Beware of your mind as it proves you wrong

Angry Sparkles

So. In case anyone was curious about the post earlier today.

Because, y'know, I'm sure you all were.

Registration did not go as planned, to put it nicely.

For one, I crashed out at two and got up at 7:15 in order to be logged on for my 7:30 registration time, so that's already. Y'know. Awesome.

The way things have worked out for me over these past four years, the only class I'm required to take is my Senior Seminar - basically, my thesis class. I'd been working on buinding a 12-unit schedule around that, leaving Tuesdays and Fridays free for an internship and trying to leave some afternoons so I could still work the writing center and campus operator. I'd gotten a schedule worked out so I could do all that.

This morning, when I tried to register for classes, I couldn't get into my thesis class. The system said I hadn't "fulfilled all prerequisites," namely because I'm still taking Lit Theory and my transcript was counting it as in progress, not complete. That was a lovely sleep-deprived call to OneStop, only to be told to email OneStop instead. Okay. Sure. Time for a runaround.

It was only when I got the email back from OneStop saying my thesis class conflicted with one of the classes I'd already registered for that I realized they'd changed the date and time of my thesis class.

Okay, no problem. Instead of doing a one-unit class on Monday, I'll find one on Thursday night. No big deal.

According to the class schedule, there aren't any. Okay. Maybe I can fall back on that other class I registered for-

Except the time of that class has also changed, so it clashes with another class I'd already wanted to take. My carefully crafted class schedule has just become a giant clusterfuck.

So on five hours of sleep, I spent the entire day either working at the writing center (and getting snapped at by a girl when I told her to quit texting while I was helping her with her paper) or scouring the class catalog trying to find classes that would actually mesh with the schedule I was trying to build. The former worked alright. The latter was utterly unsuccessful.

So basically, after a fantastic lack of sleep and goodness knows how much frustration, I finally called off tutoring early and headed to One Stop. I gave the counselor the abbreviated version of my woes, he pulled up my schedule, looked at me, and said, "You know you can be a part-time student, right?"

...what.

Evidently my scholarship will still be intact (it'll still pay for half of tuition, even if it's by unit instead of a flat rate). I'm not sure if part-time students can keep housing or how many credit hours I need to stay on my insurance policy, but going part time means no more schedule woes and more time to focus on jobs, graduate schools, and internships. It's an entire realm of possibility that I'd never considered - I thought I had to be a full-time student all four years to keep my scholarship.

I made it five steps out of the registrar's office before I started crying.

I made it to the fountain before I stopped and called my mom. I think this was possibly the biggest I have no idea what the hell I'm doing moment I have ever had.

I'm waiting for a reply from the housing office and I need to call my insurance provider tomorrow, but I think I might go part-time next semester. It'd sure make life a lot easier.

In the meantime, I have four more hours of work to get through and a whole lot of sleep to catch up on after that.

Any time you want to make things easy on me, Life, I'd sure appreciate it. |Db

I got up two hours early for this?

ANON MEME

Yes, this is what I do with my homework breaks. Good times, huh.

DANCE BREAK

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:15:17 GMT

More of a homework break, actually, but who's counting.

I've gotten some assignments done today, but that Structuralism paper's still hanging over my head. I don't know why I'm having so many issues getting into it. I was kind of hoping to have it done early this afternoon, but considering I didn't wake up until noon (which was lovely) and wasn't really functional until two, that plan went to waste. I'd like to have it done before I leave for my friend's party at nine, but again, odds of that are pretty poor. I might just marathon the sucker Sunday night. My usual MO works, right? |D

That said! Book meme real fast! Then I do dinner and attempt to pound out some words. Grr.

Ganked from atrypical:

- Take four books off your bookshelf.
- Write the first sentence
- Write the last sentence on page fifty
- Write the second sentence on page one hundred
- Write the next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
- Write the final sentence of the book
- Let your friends guess what book it is.

