Well, my first semester of higher learning is drawing to a close. I've registered for my winter classes and I can feel the tensions of finals rising in my current ones, even though the tests are four or so weeks away.

Next week my Chinese class is going to some sit-down place to order in the native language. Then we have to write a paper on the experience. With my luck I'll order something either A) nasty, or B) water. To tell the truth, I don't know water in Chinese yet. I know how to ask for a cup of tea though! I'll do that!

In my oral communications class (COM), we were assigned group projects. My team decided to make a gameshow, which we filmed last week and I edited up to fit the criteria. I haven't shown my team the rough copy yet, but I will in the morning. If you're interested, it's on Youtube. Comment for a link.

Geology is winding up. Soon the spring will release and all the tension will be gone. I've learned quite a bit in that class, but nothing I can use in everyday life.

Applied Psychology has been pretty fun. I've learned a lot of things that apply to my every day life, hence the name of the class. After so many weeks of the class I've been able to better understand that there is indeed something wrong with my thinking patterns. The next time I go into the doctor I'll be talking to her about various things. I'll update you later.

And then there is Computer Information and Systems (CIS). My best subject. My worst class. This class is online for me... So I've doing horrible in it. I fail most of my tests... Luckily I have a B or something, so I'm not too afraid of failing, but there is always that possibility.

Next semester includes a few more basic classes: English 101 (I am required to take 101 and one higher class, but I tested out of the higher class because of passing my AP English test. Win), Math 109 (this is applied college algebra. I only need four credits of math for my entire four years, and this class meets that bill. Win.), philosophy (I don't know what to expect from this class, but it is going toward a humanities credit, so I don't care), and I also joined the college youth symphony. I have yet to audition for this, but I've got no worries about getting in. A friend plays bassoon in the YS and says that they are in dire need of flutes. Now, granted, I hate the flute, but I have six years of experience in it. I don't want to tute my own flute or anything, but I'm pretty good. There's also the possibility that I will take aerobics for my PE class, but right now I am waitlisted, so we shall see.

I feel like I'm forgetting a class... But you don't care, so moving on!

My World of Warcraft addiction is in full swing. Unfortunately, my playing partner has been experiencing some horrible, horrible internet lag. He can't watch Youtube videos or keep up with the server when we play, so I've created an alt and have been leveling, questing and mostly dying, on my own.

I realize that I haven't put much art up lately... so I swear I'm working on something big. I'll just... start it tomorrow. I know what I want to draw, it's just a matter of convincing myself that it's good enough.

If you want doodles... just look at my Chinese textbook. Zippy () and Adam grace nearly every page! I should really pay attention to laoshi (Pinyin for Teacher), but I just can't. Two and a half hours is just too long...

OH! I remember what class I was forgetting for next semester! Television Productions! It's a four hour class (boo) that I learn how to work behind the scenes and in front of a camera. It's going to be GREAT and it's a big part of my degree. I even think it's a 212 class or something. Win.
