Well, I passed the spring semester with three A’s and one B+. =) Not a bad haul, if I do say so myself.

I registered for my fall classes this evening, taking a bunch of advanced HTML and programming stuff. (Woot!) Good news is that after Fall semester, I’ll only have three classes left to take: e-commerce, speech, and a one week seminar on writing my resume and other junk.

I feel like I did back when I was playing EQ and I had only one bulb left to a level; or maybe when I’m trying to level my favorite team of Final Fantasy characters to a level to take on a tough boss.

I’m tired, but I’m not going to rest until I have it. I want this degree so bad I can taste it.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I’m going to call the college and talk to my advisor about whether or not I could get that 1 week seminar out of the way yet this summer. Finally, I’m going to register at a few internship search sites and see if I can dredge up some contacts around town that are also in Web design / development.

At first I was down thanks to the news that they’re increasing the interest rates on student loans, but after looking at my step plan absolutely nothing could burst this bubble.

Watch out world, here I come!

Come on, $80 textbook: sell already! Jasson wants a paid account. *whine*

I accidently deleted a couple accounts [on lunaescence]. Whoopsie. Maybe if they used at least semi-proper grammar I wouldn’t have made the mistake.

Andrew posted a hilarious view of locker rooms. So true, so hilarious. XD (Very NSFW!)

Yep, I finally decided to try the Sponsored account. I needed more than 6 icons, since I don’t want to ditch my current set just because I downloaded 50 more. The ads are annoying me, though. (See paragraph #1)

My economics textbook went for $55, but I spent almost $30 in Rockford. I finally broke down and bought myself a new teapot and a crapload of tea from Herman’s Boy. I got a pretty large bag of Raspberry tea and a little envelope of this expensive, imported Japanese green tea. (I thought I had its name, but apparently I don’t. It’s not in their catalogue yet either.) I could seriously burn hundreds in that store and drink it all up in nothing flat. XD

Erm… yeah, probably should mention this too whilst I’m being a random whiner. =]P

Hey, guys? Remember way back when on Cyra’s board where we all discussed creating a comic?

Thanks to playing around with Flash, I’m feeling inspired. (That and I keep sleeping until 1pm every morning; I need a reason to get up and stay up.)

So yep, you all get to laugh at my hideous artwork. It’s not going to be in color or anything. And it’s going to be really awful and probably hugely cartoony. Premise is going to be college-life along with some gamer and anime-fan jokes thrown in for good measure. Length of each comic strip is probably going to be no more than 5 panels.

If you want to see a cartoony rendition of yourself or your online persona, reply with a short description. Keep in mind that nothing is going to be that detailed.

Thanks!

Well, as much as I love my Gears layout… I think it’s time to consider a new layout.

While I’m not directly taking Flash this semester, Sally is and I’ve been reading her book. Interesting stuff. I won’t make the whole layout flash, but I just might make some of my buttons and stuff Flash just to see what I can’t do.

Still waiting on word for my financial aid for Summer semester and beyond. I love school, but I’m beginning to get burnt out. At the same time, I really don’t want to give it up even for the summer.

Good luck to everyone having a hard time. It’s looking like this year is sucking for everyone. *hugs*

Money is still tight for us, but I’m doing my damnest not to think about it. Mom got hired in to Kalfact full-time, so no more running down to Alpine Ave. to pick up her paycheck so that should help us on gas. Even so, we have to run back down tomorrow because Forge forgot to print her paycheck for her. As much as we loved having mom for four full days, Memorial Day is going to make this month a little tight too.

I know we probably shouldn’t have, but we passed on renewing our food stamps. After making so many trips down to the FIA to get assistance during the eviction, only to be told that because we were trying to get out of a bad situation, we couldn’t get one iota of help… Yeah. We passed. I’m about ready to try Forge myself and see if they can find me a job, maybe Kalfact with mom so we can carpool.

Finally got around to using the gift card Theresa sent me. Ended up buying sun block and a bunch of little things for the family like shampoo, bandaids, paper towels, and that sort of thing. Due to Sally’s meds, she’s light sensitive so she’s using up all the sun block. For some inane reason, I started doing the same thing. XD At least now, she has her bottle and I have mine. (Yes… It’s MINE! My only…. my preeccious….)

I spent most of this afternoon updating the blogs and the archive. Some of those errors really didn’t want to be fixed. =P I think I’ll break in my latest flavor of caffeine, so maybe I’ll stay up and get the rest of the updates done so maybe Sal will get back to work on the layouts. (So I can get back to the Soi layout for the MB)
