Attempting an Update

Thus far, I have still been unable to cut and paste anything I’ve written in here. Which is making me not very happy. If I can’t do that anymore…Well, there will be less things put in here than there would of been otherwise.

Homework/College front…I’m in my next to last week…& next week isn’t even a full week!

Creative Writing: We are done with actual ‘class’. We have one more meeting on the 29th. We hand in our portfolios, with our final assignment in it. #7 was a choice between another revision, and writing something new, but it had to be a social commentary. I tried to get out of the social commentary bit (as I know I do not want to revise anything. #5 was enough for that!). He did say I could write about a teacher telling a student something along the lines that fan fiction wasn’t an acceptable medium. So…That’s pretty much what I’m attempting to do. Not sure in the end it’s really going to have much social commentary, but whatever. I’ve got the thoughts sketched out in my head, and part of it written even (part of it typed even).
#5, which was a revision (read: addition) to Chemistry I got a 3.5 on. My Photography teacher read the original version in the magazine and really enjoyed it. Didn’t think it needed added on to. I didn’t think it did either, but I needed something for revision. As it stands now…It’s without any definite end…But I’m not of the mind/mood to work on it at any point soon.
#6 was an analysis of a story from our text book. I got a 3.4 on it. *shrugs* [I should be getting a 3.5 overall in the class I think.]
Our final meeting…We’ll be going to Stella’s again. Seriously though, what is a more fitting place for a class full of writers to hang out than the basement of a former insane asylum?

Eastern Religions: Egads. Blah. We have book presentations today. Our group is doing a power point. The one in charge of it originally, dropped the class without bothering to tell any of us she was quitting. O.o Luckily, someone else stepped up and said they could do it. [Reese said she could too…But I’m glad someone else spoke up…After all, I’ve seen how Reese gets things done. She still hasn’t handed in any of her 3 papers for Eastern Religions! & despite the big ‘Late papers will not be accepted’ being printed on the handout, she seems to think she can hand them in and have it do her some good. *shrugs* I don’t know…I really don’t think she’s ready to be at college.] Anyway…The one doing the power point now sent us a copy of it…But my computer doesn’t do power point, so yeah…Can’t even look at it before class.
Other than that…He didn’t give us our usual Tuesday quiz this week…Though next Tuesday will more than make up for it, I’m sure…As next Tuesday is our final exam. [Tis the only class I have an actual exam in. It’s 100 questions, but it’s multiple guess…& we’ve seen half the questions on our previous quizzes.]

3-D design: I don’t know if today will be our last class, or if he requires some kind of portfolio review too. He didn’t even bother to show up to class Tuesday. He had Doug babysitting us…So I ran out of class. *laughs* Not like Doug didn’t know where to find me. I was next door sitting with James. James had invited me to do such prior to realizing that our teacher wasn’t even there anyway. I had my mask done, and it was at home, so it wasn’t like I was going to be doing any work on it. I’ve got the sketched done that are suppose to go with it. The only thing I didn’t have ‘done’ was the bio…And it didn’t get quite as done as I’m sure it should be…But I couldn’t come up with a suitable personality for her/it…So yeah…*shrugs*
Not thinking I’m going to get my extra credit though…I’ve got ‘weapons’, but I didn’t make them. I grabbed a couple of the plastic sais that are laying around here. I’m going to have my fangs too. I had wanted to get a coyote tail, but both places I figured I could get one have disappeared. Blah. But, I’ll make due with what I have. [Which will include a really bad hair do after 3-D design. O.o *laughs* Oh well. I’ll live.]

Photography: Not sure completely where I am on this one at this point…As I have some prints I have to go through.
Final portfolio review is Wednesday the 29th. [Shaping up to be a busy day…Field trip with Harley in the morning, 1:00 lunch with Creative Writing class, 3:30 portfolio review.]
We need 21 pictures. 1 of them a self-portrait shot (which we need a copy of, as they keep one). I have picked out 3 (so far) from my previous mid-semester portfolio to continue over. I’ve selected 7 more prints I had already had printed to go into it…So that makes 10. I did a couple prints yesterday that may or may not go into it…At least one will.
I’ve got a few self-portrait prints, but none that I’m sure are making it into the portfolio. Oh yeah…I did a couple hand colouring ones…I’m not sure if they are both going to make it or not…I think Sonja’s might…I’m not sure about mine.
OMGs…The one picture I printed, I looked like a zombie! [And the teacher actually seemed to like it…It’s the one she suggested I hand colour. *laughs* ] Actually, it is kind of a cool print, and a couple others liked it as well…I will have to scan the original & the hand coloured one together. But yeah…I need to sort through them to see what’s what.

As I have no actual classes Monday, I will most likely be in the dark room & work room, getting my portfolio finished.

Students who have completed Photo I can ‘rent’ the dark room during the semester. It’s $100.00. Not bad when you really think about it. That covers the chemicals needed to develop and print. She said she would sell us film for $1.00 a roll. Only thing is…Don’t have a camera of my own…The one I’ve been borrowing is going to have to be going back to where it came from. *sigh* Tis a shame…I really have been enjoying the whole Photography thing.

Not looking forward to this summer…Well, I am, and I’m not. Summer is good…Critters having to spend every other week away, not so good…Not good at all. I’m going to be going crazy, especially if I can’t find something to keep me preoccupied.

Which leads me to a bit of other that’s been getting to me the last little bit. Feeling a bit ‘lonely’. Just that desire to have someone there. Evil aching feeling.
Despite knowing he’s not worth my thoughts, been thinking about Todd a bit more than I had been again lately. I think part of that is due to the fact it’s been nearly a year since we first started really hanging out. [Yeah…Tomorrow actually. Why do I remember that? Someone shoot me?]
Also doesn’t help that I’d like to kidnap James…I still swear, he is as close to the perfect guy as I could get…There is just that whole pesky gay thing…& yeah, Harry of course.
Anyone remotely interesting is either taken, or gay, or both.

Joy…I’ve managed to put myself in a mood before even leaving the house…School should be so much bloody fun today. *sigh*

Eh, this will have to do for an entry…As long as it will save that it. It’s hard to tell anymore.