BOOK ONE: His Majesty's Dragon, guessed by ormery

1) The deck of the French ship was slippery with blood, heaving in the choppy sea; a stroke might as easily bring down the man making it as the intended target.
2) "There are not so many fine frigates out there."
3) Having made this coarse remark, McKinnon belatedly recalled his company; he glanced over his shoulder in some embarrassment to see if any of the ladies had overheard, and dropped the subject.
4) "Are you not feeling well?" Laurence asked, inspecting his jaws, but Temeraire was bloodstained and messy from his meal, and looked to have eaten well.
5) In his heard he shared the simplicity of Temeraire's view of the matter, and he fell asleep almost at once in the security of the slow, deep rushing of Temeraire's heartbeat, so very much like the endless sound of the sea.

BOOK TWO: The Handmaid's Tale, guessed by ormery

1) We slept in what had once been the gymnasium.
2) I would always get there first, check in.
3) You can wet the rim of a glass and run your finger around the rim and it will make a sound.
4) I was sitting in the chair.
5) Are there any questions?

BOOK THREE

1) "Mutant Wizards," I said.
2) August isn't a month when you want to spend much time outdoors in Virginia.
3) Unless, of course, you wanted to cause Mutant Wizards the kind of problems that would result from a missed deadline on the new game.
4) Did she think I was so unbalanced that she'd need to make a run for it?
5) "We have a plane to catch."

BOOK FOUR: Reaper Man, guessed by ormery

1) The Morris dance is common to all inhabited worlds in the multiverse.
2) "Could have killed me," he muttered, tossing it away.
3) This is important.
4) And yet they did, and even seemed to find enjoyment in it, when surely the only sensible course would be to despair.
5) And at the end of all stories Azrael, who knew the secret, thought: I REMEMBER WHEN ALL THIS WILL BE AGAIN.

Wow, these all wound up much more obscure than I expected. XD

Roleplay Love Meme

The How's My Driving? Meme

Double whammy. Why not?

The icon is my concession to the date

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:26:13 GMT

I generally go too far between serious updates - or at least updates with some modicum of content - on this journal, don't I. Good job, self. |D

Either way, you're getting one, and I warn you it is long and image heavy in spots.

First of all, because I feel like I have to say this, I've found something awesome: this guy. I know, doesn't look like something I'd listen to, right? Well, listen to his Nocturnal Sunshine podcast (you can get it free on iTunes) - every episode is an hour of steady, repetitive, easily ignorable techno best classified as upscale background noise. This is to say, I've found the best homework music ever. XD

Don't tell my brother. He actually went to see this guy when he came to Denver this summer. My brother would disown me. Then again, we only just convinced said brother to come to Hawaii with the family instead of spending New Year's with his girlfriend, whom nobody likes, so...yeah. YAY FAMILY.

Said girlfriend just tried to friend me on Facebook. That's just a whole new definition of awkward.

But yes. Other stuff. Halloween is other stuff, right?

Actually, Halloween started for me the day before. Disneyland doesn't allow costumes, so I wore mine around campus on Friday.

NAME THAT SECRET GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION

Actually, the best part of this costume was walking into anime club and having one of the members go, "Are you an Elite Beat Agent?"

Ladies and gentlemen, I have found the sole other member of the student body who has any idea what this game is. We are so battling each other. XD

OBJECTION! Ironically, also the best picture of my costume, IMO.

...this was totally my roomie's idea.

HEY DO YOU WANNA SEE THE PUMPKINS? 8D

Totally wasn't going for a theme this year or anything.

Roomie's was originally a scarface, but...

It makes a much better Oogie Boogie.

CRAZY VILLAIN PUMPKINS GO

Of course, the next day we picked up lynxgriffin and headed down to Disneyland. I am now the proud owner of an annual pass and plan to overdose on Disney as much as humanly possible. Strangely enough, lines were much shorter on Halloween than they were the week before. Guess most people went the week before and spent Halloween day in costume, trick-or-treating?

