as the world falls down

I FINISHED MY PLANT AND MY BUG COLLECTIONS FOR MY ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CLASS.

I have slaved over this project for the past semester and I was very, very, very, very VERY happy to turn it in. 30 bugs and 20 plants is no cakewalk. ;_; I've missed a whole week's worth of Crossing Jordan because of these projects >.<;

Also, I won a $100 Amazon gift certificate.

ANIME HERE I COME. <3


...hoping to get some more fanfiction done in the next few days or so, too... =p

Hah. Anyways, hope you all are doing as well as I am. :D

Oh, got to see Love Actually and part of Troy today, too.

Wewt~

Andddd YUS for House and Bones, season finales this Monday <3

Mwahaha.

is uncool.

Even if it's just silly, cutesy, fluffy, fanfiction, plagiarism is plagiarism and I don't appreciate it.

Yes, apparently someone's been ripping off my 40 Nights: Shinichi and Ran stories, and I'm not the only victim. Details here.

Thanks candy__chan for letting me know, and if there was any doubt in any of your minds, I was the original author behind the Nights...I started it like two years ago, and even if I don't write them that often, I do plan on finishing them.

It doesn't entitle someone to take them.


So yeah, whoever you are...be gutsy and steal from someone who knows your language.


Kay, thanks.

Well, my day started out okay enough, nothing too horrendous. Class as usual and all. Lunch. More class. Etc.

I went to my friend's apartment after that to play Shadow of the Colossus. I had a pretty good time, but I got phone calls from both my mom and my sister about my diabetic dog.

I'm really beginning to worry about him. He can't walk well at all, and on the weekends, I believe I'll be the one giving him his insulin shots/meds/what-have-you. I've never really done such a thing before, so I'm kind of nervous about it.

And I really hope he'll recover. The vets we went to supposedly weren't very helpful, and apparently only discerned the fact that he had diabetes--didn't really do anything about it. Except, I guess, giving us the insulin and charging us a pretty penny.

Which is another thing to think about.

Money is such a pain. Lack thereof, I should say...

*sigh* Oh well. It's a tough spot to be in, but hopefully we all get through it...

Yep, I'm still alive. Haven't updated this thing in a while. I keep trying to update regularly, and it just doesn't work.

O_o Well anyway, Spring semester started last month. Yay school.

I'm taking Calc II, Lab & field techniques for Environmental Science, Philosophy 150: Contemporary Moral Issues, and Cultural Anthropology.

Fun stuff.

Nexus (my oh-so-favorite 2D MMORPG) doesn't seem to want to work at college, and I still have no internet at my new house, so I've just been passing my days reading, writing, drawing, and attending classes.

And listening to music.

I've been thinking about making icons too. I think I need new ones. In fact, I know I do.

Anyway, just checking in.

Oh, and one of my dogs is sick. He's got diabetes. He should be coming home tonight, and he racked up quite a bill. I'm worried about him. I hope he'll be all right.

*sigh*

Well, we'll see...


I also still remember those drabbles I owe everyone from a year or two ago. :P

No, I didn't write this.

( But enjoy. )

^__^ Happy 19th bithday to moi.

*dances*

So, ever since my college semester started, it's been pretty routine for me to go home on the weekends.

My father picks me up Friday (late), and drops me off back on campus Monday morning (EARLY), before work.

Usually, I'd get here anywhere between 8-9am. I have a class at 11am, so I'd sleep until then, setting an alarm to wake me up around 10.45am so I have time to walk to the lecture hall. (Since I'm dressed already, I don't need that much time to get ready; I can just wake up and go.)

Today, I didn't set my alarm; I have a habit of letting my alarm go off until it stops, instead of "snoozing" it, and my roommate doesn't really like the sound of the alarm, so I decided to leave it off.

Big mistake.

I woke up at 11.30am. T_T

Now, of all the days to be majorly late to a class, today was not it: we had a unit exam.

So I ran like my life depended on it (I was sure I was screwed, but I took my chances anyway), and made it in for the last 15 minutes or so of class (ends at 11.50)

Just when I was about to start rambling off my excuses to my professor, he hands me the test with a grin on his face; I dart off to a seat to take it, and he even follows me to make sure I have a pencil.

He ALSO gives me extra time to finish after everyone has left.

Now, this is my first year in college (freshmen for the win!), so I don't really know how it works, but I'm pretty sure if it had been any other professor, I would've been screwed.

So I just wanted to make a post, with my gratitude, dedicated to him and all the other awesome professors who have saved our asses in the past.

If you have any stories similar to this where a professor or teacher has been kind and saved you from disaster (extending a deadline, letting you redo an assignment, make up an assignment, etc), please, do share them!

Yeah, it's been freezing in my dorm all morning, and I just finally found out why.

I went to turn up the thermostat so the AC would turn off for a while, and apparently someone had the temperature all the way down as low as it could go. No joke. I'm still FREEZING but it should get better soon, plus it's warmer outside.

Also, I have been writing--it's just taking a really long time to finish things =P

I'm planning on finishing up the drabble requests that I left off from last February. There're 3 left: I was trying to do them in order but got stuck on one of them. So hopefully now I'll be able to get them done.

Then maybe I'll have people request again. :3

Anyway, I guess that's as far as my life has gotten in the past two weeks.

Hope you're all doing fabulous~

Yeah, so I moved in to college on the 25th of August.
University of Maryland, Baltimore County. (UMBC)

Feel free to stalk me if you wish :P

It's been pretty awesome so far, but I'm only in a temporary dorm...with five other girls. They're great, mind you--actually, we wanted to opt to stay, since we've already made friends with people in our building floor, but they're going to make us move.

I don't know what building I'll be moved to, or who my roommate will be. It might be one of them, or it might be someone completely new.

I'm kind of sad though, because I'm in one of the best buildings on campus. If I get moved to a crappy one, I'll cry :(

But anyway yeah... that's what my life's been like. Haven't been writing much... hoping to change that soon.

Going home on weekends.

Yep. It's all good so far. Classes have started. Not much work yet. I'm sure that'll change real fast.

Hope you're all doing well. :3

Yeah, this past weekend was a biggie. Otakon and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows coming out on the same weekend. It was really a lot of fun.

The convention was fun. I got to meet someone from a game called Nexus that I play, and I hung out with him a lot. I got to see a lot of people I don't normally see, though I did not go stalking voice actors this time. The con was just too big and it was too hard--and no one was there to spazz with me.

Also did a bit of shopping.

- Kodocha DVD 6
- Kodocha DVD 8 (( I already got 7 a while ago, thinking I had 6, but I didn't. ))
- Teen Titans stickers, as well as a bunch of other stuff from Artist's Alley
- an Avatar Calendar for 2008

It was awesome.


The Harry Potter midnight bash wasn't all that great, to be honest. It was way too crowded, took way too long to get my book (I got home at 4am that night), and all in all it was just irritating. If I'd known how it was going to be, I probably would've just ordered it off Amazon. But what's done is done.

I got a spiffy Poster with the book too.

And I just finished reading it a few hours ago. I won't delve into any spoilers, but I'll just say that Snape and Lily are a new favorite couple of mine. <3

Anyway, off to bed I go now. Rather tired, and mum wants me to go on another one of those "walks" tomorrow.

They're kinda boring at times, but they don't take long--and at least it gets me off my lazy ass.

So whatever.

Hopefully I'll be postin' again soon. :P
