So yeah?

I managed to finish two series this weekend, Romeo X Juliet and Tsubasa Chronicle. Stupid thing about TC is that I have to watch the second series to watch the end, because the first series ended kind of stupid. RXJ was just...well, it was starting to get a bit better with all the fighting, but then she pulled that crap at the end, so it just ended up sucking. I'm trying to finish all of the series I'm currently watching that are completed, which I'm nearly done with. Just need to finish Chi's Sweet Home, although I do have a few on hold right now. I just want to focus on currently airing series, which include FMA: B, Axis Powers Hetalia, Darker than Black, Kobato and Nyan Koi. I believe that's all of them. And then there are a couple new ones that I have on my plan to watch list which I figure I should start soon so I don't have to take forever catching up on.

I've been waiting all day for episode 29 of FMA: B. I just downloaded it because it's not up online yet, but it just gives me the audio, not the actual video. It's annoying, it did that last time I tried downloading it too.

I actually went to the astronomy club star party on Friday. It was awesome. We just went up to the mountains and seriously, it's amazing what you can see when you get out of the city. There were so many more stars, and I could actually see the Milky Way, which I've never seen before. And I saw a satellite and a shooting star, and then something else which I think was probably a shooting star because it was moving so fast, but I don't know because I was the only one who saw it (because I was just staring at random at the sky). That was just with my bare eye. There was a bunch more with the telescopes. It was nice at first, but then it started getting pretty cold. I didn't mind too much, since it's been so hot here despite being late October. And then afterward most of us went to IHOP and got food. My roomie joined, and she came along too, and she was the only one who didn't order breakfast. When you go out at 10:30 at night for food you obviously have to order breakfast.

The one problem with going out was that I had been sick this past week, but had been taking antibiotics so by Friday evening I was feeling about 99% better. However, going into the cold air for such a long period of time by Saturday I was back down to like 96% better. But now I'm pretty sure I'm fully recovered, not feeling anything.

I wish FMA: B would be online already. I guess I'll do some homework while I wait.

I don't even know...

I don't even know why I'm writing this. Well, I know why, but I don't know how I'm finding the time. I wasted over an hour today, and I'm going to write about that first. So my group for one of my classes agreed to meet today at 6 to finish up our project (we all had certain information that we needed to research, which we all did). So I meet one person there, and then we go and sit down and wait for the other person. She's texting him for 45 minutes, until he finally responds that he just woke up from a nap and completely forgot about it. Well, you were the one who said to meet Wednesday at 6, which by the way I didn't want to do because then I'd be biking back to the dorm in the dark (which I will get to in a moment), but that's the only time everyone could meet so it's what I did. So she texts him a bit more, he says he's trying to get out of bed and if he's not there in twenty minutes then something, I don't remember what it said. When your group has been waiting for you for 45 minutes you don't try to get out of bed. You get your ass out of bed as quickly as you can and get over there to meet them. So we ended up just emailing him our portions (because we couldn't do anything, since he's the one formatting the powerpoint since he said he likes doing that), and we're going to meet right after lecture tomorrow to go over it before Friday. So I will not be getting to study for my Italian midterm in that time, I will be working on this stupid project that I don't want to do.