Speaking of costumes, when we stopped to get lunch, we saw two people dressed as Androids 17 and 18 from DBZ, Red Ribbon Army logos and everything. In the middle of Disneyland. That takes some serious chutzpah, and I am so sad I did not get pictures. |D

I did get a different picture, though:

Roomie in the front, Lynx and I right behind in our Organization shirts. Hell yeah we're awesome.

Oddly enough, when we sat down for Fantasmic, those shirts got recognized. Can't say I was expecting fellow KH fans in the park, but it was pretty cool. Of course, my roomie squeed herself silly during the fireworks show - she's the biggest Nightmare Before Christmas fangirl I've ever seen, and the entire show is TNBC themed. Dinner at a pizzaria topped things off and life was good. Yay Halloween. :D

Of course, then Sunday night was juuuuuust fantastic. I'm never getting the chicken salad sandwich at the Cheesecake Factory again, I can tell you that much. (I will still, however, get their cheesecake. That is not what made me ill.)

The rest of this week has basically just been recovery. We did a Randomizer show, but the recording equipment was busted and I therefore have no episode for you guys this week. Sad. :( I'm also supposed to have written a paper on Sunday night, but that did not happen. Paper is still not written and might not get written until Saturday because I am just bushed. I also have an interview with Dex tomorrow - evidently they still want me, so I'm heading out there, trying to sound intelligent, and praying this goes through because paid internships are incredibly few and far between. It would be a nice feather in my cap for next semester. Wish me some good luck for that one. |D

I LEAVE YOU WITH ONE FINAL PICTURE:

The girl in the middle? That's my little. She's dressed as Kaylee.

My little is a Browncoat (and you'd better believe we're converting her twin). I could not be more pleased. :3

So this was fun

GUESS WHERE KIA SPENT THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT

If you guessed "the hospital," you are CORRECT, SIR

Yeah, so food poisoning is just a barrel of laughs, I tell you what.

...I got better. I am taking it easy today and likely tomorrow, though.

I really need to update my journal for more than six sentences, huh

So. Uh. That career fair I went to last week? I just got a call from one of the companies there. The guy in charge wants me to come in to interview for an internship.

It's in Camarillo, so I need to figure out a day I have free time and can get a ride from someone (or figure out "really good public transportation" as my mom suggested, though I told her that "really good public transportation" and "California" are mutually exclusive)...probably Tuesday or Friday of next week...

WHAT A WEEEEEEEEEK

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:49:23 GMT

Wow I really don't update this journal as often as I should, huh. How about a week's worth of stuff in one entry? |D

First of all, Big/Little reveal was awesome. Just awesome. I absolutely love my twins.

Look at us in our sexy matching socks. :Db

That was how we had to do reveal, actually. We used to get a spool of string, tie one end to a tree, and wrap it all over the park and around things. They'd follow the string and come back to a bag of gifts with their name on it and their big waiting there. Evidently Pepperdine counts this as hazing (...um, okay) so we did matching socks and trivia instead. EITHER WAY. AWESOME LITTLES. Totally going to spoil them. It's family tradition. :Db

So far as Derby Days go, I did not get a derby. I am not surprised. I suppose you can call this a perfect streak. XD It also means I'm redoubling my efforts to get Dad's fedora.

Thursday was absolutely nuts, of course. Went down to the career fair, gave my resume to a bunch of companies who will probably never look at it again, and got a few brochures that interest me and a ton that don't. Bloomberg and Roll International (the guys that do Fiji water and POM) are the two that I've got my eye on here. Either way, I need to start looking into job websites again and make an appointment with my advisor to explore grad school options. Not my first choice, but with the economy the way it is... Ah, well, such is life. \O_o/

Then was the Lit Theory midterm, which I flipped out studying for the night before (to the tune of MY NOTES ARE INCOMPLETE DESPITE THE FACT I'VE BEEN TO EVERY CLASS AAAAAAAA). Believe it or not, the midterm wasn't too bad. I had all the theories down pat - it was matching theorists to theories that killed me. I'm hoping for a B, but we'll see.

