College + Winter Holiday + Money
I haven't updated here in awhile!
Nnn. College stuff is so gross right now. I have an essay due Friday that I'm still working on. It's supposed to be 3-5 pages and so far I only have one. I also have a project due next Friday that sounds pretty easy. I just don't want to do it. Is that bad...?
On the plus side, I got a 90% on my Women's Studies midterm~ At least I guess that's a plus, since the class average was 84%. I thought I did better actually... but I only missed 5 so that should be okay! I also took a Japanese placement test yesterday that I felt pretty good about. Since today was a holiday, I have to wait until tomorrow to get my scores for registration on the 20th.
A part of me wishes I did badly so I can take Japanese next quarter, but if not I can just take third quarter in the spring. There's also a Women's Studies class focusing on Queer Theory that I want to take in the spring, and maybe I can throw in a writing class and get those requirements out of the way. I know I want to take Astronomy next quarter as part of my Quantitative & Reasoning requirements (in place of Math at UW) and then I still have to finish 4 Natural World classes. After that, the other requirements relate to my intended major (Japanese) and minors (Japan Studies, Women's Studies).
I really want to talk to an advisor who knows what they're talking about. last time I went in i saw this lady who, honestly, I felt like I was smarter than. I had already looked up the major and minor requirements. What I wanted was someone to help me see how I can work those into my 4 year schedule... not someone to just tell me what the requirements are. I can just google that. Ugh. Hopefully I'll get someone different next time. They still have drop-in advising at the EOP office until the 20th...
WELL college stuff aside, I have other awesome news. I GET TO SO SEE EMU THIS WINTER~ I think that's why I can't concentrate right now. I'm so excited! Mom already bought my ticket so all I have to do is pay her back. So far I've been selling all my stuff to make the cash ($300) but I think after winter quarter starts, I might consider getting a job. That would be a lot faster than waiting for ebay auctions to end...
It doesn't help that I still have to spend money. Went out to the mall today because my only pair of tights ripped and my only pair of white knee-highs tore on the elastic and won't stay up anymore. I bought a pair of black tights because Target had no white. I bought some cute wintery knee-highs that are a little tight but are okay. But the black ones I bought... ugh. They had absolutely no stretch at all. I could barely pull them up around my ankle! They were only $7 but every dollar matters right now! Hopefully I can take them back. If not, I'll try and sell them online too, or maybe convert them into arm-sleeves instead...
But money woes aside, I'm still really excited! I leave on the 14th a few hours after my final exam for Women's Studies, and I'll be gone for 10 days, coming back on Christmas Eve. I know that's cutting it a little close with Christmas, but I don't caaare~
Uhm! Not much else to say. I haven't been able to draw as much lately so my comic has been horribly neglected. I drew one picture and put it on dA but I think all my inactivity has scared off what few watchers I had. Oh well~
And this is random but lol Emu why aren't you online? I wanna get back to the rp and get to AWESOME PLOT already! It's killing me, how long I've been waiting to start that now...

I just went to Green River so I could take classes there hnnn. Only I'm not sure where I'll go after that. I guess I'll be forced to take English 101 and a ghey math class. I know I'll try taking Japanese and Spanish later on, but I just want to take every class ever. %D

Well, you could take a bunch of general graduation requirements and one fun class each quarter? Get all the boring stuff out of the way while you're still fresh from high school.