And speaking of Italian...how I hate it. I am going to do everything I can to get into Japanese next semester. I'll try with that (even though it's going to mean I'll have less free time), and instead of four it's five days a week. But I can oddly enough speak a few basic phrases along with random words, and understand it a bit. See, watching all that anime is good for something other than just entertainment. Plus with Japanese I'll actually get to practice it, because I watch anime and have so much J-music on my iPod it's not even funny (except it kind of it, although I don't see why it's meant to be funny). Okay, I kind of got off on a tangent, kind of. The purpose for it is because today we did the oral portion of the midterm. I'm pretty sure I bombed it. But I feel that the way he set it up was partially to blame. First off, instead of doing just two people so that they'd have a one on one conversation with each other, he did three people at a time so he could get through faster. Well, that just doesn't work to well for me. If I'm not the only person someone is having a conversation with, then I don't usually get much, if anything, in at all. So that's how it was initially, but luckily one of them acknowledged me, and I totally screwed up. I couldn't remember how to say sixteen, so I just stood there like an idiot for like a minute, and in the end I just ended up saying fifteen, because I couldn't remember. I do now, it's diecisei. But that's another problem, I was nervous. Oh jeez, was I nervous. When I went into the hallway I'm pretty sure I was shaking a bit, and my stomach was definitely churning. And then to top it off, I accidentally mixed a bit of Spanish in it at the end, because they're so similar (yet so different) that it was just habit. It's actually just a habit of mine to mix languages when I speak in general, either Spanish or Japanese. I was actually afraid more that I might accidentally say a couple Japanese words in the conversation. I kind of did it last week, when I had him check my family tree off instead of saying 'grazie' or even 'thanks' I said 'domo'. So overall idea of this...I'm pretty sure I bombed it. Or did poorly. And tomorrow is the written, and I haven't studied much for it yet. I really need to work on verbs, especially avere and essere because I never learned all the different forms of them.

And tomorrow morning at 8 I have my chem lab midterm. I have no clue how to find the molarity of my NaOH, nor do I know what my sample size for the vinegar should be. Once I figure that out it'll be easy, because it's just another weak acid titration, which we've been doing the past two weeks. And what I find stupid about the instructions is that they say 'The problem is assigned to you alone. Unlike all other experiments in this course this will be an individual effort.' Yeah, okay, except the last two weeks we've been titrating and working on our own. And I'd put my money on guessing we have to work alone for the final too. Unless the final is that weird project thing, in which case it wouldn't. Luckily I finished the lab report due tomorrow yesterday, and I'm hoping that I get a good grade on it, because I put effort into it, and it came out to be 9 pages, 11 with raw data included. But knowing my TA I'll probably get some crap grade.

So that's what's due tomorrow. I have my race interview paper due on Friday, along with that stupid presentation, and I have one paragraph and it needs to be five pages. The instructions say that isn't a paper that can be done in a night, well we'll see about that. My first paper I did in about a night, maybe a night and a half, and I got a 92% on it. But wait, there's more! I had 12 objectives left on ALEKS for chem yesterday, but after I took the little assessment it gives every twenty or so questions I had 26 objectives. Right now I have that down to twenty objectives, and it's due in five days. And the test is next Tuesday. And this weekend is family weekend, and my family is coming down. Luckily they're going to the football game, so that'll give me a few hours on Saturday to study, and then I can probably do a couple hours that night, and then Sunday evening/night and Monday...afternoon, since I no longer have Monday mornings open. I'll get through it, somehow. Oh, and I'm currently thinking about taking the PCAT's in January, so I'm going to need to find time to start studying for that. Okay, I need to get back to my homework now.

OMFG

0:57 to 1:04, must watch.

That's right, it's OLIVIER MILLA ARMSTRONG!! She's finally coming, and the anime is therefore infinitely cooler. Because it's Olivier, in all her glory and bad-assery. Buccaneer and Miles look awesome too. I'm just so frickin excited for the entire Briggs crew!!!!!

I actually need to leave for chemistry in a bit, but I might as well post some more now because I don't have any time this week really. Because I have so much crap to do. For Thursday, I need to start and finish my lab report. Then I have my chem midterm, so I need to do the pre-lab stuff for that and study for it, plus my Italian midterm on Thursday as well. We had to have a little book done by today, I managed to finish it within a few hours between today and last night. Kind of a stupid book, they have a party, I think this one dude was going to hook up with the Valentina person, but they all end up being killed by a ghost of a woman who was killed with her lover by her husband. Makes no sense to me! Hopefully I do alright on the little test on it today so I don't have to bother with it anymore. And then I have a race interview paper that needs to be at least 5 pages due on Friday (which will be completely BSed, but I should start on it early so it sounds decent) and a presentation for the same class on Friday as well. And...I need to work on the ALEKS for chem, which I'm just going to have to slowly work on over the week, as well as studying for the test next week. Because I went home this weekend and got pretty much nothing done, then this next weekend coming up is family weekend, and my family is coming down, so that's not going to give me much time to study. I feel like I have more, but...I'll figure it out.