My roomie and I went to see Guys and Dolls that night. I had forgotten just how much I loved that show until I went to see it again. The choreo was disappointingly simple, IMO, with the exception of the Crapshooter's Dance. Oh, the Crapshooter's Dance. I love that show so much X3 We'll probably go back to that theater for another show at some point, or we'll find other theaters. We've both missed live performance like you would not believe.

...I can honestly not remember what I did Friday. I'm sure class and anime club were involved somewhere, but that day just blurred, I think.

Yesterday I went with my twins and one of their roomies to Disneyland. When they called it the happiest place on Earth, they were not kidding. It looks awesome decked out for Halloween, and Haunted Mansion done Nightmare Before Christmas style was well worth seeing. I also discovered the hard way that one needs to arrive very early in the park to get fastpasses for Space Mountain, or one will be waiting for two hours otherwise to ride it. I'm sure the people in line around us were ready to kill the four of us by the time we got there, but we passed the time without going crazyier.

As you can see, totally worth it. My apologies to whoever was in the seat behind me - I did not mean for my expression of glee to cover your face. Hope you didn't want to buy that picture. |D I have also discovered that my twins are just as derptastic as I am, evinced by this:

"Hey, let's imitate the facial expressions!" "Sure!" Guys why do you go along with me I am a head case you all know this. Made a great picture, though. XD

I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS:

Nothing should be that cute, honestly. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO BECAUSE I AM A DERP:

The subject has nothing to do with the content, really. It's just been a very long time since I've used it.

So yes. I've been telling everyone that my weekend's going to be shot for quite a while now, and there's a good reason why: it's Family Weekend, Blue and Orange Madness, and Spirit Cup all in one these next few days, and I have three different organizations vying for my attention. So I have:

FRIDAY:

Stage Dance 10-12
Parent Check-In 3-5 (Doug asked all the NSO leaders to volunteer to help this weekend, so I signed up)
Hanging with younger siblings of students 5-7 (Again, NSO - pulling double here since nobody signed up for this shift)
Blue and Orange Madness/Spirit Cup 7-9 (Sorority, mostly - supporting our booth and our team in the lip sync competition, and maybe taking a few minutes to go mess around in the Village, get some In N Out...stuff)
Sleepover at Gamma Phi house 9-on

SATURDAY:

Camp Laurel Ride-a-thon 5-4 (Camp Laurel is Gamma Phi's philanthropy, and they're doing a fundraiser of their own in Santa Monica, so we're heading down to go help them. Yes, that is five a.m. to four p.m.)
Choir concert for Parents' Banquet 5:45-7
PIT Show 8:30-10:30

SUNDAY:

Mass 10:30-11:30
Scholarship Tea 2:30-3:30
Chapter 7-8

Somewhere in here I need to read a play and write a paper. This weekend's gonna be nuts. |D

RANDOMIZER: EPISODE 14

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:06:59 GMT

So it occurred to me last week (only after aviekokyre brought it up) that a lot of my newer flisters have no idea what the Ranomizer is. Basically, it's a weekly hour-long radio show that my roomie and I put on. We broadcast live, record the show, and put it online for y'all to listen to.

We're actually doing a new theme this coming week, something we haven't tried before: a Listener Request Week. Basically, listen to the show and leave a comment here with a song or two you'd like us to play next week. They do have to be entirely clean (we can't even say "hell") and content-appropriate, and we prefer songs that are around or below the four-minute mark, simply because we like to play lots of music and we don't have lots of time.

So yes! The episode is here: leave us a request, and as always,

Endgame fic, first of three(?)

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:43:30 GMT

I finally bit the bullet and wrote endgame fic for DC. Probably not a good thing to do at two in the morning, but eh, I'll sleep on the plane. |Db

This one's for Foxx - I have another one planned out for her that requires a lot more thought on my part, and one for J as well. But for now...yes. The Diva is crazy like her namesake.

~~*~~

Foxx was not a believer in what she called "emotional displays." It was a result of her self-control and the reason she had perfected her poker face, used so often it had become her default expression. Foxx much preferred the calm and the subtle.

