Sorry... Again.

Sorry I haven't posted recently it's just I FINALLY have free time again, so I decided that I would use it for stuff other than writing on the blog. I took the AP Government test, which I think went really well, like better than I expected. I probably got a 4 or 5.... I got an A on my graphic design final, which I turned in almost a week late, so I still have a high in that class. The only thing I really have to worry about now it just, doing my homework, and passing my chemistry class. I should be fine.

I finished watching the entire Rurouni Kenshin anime and the two OVAs. It only took me two months... The first two seasons of the anime brought back serious nostalgia, but the third season was sorta... well... not really that great. The last story arc was really stupid and it sorta had a "Whoops we ran outta paper, guess we have to end the series" ending. The first OVA, Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, was AMAZING. It was so beyond sad, and was exactly like the story was in the manga. I seriously wanted to cry. The second OVA though, Samurai X: Reflections, sorta irked me. It really jumped away from the original plot, like in totally random ways. It felt like I was watching an animated fan fiction of what a crazy, angsty, Kenshin x Kaoru fan would've wanted the series to be like. Kaoru was too well, understanding of how Kenshin was still in love with Tomoe and his unsatiable need to wander. Plus Sano was randomly in China... I mean what the heck?

Whatever though. I spent about 10 hours yesterday clearing out and refilling my Zunebabeh. Because of the settings I had, there were lots of double songs taking up priceless space, so I copied all the music I could, then wiped it. I also associated album art to EVERYTHING. So it actually looks like I bought the music, which I did. It was just the old software wouldn't let you change album information (it does now, which is part of the reason why I chose to do this yesterday) so whenever I took music from iTunes, wrote it onto a CD and put it on my laptop again, it associated it all on one CD, even if it was a bunch of completely unrelated songs. That pissed me off so I had to fix it. And I did. I even made album art for the songs that they didn't have album covers for.

Another positive of my life cooling off is that I've had time to go out with my friends, and not be studying. I went and saw Iron Man again (I had already seen it with my parentals the saturday it came out) and it was even more epically awesome, plus I got to see it with a bunch of my besties, which made it even more fun. It was the most incredible movie experience EVER. First of all we showed up 10 minutes before the movie started. Turns out it was a sold at show. There were four of us so we split up to find seats. My friend Ali and I went one way while Stephanie and Angela went another. Angela and Stephanie found primo seats together two rows from the top, a little to the left of the center. Then, the couple next to them moved and we got to all sit together. Dead center. Third to top row. In an entirely digital theater. It. was. AWESOME. Now I'm on a mad hunt to find a Iron Man poster to put on my door.

Oh, just a random little thing before I go, after the movies we went to Border's to wait for my mom. I went through magazines and I found the duPont Registry for the Exotic Car buyer. Now, I always have had a serious car fetish. I LOVE foriegn, expensive, FAST cars (i.e. Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, the usual). It's my life goal to make enough money so I can buy MULTIPLE expensive sports cars. I knew that the magazine would be fun to look at and maybe I could cut pictures out or whateber, but what I wasn't expecting was that there'd be ads for PRIVATE JETS. Like, to buy one... or for "Model Matchmaking for Serious Affluent Men". All I could think was "Woahh... I wanna make enough money to shop for private jets in a magazine..."

Sorry...

Sorry, to anyone who actually reads this, that I haven't posted recently. I've just been really stressed. Since tennis started, it's like the heavens opened up and let down more rain than we've seen ALL YEAR. Because of this misfortune, several matches have been postponed, until, the last two weeks. I've gone to around ten matches in the past two weeks, which combined with tennis practice and Mr. Morris blowing a gasket with the AP test coming up, I've been completely swamped. I'm stressed beyond recognition.

Good news though, is that I got into National Honors Society. Along with that, I just realized (because out of school I'm completely slow) that one of my main competitors for valedictorian (not my only competitor, but the most threatening) will be graduating next year instead of in 2010, which means she won't be in my class. I have no idea why she wants to do that, but, whatever. She obviously has a plan.

I also won my mixed doubles match in tennis today. My and my partner Jordan won 6-0, 6-0. It really isn't that impressive, since the people we were playing had only been playing for four weeks. They did really good, considering. The guy had a WICKED fast serve.

But on the outside of all this school stuff, I really wish I had more free time to start doing some crafty stuff. I wanna make a cool cover for my USB drive, a speaker pillow, and start practicing sewing so I can make a costume for Otakon in August.

Beyond that, I have two graphic design projects due in a reasonably short period of time, an enormously hard AP test that I have to study my sorry butt off for, and a completely time consuming sport that is exhausting. I cannot wait for summer, but oh, wait, I'm gonna have to work my butt off all summer so I can afford a car. Whoopdee do.