By the way, that's the new OP for FMA: B up there. First time I saw it I wasn't overly fond of the song, still not overly fond of it, but the animation is awesome (all thanks to a certain kick ass blonde major general better known as the Ice Queen). But the song is growing on me. I can't say I like the ED. The song has kind of a rap tone to it, and the animation is very Winry-centric. Not to say I hate it, but I prefer the others. And as for OPs, nothing is going to be "Again" because it was awesome. It possibly beat out "Rewrite" from the first series. However, I wasn't overly fond of the episode this week. With a new OP and ED comes a recap episode. It wasn't as stupid as recaps for other shows, there was a bit of advance in it, but...I don't even see why they need a recap. There's enough in the manga that they can easily fill up the 63 episodes, although I'm not sure how...OH, OH!! The manga! The manga was this weekend as well! It was awesome! Chapter 100!!! Poor Hohopapa, that's all I can say for him. And Greed!Ling...the unusually mutual relationship between them...he asked for power and completely took ultimate shield form. But poor Buccaneer, it made me sad, but it was awesome how even in the end he thought about Olivier's orders, to protect the front gate, which of course is the reason Ultimate Greed!Ling came about. I feel as if what I just said probably won't be understood by anyone but FMA fans...oh well.

Weekend wasn't overly bad. Went to the batting cages. How home cooked food. Oh, and I got some new clothing. A new belt since I was in serious need of one (which I was planning to get), but then I saw a jacket at Costco that I liked so my parents got it for me, since all I have really is my hoodie. It's down feather, so it's super warm. And then while at Target I found this awesome shirt with dead trees at the bottom and then a bat flying around. I figure I can wear it for more than just Halloween time. I was just going to get that, but then I saw this purple shirt, with Japanese writing on it, and a sakura tree in the background, I just had to have it. It's kind of low neck, so I'll have to wear a shirt underneath it because I prefer not to show off my cleavage like so many people do.

And that suddenly reminded, before I go class, today when I was walking to my bike after microbiology I saw something sticking out of some chick's bag. When she turned I discovered it was a dog's head. She had brought a Pomeranian to class and it had apparently just sat there the whole time. Freaky.

Wow a second post

I felt like writing more but didn't want to edit the last post I made earlier. Oh well, I probably won't write another one for a couple days anyway. Now what to write about.

Well I forgot to write that I decided to start Romeo X Juliet today. FUNimation has the subbed on their website, so I just decided to watch it, since I can't watch another episode of FMA: B. Crap, just looking at my list I have quite a bit going on right now. Not as many as some people (you know who you are) but I have eight I'm currently watching. It's really seven, but since the second season of Haruhi hasn't concluded yet I can't say I'm done with it. I watched all the new episodes, don't see the need to watch the first season over but in a different order. Other than those two I'm watching Hetalia Axis Powers, Chi's Sweet Home, Junjo Romantica, Tsubasa Chronicle, K-ON! Specials (a new one comes out every few weeks) and Romeo X Juliet. I wish I could get through Tsubasa Chronicle, but I don't have the time to do so, and it's just not overly pressing. I won't say it's not good, but it's not an anime that I absolutely have to get through the series quickly like others I've finished recently. I think I'll enjoy Romeo X Juliet because of the fact it's LOOSELY based off of Shakespeare's play. I really hated having to read that stupid play over and over again, I probably read it three or four times in my twelve years of school. There's nothing overly amazing about it, he did much better plays.

