I'm Better Now! For Now...I Guess...Nah, I'll Live

Thu Jul 2, 2009, 7:41 PM

Mood: Optimism
Listening to: Sheena (ToS2 remix), Kuusou Rumba Rap (GSZS)
Reading: Mirrormask: the illustrated film script
Watching: Case Closed, Ouran Host Club, XPlay
Drinking: Water, Iced Tea, Gatorade

blah blah blah failed grade blah blah blah bad luck blah blah blah...I'm done.

I'm doing a lot better now, at least

. My mom wasn't mad (not angry mad, anyway), I'm staying at Drexel (although that will cost my mom more money in the future -_-), and I got a new cell phone this week. Also, I have off tomorrow

!

I'll be taking a career assessment exam next week, too. I feel like Graphic Design is nowhere near what it was in high school - too much by-hand stuff. Anyway, the person I'm to take it from will talk to me about it and help me after I take it. Wish me luck!

Either I'm getting better at speaking or I got lucky this week. I had to do a 5-minute presentation in Psychology on Monday (I signed up for it early so I wouldn't have to worry about it), and I did great. I finished the handout just in time (I even made a diagram for it), I got to use the small podium in the room, and I spoke clearly and loudly enough. My professor said I did great; it was just too short on it's own (he had asked me some questions to increase the time)

. I had left a little bit out because I thought it would be too boring. Anyway, I was able to make it somehow

.

My laptop's not doing so good. The battery's so low, without the charger/adapter it only lasts 13 mins. at full charge. I download nearly everything I fave, so it's filling to the brink - I also blame the youtube videos I download, the anime I can't hear since the sound's busted (it only works with a USB headset), all the mp3s, and the Sims 3 my sister just had to play on my laptop (it's a DVD and only my laptop in the house can play it, but it takes over 6GB on it's own!).
Not to mention it caught a fake Antivirus-type virus while I was surfing on here somehow (it was just DA and a Yahoo tab). I guess it doesn't help that I have many tabs open at once most of the time

. Also, like I said the sound won't work without the headset, and I can't afford one right now. I hate to say it, but maybe I need to get a Mac laptop soon...

...which may not happen because my family might be getting a new computer so my sis can play the Sims 3 -_-.

One of my biggest problems is time. I can never finish something on time, and I can't do it well enough with a deadline, no matter how good my ideas are as I think about it. I'm a huge procrastinator, but it may be my nature (I remember reading that Librans tend to do that). I thought that maybe I should do something weekly as a way of helping with that. Maybe a drawing? Maybe comics? Maybe working on one trade at a time instead of all of them at once, delaying the progress on all of them!? I dunno

....

Can more people PLEASE comment on these!? I'm not looking for popularity, but I'm always out for feedback. I appreciate those who do already ^_^!

Hmm... I feel really bad about your laptop.. My laptop just completely died one day, and I wasn't doing anything strenuous on it either. It really stinks because now I can't use Photoshop or play a game cause there's no way I can download it onto the big computer.. And I'm probably going to lose all of my files too, which sucks.. >> anyways lul.

I'm a big procrastinator as well. I tend to take things slowly, and it works better than just sitting down and doing it all at once. Plus there times when you just want to draw, so I like to use those to my advantage when I can. :3 I guess as long as the requestor knows that it will take a while, and will remind you about it just enough so you don't forget, you should be good. x3

That sounds a lot like my last computer - when it died, I could smell the CRT monitor burning (I think that happened with my last TV, too). You could always pay a computer repair place to extract the files for you - if they're not too personal and you don't mind, that is. Or somehow put the memory from your laptop onto the next one.

I like to do everything at once, just slowly. I had to learn to stop and actually look at my work for a minute in Figure Drawing

. I try to use my random and common bursts of inspiration, but I can't seem to get anything done - there's always something to do no matter where I go. Yea, but if I ever want to freelance, I have to learn to work under a schedule. Thanks for the comment

Well, I'd take the good over the bad any day, lol.

Nah, I don't think you'll jinx yourself. It sounds like you could definitely use some good to come out of all of this. ^_^

I'm doing good. ^^ I haven't been feeling the greatest, but I'm enjoying my summer break, at least. But, it's just kind of flying by. It needs to slow down, or soon my birthday will be here and I'll be even older...

Not fun.

xD you can't smell anything from ours. It gets to the loading screen and then it says it had an error and needs to restart, and then does the same thing again. Hmm, if we had the money, we could do that, I know /I/ don't have anything that's too personal on it. The person would have to be /really/ bored to go and read the stories or roleplays anyways. xD

Mmm, well, it just takes time to get used to a different type of schedule. Once you've gotten used to it, it's pretty easy. :3 And sometimes you just have to threaten your art to come out nicely {lol} .. and you're welcome hun ^^

Yea, and I think that good luck is starting now

! Just tell yourself you're a year.....younger, or smarter

I had that problem once - I think I just took it to the computer people at my school and they ran ScanDisk on it. I wouldn't count on that - never underestimate a bored person

!

Yea, but I think I have to threaten myself to start first

! ^__^
