, since this computer doesn't have yim or googletalk (grr!), i hope you feel better!!! *LOTSA HUGS* less-than-three omg.
finally, an update
Jul. 7th, 2007 10:31 pmbut anyway. HARRY POTTER OMG. got tickets to a midnight show on tuesday, and i watched SS on abc yesterday, and am watching CoS now. PoA is on tomorrow, and then luckily i have GoF for monday night, and theeeennnn ORDER OF THE PHOENIX YAAAAAY. i've also started listening to the OotP audiobook, but i should just skip around in the cds because i don't have time to listen to the whole thing. lol
also, my AP biology scores came back last week. the scores are out of 5, and a 3 is a passing score, and will usually get counted for credit so i can exempt out of biology classes at college. d'you guys remember how much goofing off i did during biology? and how much i hated it? i would'a been ecstatic with a 3. and i got a 4. A FUCKING FOUR. I got a four. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I GOT A FOUR. *\o/*
i also now have 2 new pairs of shoes, and they are the cutest shoes EVER. :P i need to start PACKING omg. i leave for philadelphia in just over a week. i somehow have to fit everything i'm going to bring into one (small) suitcase and one carry-on. oh, and speaking of this trip, i finished the painting of my grandparents!! yay. i'm pretty happy with it, even though grandma doesn't quite look right. lol
oh, and! besides SCAD, there's now another school that i'm looking at, though i haven't really done a lot of research about it yet. it's in boston, which is cool, because i love boston and the north-east. anyway, it's called Emerson i think, or Emery or something. LOL! i haven't really looked at it yet! :P
but now it's tomorrow and i'm a bit worried. not about the writing section (i've always gotten high scores there), or about the reading, really (i've gotten pretty good scores there, i think). and i know some of you will hate me for saying this, but i actually (usually) enjoy math, so i'm not even really too worried about that. even though i haven't done math in about a year. >.<
by the way, i went to take the math test at school to skip the lower math classes (so i'd have enough time to do physics before i leave the school), and even though i'd never had trig before, i reviewed 2 sheets of notes and tested into the highest level math. GO ME. it's just so logical and straightforward. i hate all the subtleties of theory-based stuff. with math, it's either right or wrong and that's it. which is nice.
anyway, the part of the SAT i'm worried about is the essay. not because of writing skills, because i can obviously do that, and i'm pretty confident in my essay-format, but WHAT ABOUT THE SUBJECT MATTER? that's the part where i think i'll be at a loss. i'm not good AT ALL at relating topics to everyday examples or literary examples or what have you. so. yeah. hope i don't fail that portion miserably.
and then after the SAT's over, i go straight to my film shoot, which i'll have to rant about later. BLOODY FUCKING ACTORS. *headdesk*
hope you're all well. wish me luck tomorrow. ♥
omg lj stop being wanky
May. 31st, 2007 01:43 ami fiiiiiinally finished my essay about 2 and a half hours after the due time. and it's still on the short side. but at least it's coherent. mostly. i think.
(tiff, call me
was hoping to read at least one short fluffy fic before bed, but no, LJ is being annoying and preventing me from clicking on posts, so. bed it is, then. y'know what i really really want? printed versions of all those really long, really good fics. like c-verse and sema's series and. well, lotruni isn't really complete yet, but that too. *sigh* anyway.
also, surreality_fan, i did manage to see your post about GJ, and i've just friended you over there. was going to comment on your post, but LJ's being stupid so i couldn't, sorry. >.<
hopefully LJ will stop being so wanky soon. because omg this is annoying!