My house is now down to 15 cats. My uncle's fiance went over there last week to look at the kittens (the youngest batch, which are like 8 or 9 weeks old now) and today they took two of them, Kisa, who was the only girl of the group, and Chunk, who was possible the most adorable kitten I've ever seen. He looked like an ewok, he was so adorable. But at least I can go over there and see them when I want. So now that leaves Scotty, Lancelot, and the freaky looking Frankie of the youngest kittens, and then of course Izzy, Emelia and Yuuki of the oldest. I don't think we're going to find homes for them, they're nearing 6 months by now I believe, and from what I've been told Emelia and Yuuki are still as anti-social as ever and Izzy seems to be getting less social as well. Then there's the mother, Sakura, who I wouldn't mind just getting fixed (since she's a huge slut) and putting her back outside. So even after we get rid of all the kittens we want to get rid of (if that ever happens) that'll leave... 8 cats in the house. K.C., Rosco, Willow, Cora, Princess Peach, Allie, Tortellini and Pablo.

So today in my stupid INDV we started the African-American portion, and yeah. I don't know what to say about it. I was fairly pissed off of the blatant racism and racial profiling that was in some of the examples, but...and now I need to write a post about it before Friday, which I'm not sure if I'll be able to do well. I should have done it earlier when my thoughts were fresh in my mind.

I really need to make some friends...there's this one person I talk to who sits by me all the time in microbiology, but when her friend gets there she talks with her instead. And I also talk to one of my partners in chem before lecture starts, but that's about it with her. Making friends is hard...for me at least. I wish I was more capable at such a simple task. I'm practically friendless right now, especially since I barely talk to anyone from high school. It's not like I should though, because I'm in my second year of college. I don't need to be clinging to the past, not healthy stuff.

I am so tired...but I need to do a bit of chem, and my Italian, and study for microbiology. Blah. I wish it wasn't dark outside already, because I want ice cream. I could go to McDonalds since it's right next to the dorm, but I want Cold Stone. I could have gotten a Frosty at Wendy's when I went and got dinner, but I barely brought enough money for my meal. Subway probably wouldn't been the better alternative. I just wanted buffalo chicken, I didn't care where I got it from.

I can't think of anything else to write...except I'm cold. And...listening to Cascada. And...I really wish my sunglasses hadn't broke, because it's annoying, especially in the afternoon going to Italian, because the sun is fairly low at that point and I'm blinded by it. And...gah, seriously, how can my roommate take this cold? The only reason I'm bearing it instead of turning it off is because I prefer to keep the room cold to keep the bacteria down, especially since I think I may be/have been on the verge of getting a cold. Going to go take a hot shower now.

So...

Yeah...I have like twenty minutes until I need to be heading to class, I haven't updated this in awhile, I feel the need to type something, so yeah. Don't want to go to class, despite the fact that we don't do anything but discuss race and white supremacy and such I don't like the class. Hopefully I won't have to try and grab whatever is open next semester.

So, uh, my blog is three. At least this one is. I think I might have had a different one for about a year before this one, I can't remember. It's been that long, plus my memory is kind of weird. But that's beside the point. Gah, it just reminds me of how old I am. So old. Going to be twenty in November. That's old.

And I have a microbiology test this week. I was going to study this Saturday heavily for it then do light studying throughout the week. And that didn't happen. Because I ended up doing something on Saturday, which involved probably walking around 3 miles around various parts of the campus, in uncomfortable shoes, and when I got back to the dorm I kind of died for awhile, I just laid on my bed and played Pokemon Blue. And then I tried studying on Sunday, but I managed to get about...maybe on hour in? I got through one chapter of notes and then four pages of reading from the book. And I didn't do anything yesterday, so I really need to step it up today until Friday. I've actually been working more on chemistry (weird).

Over the weekend I also started reading Elfen Lied, since the anime was really good and I heard that the manga was better. So I started that on Saturday and finished on Sunday. And speaking of Sunday, the end of this week's FMA: B...I won't lie, I actually did tear up a bit. It was so...I don't even know how to describe it. Most people probably wouldn't see it as anything special, but...like I said, I don't really know how to explain it.

