| I am the worst |
| 08.26.05 (3:08 pm) [edit] |
It has been a hellacious day which one or two things go horribly wrong and other little thing that goes on is intensified; this is the day I was driven back into therapy for reasons I should have last semester.
I feel so stupid. inept. How did I get lost when I followed the same map as everyone else? I now have the concrete evidence I sought that I was the worst student in a class I had last year. Now everyone who was in that class knows it, everyone in my current class knows it now too. I came home and I cried.
Today probably should be topped off with barley therapy, but instead will lead to a trip to the midnight theater to see one of, if not my most, favoritist movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark. (I should definetely see about getting that theme song as a ringtone).
I just want to...I don't know...
PS. I'm very glad Jeremy is here, even if he did give me his cold.

| A lot of stuff is said here. |
| 08.25.05 (4:18 pm) [edit] |
I have Thursdays off this semester for some reason. Because I didn't leave my apartment today until 2 or 3 hours later than I have been lately, it feels about 3 hours earlier than it actually is.
After much struggling with the install wizard this morning afternoon, including 6 reboots and two phone calls, I have internet. :D
I still do not have a bed, however. I think I should make my dad spend the night here on the floor tonight; if it were him not having getting to sleep on a bed or even a matress, I'll bet the issue would have been resolved by now. The most frustrating part about it is I can't do anything decorative or setting up in my room because nothing is where it is ultimately going to be.
I have an interview for the place I linked to in about an hour, the one whose ethics I was questioning. I've decided to think of that place as a headshop; it's not the store's business what people do with those pretty vases and tobacco pipes, and it's not Blush's business how their product encourages girls to fit into predetermined gender stereotypes (although, I think I would rather get a store discount on a Led Zeppelin t-shirt than a tube of lip gloss).
I have no art supplies. How did this happen? I must have 12 tubes of acrylic, none of the exact colors are on the list. I don't seem to have any tape, and if I ever had a ruler, it's nowhere to be seen. This is frustrating because I want to start my homework, but am definetely not making the trip to the art store tonight.
Only 2/6 of my classes meet more than once a week.
One class will be a time-eating hell requiring about 3 hours a day, 7 days a week. At least I won't have to screw with unnecessary classes anymore.
Another isn't too specific about outside work, but I will be using power tools. I have a class tomorrow. There is an advanced section and a beginning, although they are both the same name. Last semester, I was one of the worst students in the class. But I think I improved a lot over the summer going to the zoo and stuff (Jeremy and I are supposed to do that one of these days). So I don't know where I'll be. If it wasn't for all the beginner homework, I would probably rather be a big fish in a small pond. But I don't know if I can beniefit from lectures (and jokes) I have already heard.
This brings me to another point. Yesterday before class, a bunch of kids from the class that preceeds the current one were playing hacky sack. I wanted to go over and be with them, but I couldn't. For one thing, I felt like a lot of them had all bonded during their all-nighter sessions during The Project From Hell. So I felt like I wasn't one of them. I also felt like I couldn't hang out with them because I was paralyzed by my plausible misperception that they were 10X better than me at art. (Yes, but do they know what it means to white balance a camera, or have they ever even heard of ProTools?) This is especially considering some of them went to LA to study for a week or two. I would have too, but I was having a different learning experience at the WB. I guess I've got to look at it that way. I know things they'll never know...
but it still doesn't change the fact that I felt crippled to even talk to them simply because I thought they were far superior to me.
Jeremy and I are going to see Raiders of the Lost Ark at the midnight theater tomorrow! He's never seen it before. I hope he likes it. He doesn't like very many movies.
The class I am probably most excited about this semester is probably my production class, which I will have Monday night.
I have poster frames! I brought my best, most favorite posters with me. Right now, I have frames for:
  
My mom commented about how cheery Haunted Mansion and Nightmare Before Christmas will make the place. :roll:
I guess I've gotta get dressed for this interview deelie. I noticed everyone there is cute. I've guess I've gotta look cute too.
Current Mood: warm

| A quick one |
| 08.23.05 (9:52 am) [edit] |
(This keyboard sucks)
I am mostly moved into my apartment.
However, I am currently without a bed, cable or internet (right now, I am at the Pearl Public Lib). OtherwiseI (and Jeremy) am very happy to be in my apartment.
I can't believe school is starting tomorrow.
I lost my keys on the light rail yesterday. Fortunately, I had just made copies of my apartment key the night before thatI had on me, and was ableto ride my bike (the cause of the lost keys) from the station to the apartment and wait for Jeremyto bring my dad's spare key to my car.
Jeremy and I saw The 40-Year-Old Virgin last night. It was funny.
What else?
I applied for a job at this place: http://www.blushjust4fun.com/... which seems to be a combination of a Claire's and a TCBY. My initial thought was "Oh, they're hiring, good." My second thought was, "This is an unethical place that encourages girls to live up to gender stereotypes. What tod you think.
Must go!

