Oh look! A whole week since I've posted. How shocking~ *sarcasm abounds, here*

Week two of year two of college done and I'm ready to throw in the towel. Oh, but I admit that I'm glad I avoided taking that major English course on top of my legal requirements. That is something to be grateful to myself for. Then again, it's probably just me being lazy that makes me feel this way. Where is that motivation I thought I was going to have~?

WELL IT'S RIGHT HERE! >8D I may complain a whole bunch, but I've been on top of things for a while now, which is completely and totally surprising. I've only forgotten about 1 out of 8 assignments so far, and it was only an itty bitty thing than like... half of the class seemed to have forgotten about. XD So I didn't feel bad about it at all. Well, maybe I did, but I got over it fast.

It's easy to say you're going to change, and I've been doing it for yeeeeears. I'm fed up with it. I'm going to start with this college semester and see where it really takes me.

And finally, one last thing I've been thinking about has finally been decided!

Everyone~ my dear friends~ I got a new livejournal. Maybe unneccessary, maybe silly, but I felt like there were a good number of reasons.

First of all, it will allow me to purge the number of friends who were awesome, but I just fell out of contact with them due to my silliness and now they're just THERE on my list.  Secondly, I say more things than I realize, and it's about time that I have a friends only journal, because I also want to be able to be more open about my life if I want to at any given point. 8D I had other reasons, but I've been thinking about it for a while so some of them are a blur. >_>;; Orite... that user-name, too... I still wonder to this day what I was thinking... or how ignorantly egotistical I was feeling... ^^;;;;;

Anyway! Any of you are free to come add me~ it's now michiichi that I'll be using... eventually, after I've given everyone time to come over to my new journal if they want, this will be purged... it's like burning an old diary... and I like fire. :D *shot*

Ahhhh~ Started clases on Tuesday. It wasn't bad, really. in fact, it was incredibly slow. We didn't do anything yet other than the normal "let's go over the syllabus" talks. Although I did get to do some stuff for my online course already, and I have to say I'm really looking forward to this online course. The virtual campus is quite convenient and everyone seems nice. The tasks aren't difficult and there's enough to be done that it shouldn't be too hard to succeed. And our teacher is quite nice. We also got official school e-mails now too. I haven't set mine up or decided if I'm going to use it, but the fact that we have one in and of itself is really nifty.

Other than all the school preparations and stuff, I've had time to enjoy myself too~ I started watching Revolutionary Girl Utena today on recommendation from all_myarmor. So far I've enjoyed it quite a bit~ <3

I'm considering making my journal friends only too, since I've seen a lot of my friends doing it. Plus I tend to ramble about anything without really thinking about what I'm saying at the time, and whether or not I really want people I don't know reading it. xD;;

Also~ I don't know if anybody would be interested buuuut! I'm working on my icon-making skills. This time I'm working on coloring manga scans for icons. If anyone has any requests, I'd be happy to make some for anyone until they're to your liking~ <333 It would be an excellent chance for me to improve and you know - maybe do something nice for some of my friends who are interested. XD 

It's been too long since I roleplayed, because I am too much in love with the roleplay I'm doing now with Maddie~ *squees and dies* (Hey, the icon seems to fit, too! *shot*)

Ahem. Anyway! Besides all the fluff and sap that's coming from that, I HAVE ALL THE BLEH THAT COMES FROM KNOWING THAT SCHOOL AND THINGS START ON MONDAY. >.<;; Yay? I wonder. But it looks like it'll be a good semester. I know 2 out of 3 of my teachers already and love the two I know. So that's a good start. And I don't have English this semester. And it's already paid for. And IT'S SOON HERE. *dies*

Right. So other than the obvious preparations for school, I have been watching more anime than I have in a while. Like The Wallflower, which is more awesome than I thought it would be. *nods*

And I'm eagerly waiting for the new Kingdom Hearts game that's coming out at the end of September, shortly after my birthday~ *celebrates* *confetti* YAY! So that's something to look forward to, yes. That probably IS going to be my birthday present, and I'm totally good with that idea. 8D And I'm taking my mom to see Fame for her birthday... because her's is the 28th, right five days after mine. XDD <3

My final was a huge success. It looks like I'm actually going to complete a COLLEGE COURSE with a 100%, imagine that! And I thought I'd never be able to turn it around. :D But anyway, as you can tell, I'm super happy about it. But you know, there's another wonderful thing about it. Another wonderful thing that's sitting right next to me right now. For passing with flying colors, I got a little present. Literally a "little" present. But he's oh-so-cute and he's oh-so made my year.

And he's incredibly photogenic. :3

( if it weren't in a LJ-cut, it wouldn't be much of a surprise, now would it? )

Other than that, I went to work yesterday as usual, read some Clover in my spare time, and thought about maybe spending some time writing today since it's been a while since I've done any of that. I have like a week and a half before the fall semester starts... I still have to go sell my old books and buy my new ones. I was going to do it the other day but stupid me - I went too early and the bookstore wasn't open. They cut down hours over the summer a lot. Probably should've checked that out before I wasted all that money going there, but - well, hindsight is perfect, no? XD

And well - since I'm in a good mood, here! Have a link to some art I drew a while ago~ I'm still no good, but it's definitely an improvement. XD - click me -

DUHRR... How impolite of me! I almost forgot to thank everyone who was so nice in wishing me luck! D: D: D:

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥

Okay, so... today's the day! The last day AKA the FINAL for my Tai Chi class. Over the past month or so, we've learned a four - five minute piece of choreography, and today is the day when we'll be performing it all... by ourselves... while everyone sits there quietly and watches you intently. It's extremely nerve-wracking for me, who hates being watched intently while I'm performing by myself - I'm extremely self-conscious and I start shaking and all kinds of unpleasant things.

But I know the moves, so I'm hoping that I can just shove past all those unwanted feelings of nervous-ness and just DO IT. If I do well, I should be looking at getting an A this semester, which would be heaven, and do awesomely wonderful things for my 'average' GPA. >___>

So... wish me luck! I might break down and share the results later when I get them. :3 

Yep, I failed at that meme terribly, but I will still go on! Here, allow me to post for all the days I missed~

- Day 5 -

+ It stormed at work and the lightning was beautiful ♥
+ Work was slow that day

+ My grade in Tai Chi right now is 100%

Also! Happy Belated Birthday to maddie_san !!! ♥♥♥
