Home

On Thursday night, I will be home. In a way, that's nice, I miss home. On another hand, I'll miss my Benny-bean. Ah well, it'll be ten days of relaxation and seeing old friends in any case.
Speaking of Benny-bean, I watched him play Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for six hours yesterday. Isn't that nerdy? I am very amused at the idea, but still, that game is very very interesting.
Today I was walking to campus so as to pick up and drop off a few things. While I was walking down the driveway to the apartments, I realized that for a few seconds, no cars passed by. All that was there was me, the road, the sun, the grass and the sound of my own footsteps, and it reminded me of the favorite part of my day in high school, where I would be walking home with the sun out and a crisp breeze in my face and when I walked by the intersection, I'd always look up at that one old pine which I like so much that is half-dead and choked in kudzu vines. O nostalgia...

Equilibrium

Everyday this week, for some reason or other, I haven't been getting enough sleep. First, Sunday through Tuesday, I had a total of 3 hours of sleep because of the project. Tuesday night itself, I slept only seven hours because of morning errands that needed to be done. Slept only three hours on Wednesday night because of all the homework that I'd been neglecting in the wake of that tidal wave called Studio reviews. And then, Thursday night, I crashed and woke up eight hours later with work still left to do...woops. So I frantically worked all morning, managed to be the only archie in Japanese class, and was still very drained. I can't tell if they liked it or not. Spike referred to my project as having a "dumb language." Thanks very much... My eyebrows definitely quirked up when she said that, and Waz told me that it meant simple. If it meant simple, why'd she call it "dumb?" That has an extremely negative connotation. Still, Art redeemed them all by stopping them and telling everyone that this was exactly what everyone should be trying to achieve composition-wise and all the teachers sort of nodded. So that was nice.
Still, I was quite tired from lack of snoozing for a long time. I usually needed a good 15 hours in a row to be totally recovered from one of those. So after a seven hour sleep last night, I went back to sleep after talking to daddy online and now I feel great, and for the first time in what seems like forever, I feel awake.
O yes, and I'm in such a good mood now that I archived my entire portfolio onto CDs, which I've been putting off since the day I moved back into the apartment.

Off Campus?!

Last night, in a fit of despair that I would have to stay up for yet another hour or two in order to finish homework, I took a little break to see what was on misc market and lo and behold, a house! A really, really good one. $355 a month plus utilities, not even a block away from studio, the would be roomies are all people I at least vaguely know (One I actually worship from afar for her amazing dancing). Can you believe that? I find it very funny that my friends were running all over Oakland to find a place and voila, five minutes and I found a place. I hope we get the place, it'd be very convenient. Downside is that we'd have to start paying rent at the end of this month, which I guess is fine, it'll be like an extra storage area. My alternative would be to stay here and it's going to be $5930 for next year and I would have two strangers for roomies. Sooo, $500 a month to share a bedroom with two people? Or $400 a month for my own room which is just as close to studio?

I Miss That Thing Called...

O to sleep. I miss that thing called sleep. I've been working till the wee hours of the morning, complete with sunup lately because another final project is due. That's what that gorgeous bike's for. O, and so far the project look smashingly gorgeous. It's just so time consuming. And hard to work when sleepy...I sliced off the tip of my finger yesterday. Not really badly as in bleeding everywhere. No blood, I got a nice angle for cutting if I absolutely had to cut myself... Let's just say my nails will no longer have perfect borderlines on the cuticles...*sigh, and that was my best nail too... Ahem, anyway, I'm very sleepy now and must study for my Japanese test.
O and I really feel like chatting with people from home, but no one's ever online...And I haven't sent the library ladies an email in a long time. I believe I shall do that after all the hell is over...

Et voila, five hours on Maya and it's gorgeous!

So this is the original, wait till you see what I did with it.