| The ends of things |

My blog has been viewed 23700 times!
I am officially out of dorms forever. I signed papers for my apartment yesterday. and I don't have to move in until a week from Saurday. This will give me enough time to go through shit in my room and get rid of crap I forgot existed and figure out which posters go on the walls (very important). I'm thinking it's time my Haunted Mansion poster got a good home.
Everyone I have talked to or heard from thinks my dad is being a wanker about this Jeremy-and-I-officially-l iving-together crap. Oh well. (Actually, no one has used the word "wanker." Why that phrase hasn't caught on in this country I'll never know. It's a better word than hoser).
I had my last day of internship on Wednesday. It was kinda sad. I'll miss it. I liked going there. It made me feel useful. The commute never bothered me. I never hated going there (unlike Disney World). I rarely wished I didn't have to. I learned a lot. I will put a notice out on the RTVF mailing list for anyone who is interested or can commute to SF to send the supervisor their resume.
I know they will miss me. They bought me a cake for my last day. Nothing brings people out of their cubicles (or editing suites) like free food.
I turned in the last of my reports and everything else for the end of my internship. My gave me a glowing final report.
Thank God! No one has thought (yet) to make I Dream of Jeanie into a movie. If I had lots of money, I would buy the film rights to TV shows just to prevent them from being made into movies.
 I have been mentally working through a project (among the many dying to get out including the Don't Fence Me In video) starring this guy (rather than just some 3 second experiment to make him walk) exactly as he is; no clothes, no face, 12" tall, who has to go out and get something somehow. But what is his And I think I figured it out. He somehow gets unwillingly drafted into hosting a party, for which he must go out into the big scary world and aquire what he needs.
This is actually the first project I wanted to work on for the project we had to do for my writing class when I somehow got stuck with two other people who were a little more... mentally and creatively restrictive. They whined, "Wah! It's too compwicaded! It makes my witto head huut. I don wanna try somethin potenshowy decent! I wanna do somethin easy!"
Well, hopefully my next production class won't have partnered assignments.
Fargo is going to be on less than a half hour!
Current Mood: pretty good

| Last day internship |
| 08.10.05 (5:45 am) [edit] |
I have decided Halloween season needs to get here.
I hope Jeremy gets a job soon.
I can't believe today is my last day at the internship. I will miss it and I think they will miss me.
I will go to the cemetary where my mom's dad is burried after and put flowers on his grave (which sadly, no one does anymore).
Right now, I need to be writing a report on the internship experience.
I went to the zoo to draw one last time before summer's over too.
In theory, I am supposed to move into my apartment today and give them a shitloada money. However, since I don't really want to occupy for another two weeks, and my dad wasn't even planning on coming today, I hope that is not true.
Jeremy and I saw Bewitched at the Cinnema Saver last night for the last night it is going to be open in that spot. Since it was Tuesday we saw it for $1.50 each; cheapest I've ever seen a movie. I hope when it opens in the new spot the prices don't go up. But they probably will.
Jeremy broke the D on my computer.
Current Mood: hungry and kinda tired

| Apartment Update |
| 08.07.05 (1:39 pm) [edit] |
Well, I thought my dad and I were actually going to do some apartment shopping. But upon driving by the three apartments I was considering, my dad immediately dismissed the one three blocks off campus, and one that was similar, but cheaper, by where I went to preschool. He only liked the neighborhood of the more expensive, nicer, more secluded, air conditioned, porched, pooled, fountained one in my old zip code. So I am very excited about that. :D
I am being forced to get a job. It is not that I don't want a job. It's that now that the art program is getting more intense, and teachers are forewarning, "Don't get some minimum wage job now. Work on the art now and you will make up for it later in life" I am...apprehensive. (My parents don't care about that). The idea I guess it my parents aren't going to pay for fun stuff anymore. (That is acceptable). So, get no job, have no fun. Get a job, have no time for fun anyway. Get a job, have job/school into whatever fun time there would be.
So plan is either to get a job at a temporary Halloween store, or get a job at ungodly hours of the night or evening when I would have (in most cases) been sleeping anyway.
I wonder if Costco sells Amps. Oh, lucky giraffes.
PS I would like to go on record to say I'm not against having a job, or spending my parents money. I would really like to have a job. I am just not sure how well it's all going to work out. :?
I would also like to say that I do not appreciate people telling me how hard I have or have not sought employment in the past. :x
I guess I won't be going to the gym this semester either. Which is a pity because Jeremy, Mike and I went to the waterpark last night, and after standing around looking at all the beautiful bikinied girls it made me incredibly self-conscious in the bathing suit with the "flattering" skirty thing on the front.
And before job shit hit the fan, Kelly got pissy with me when I told her I didn't have time to take jazz dance lessons of all pointless wasteful things. Plus I think I pissed her off when I asked if I could be the girl.

| Apartment Shopping |
| 08.05.05 (7:45 am) [edit] |
My parents are being buttheads. My dad can't make time to go with me to places, yet he wants me to keep looking, but make a decision by this evening, I guess. We drove by the apartments I was considering and found something wrong with all of them. My mom is afraid of dealing with people in any way shape or form for some reason and she refuses to come down and shop with me. So it's been great fun here.
Current Mood: frustrated and stressed

I wish it were 5 years into the future. Then there would be no job insecurities, no lies, no school to get through, no worrying about school, everything would be good and established.

| 08.03.05 (5:18 pm) [edit] |
Jeremy pointed out that I have yet to update my journal in awhile. So here it is.
The Federal Communications Commission is billing me $22 for a report I never ordered. Which means now I get to attempt to deal with that cuh-rap. I'm not betting I can get them to call off the debt. Bastards. :X
My internship teacher has yet to acknowledge that i sent in my latest assignment.
And last night Jeremy and I went to 65 cent night at the Boardwalk; all rides, hot dogs, soda, cotton candy were 65 cents. It was great fun.
And I have been looking for an apartment. They all look the same and all have the same things going for them.
Current Mood: hungry and blah