Also, I thought up of an idea for an anime. Not like it's ever going to happen, unless someone were to somehow steal my idea from my mind. It's magical girl, but darker than most in the genre. I don't even know how I came up with it. If I could actually draw I'd make a comic out of it or something, but I can't so darn. Even if I could just draw to get the characters down. I don't know what everyone looks like, but I have an almost perfect idea of what one of them looks like, a pretty clear idea about the second, and then the other two a so-so thought about their appearance. I'm not even sure if I like the personality I thought up for one of the girls.

Alright, I should probably start going to class...or not? Hmm...no, I need to go. They're probably handing back the race interview proposals today.

Wow

So I got an email today about priority registration for spring 2010 semester. And naturally I had to try and plan my schedule out. And I did, and I like it. I'd be done by 2 every day, although my mornings would be really busy, like starting at 8 on most days and having 3 or 4 hour blocks of classes. Hopefully I'll be able to get what I want since I get to register as a sophomore this year. Of course, I probably won't, I'm sure something is going to screw it up and I'll have to struggle to fit other stuff in between my sciences (those are the first things I always go for). But if it goes as planned I'll get physiology and lab, organic chemistry and lab, Japanese, and then Popular Culture in Japan. It wouldn't kill me to not get the Popular Culture, but I really want to take Japanese (although I could substitute Russian, I should check on that as a backup) and need psio and o-chem. And then I even possibly planned for summer, I'll take the economics class I need (if they have it) and another calculus class at community college. I don't think I'm going to take two courses for one summer session, because the workload is way too much. I was doing six hours of class a day, four day a week, then going home and doing homework almost until I went to bed. I can't really do that this summer because I need to get some hours of experience in at a pharmacy. I need fifty hours, and have none yet. Plus community service, bother of which I could start over winter break and probably will. Although community service won't be as difficult, since if I participate in club activities it'll get in a decent amount.

But then I got bored (despite the fact I have a lab report that's barely started due tomorrow morning) and decided to see what the courses are for actual pharmacy school. Wow is all I can say. There's a couple 400 level classes the first year, but other than that it's all 800 level courses. Going to be intense.

My emotions are so mixed up there is no title! Except this one.

So...I have like ten minutes until I leave for my next class. Normally I leave a half hour before class starts, but seats are assigned in my next class so I don't have to worry about getting there early to get a good seat. It sucks, I totally wanted to like come back to the dorm and take a nap, because I wasn't actually awake until around 10:30 today. I woke up at 6:40, because I had chem lab at 8, but I was pretty much just a lifeless capsule for a couple hours. Even then I didn't do much, mostly because I had no clue what the hell I was supposed to be doing. Lab was hard, luckily it's the hardest of the semester. But yeah, my group had no clue what to do so we kind of just BSed it, and now I don't really have a clue what to do on the report. Maybe I'll have someone help me. I didn't get out of there until 11:20, and then I was considering just staying on the main part of campus, but I didn't want to deal with the huge lines in the food court to get lunch, so I biked back to the dorm and barely made it. And I didn't have time to take a nap. I purposely set my alarm today for 6:30 so I could go across the street and get a bagel. But then I thought when I was getting dressed it probably wouldn't be a good idea to try and cross a busy street in my near comatose state. So that didn't happen, so I had to have Pop Tarts and I had to force myself to eat them because I really didn't want them. But then I didn't even finish them, and I was hungry like two hours into lab.

Oh, time seems to be going a bit fast. Well I don't know what else to write because there isn't much going on. My brother introduced me to Nightmare Revisited, which is the Nightmare Before Christmas songs covered by various people/bands. Sally's Song is amazing, but that's because Amy Lee is amazing. Marilyn Manson's cover of This is Halloween is so creepy, but it's awesome. And I don't really like him. Nor do I like Korn, but their cover of Kidnap the Sandy Claws is awesome.

Sallys Song - Amy Lee