Had anyone who knew her been able to see her at this moment, they would likely be understandably surprised to see the look of deep and utter fury marring her face.

That was the problem. Nobody she knew was there. Foxx had insisted on being the one to run the DRT when the rest of the Agency was sent home. She'd made a joke about knowing it would be "done right" that way, and it was mostly true. She knew the CFP technicians were capable; she also knew they weren't as capable as she. Facts of life.

It was only after she'd entered the sequence to send Chieftain, who had insisted upon being the last to go, back home and watched him disappear that the CFP agent approached her. "I'm sorry, miss," he started, flashing his badge at her with a sympathetically fake smile that immediately put her ill at ease, "but before we let you go we'll have to look over your laptop."

For a split second, she simply stared at the man in openmouthed shock. They wanted to look through her laptop. Her files. Her data. They wanted a look. "What?" was all she could finally manage, her grip on the small computer tightening reflexively.

"It's protocol," he explained in a patronizing tone that made her teeth ache. Evidently he couldn't look past the Diva uniform she wore - probably didn't even know what it was. "You see, your computer was hooked up to the DRT, and we need to make sure nothing was transferred. You understand."

She understood perfectly, and if he didn't wipe that smile off his face in the next minute she would likely beat it off of him. "Are you telling me," she demanded, pulling her badge from her pocket and whipping it open more than long enough for him to get a good look, "that you would go through the private files on a government agent's computer on nothing more than baseless suspicion?"

He inspected her badge, then turned that same patronizing smile to her. "That's not a branch of government, miss. At least, not in my dimension."

Obviously his dimension had no idea what it was missing.

After several more seconds of staring at that horrible smile and trying not to let this sudden snap of temper get the best of her, Foxx realized this wasn't a fight she'd be winning. "Fine," she growled, snapping her badge shut and opening her laptop. She entered the password and set everything to Read Only mode (because she'd be damed if they were going to change anything) before handing it over to the CFP agent.

"Thank you," he replied. The tune that smile gave off as it widened whined up and down Foxx's last nerve. She stood in place, lockjawed and tense, until he returned her laptop five minutes later. "There, see, that wasn't so bad."

She began to wonder just what constituted justifiable homicide. Unfortunately, this probably wasn't it.

"Thank you," she offered her own cold reply, snatching her laptop back and stalking up to the DRT platform. The sooner she could get away from him and do some damage control, the better. She nodded to the technician at the controls - not the same person she'd been talking with, thankfully - watching as she performed the same motions Foxx herself had done so many times. She watched the technician input the sequence, initialize it-

And suddenly she was back at the Agency, running behind Missy and Starr, en route to the hangar and from there a Mission. Exhaustion forgotten in the exhiliration of a successful return, of being home again, and of an impending Mission.

They stopped at the car, Starr and Missy turning to face her. "Welcome back," Starr greeted her with a knowing smile, a perfect counterpoint to the sheer joy on Missy's face. "Are you ready for this?"

Foxx couldn't help but return the smile. "Of course."

It was a shame how most people really didn't understand the uses of a SD card. Most people used them in digital cameras, not realizing the plethora of information the tiny piece of tech could hold otherwise. Foxx, however, was not "most people." Nobody from CFP had thought to search her. Even if they had, she doubted they could have found the SD card tucked away in the hidden pocket of her badge wallet. Even on the way to the mission, she couldn't help but smirk when she thought about it. Yes, SD cards held a lot of data, modified ones even more so. The programming code and blueprints from the DRT would be enough to keep her busy for a long time to come.

'Cause this 737 is ready to fly!

I had a rhyming flight attendent on Southwest tonight. Her name was Tina. I was kind of expecting oversized headpones, but no dice.

LAX was teeeeeerrible. So many delays. FOUR HUNDRED DELAYS.

...not quite that many, but I couldn't pass up the reference. Looks like all the traffic we were expecting on the 405 was in the air over LAX instead.

But I made it home safe. Going to a football game tomorrow. Leaving to return to Pepperdine on Sunday. The high tomorrow is 25. Farenheit.
