Yeah, so I guess I'm over here now.
Friend me if you want (I would love to be friended) and I will friend you back because I love you.
If you'd rather I stay here, I won't be making entries (as far as I can foresee), but for the next few weeks at least I can check for important life-changing moments in your life and maybe leave a comment or three or two. |

Well, I'm enamoured.
I posted my ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) mission101 list here.
I'll be back if I'm back, but mostly I'll be over there. And friggin' excited about it too.
Time for class ^__^ |

M'thinking of turning this into a community so I can post to it from a writing journal. Is that silly? |

I suppose this is something I'll always have to deal with; the nonsensical depression that follows stress. I'm paralyzed and, in the next ten days, it's either me or college that will be left standing. Trust me when I say I mean to knock it down. And trust me when I say I'll be happy when I never have to fight this fight again. It takes too much from me. That's what Lawrenceville taught me--that some things take too much. |

I have 92 items on my list now, after 4 hours at work. I'm going to have to look back at them in a day or two and see if the things I have on their still apply. It's hard to create a list so long of things you want to do. I'm especially trying to think of those little things I've always been meaning to do, but have never done. Like making a mix CD.
A lot of it seems like things I'll be able to finish or at least start right away, which is wonderful. Because if I'm finishing a lot of things in the beginning (and hopefully consistently throughout the whole thing), I'll be more likely to go through with it 'till the end.
There are some things on there that seem impossible because they're things I haven't found the inertia to do or things that are a stretch. A big stretch.
I plan to update once a month.
And at the end of (less than) three years, I'll have a long list of accomplishments (even if some of them seem small) and a long list of things I've tried. |

| Finished something!!! |

That HD story I started in June? I just finished it today. *is proud*
I kept dates of the times I worked on it. 06.30.06; 11.14.06; 04.26.07
It took me 10 months to write 11 pages (about 5,000 words), but I finished it.
I'd like to edit it now, once on my own then again with a beta. Someone who knows has read the books (because I haven't), but wouldn't mind it being slightly a lot off. I'd mostly be looking for someone who could tell me if a description is off (like of a room, an owl, or a character's appearance). But that won't be for a while yet. |

[Apr. 25th, 2007|04:24 pm] |
I'm going to take another stab at mission101. My dates will be May 02, 2007 - January 27, 2010. This gives me enough time to make a well thought out list, but not enough time to get impatient about scratching things off (which is my favorite part).
So far, I have 21 things.
It's a strange time to make a list because it's a strange time in my life. I plan to graduate in spring 2008 and so at least some of my life should take that into consideration. Like, what do I want to do after college?
I'm going to apply to JET because I can and I want to travel and I want to go back to Japan. Hopefully, if I get in, I'll grow fluent in Japanese just by being there.
Because it's a strange time in my life, I also have to make sure the items on my list are flexible enough to withstand any twists and turns my life might (is very likely to) take. When I think about my future, I think, "wouldn't that be strange?"
Possibility is a very strange place. |

So, that presentation draft I turned in didn't go so well, but I've got two more drafts to make up for it (including the final draft).
I'm in the computer lab right now working on that second draft, which is completely different from the first. It's no longer about yaoi or shonen ai exactly, it's just a few good anecdotes I'll have an easier time remembering when it comes to present my topic. I don't know why I didn't think to do this before. She said the topic I chose was okay, but I couldn't work with it.
Although . . . I still want to throw some bishounen in there. Just a little bit. |

I started looking at flights. I also finished the first draft of my presentation and turned it in. I also finished the reading of my screenplay. All I have to do now is edit everything I've written so far and have it ready to be turned in.
Other things I have to do:
Catching up in Japanese
Working in my Seminar paper + presentation
Reading Basho's Narrow Road so I can write a paper on it
That should be all my classes.
And now I think I'm going to go to sleep. |

| daffodils and dandelions |
[Apr. 23rd, 2007|08:38 pm] |
So, seriously, I need to write that presentation. It's become a race to see how long I can put it off and that's not cool. Note: instead of writing the presentation right now, I am writing this. *sigh* I'm really terrible about school.
When I say that, people will say, "That's okay, I am too," but the difference between us is usually (always) that they're a senior and I'm not. That's a big difference.
Anyway, class was good today. In premodern Japanese lit, we had a traveling class, where we went for a walk and stopped at various places on campus to analyze or discuss. This was the class where I learned what daffodils were. All this time, I've thought another flower was called "daffodils" but I just remembered--the name of that flower is "dandelions."
Anyway, today's been a good day. I took a five minute walk around campus before I went to work because it's awful to be fifteen minutes early. It really is. Anyway, I'm gonna go now. There's work to be done.

A few hours of work today and then . . . birthday celebrations!
There's a lot I have to do this weekend, but this day (after work lets out) remains reserved for someone special.
Let's see how much I can get done before then, ne? |

you are thistle
#D8BFD8 |
Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be.
Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.
Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

Despite the mistake I made last night, everyone involved has been very nice. I now have until Monday night to rewrite the draft of my seminar paper.
Yatta ^^;; |

Goodbye frail hope that I will ever find my paper in time to turn it in . . .
*watches hope flutter away*
*sighs*
*mutters about temporary documents*
Figures this is the one time I'd overlook saving it in another folder before I turned off my computer for the night.
Also figures that the parts I do have are mostly comprised of the parts I scrapped. |

The fluffy stuff makes me grin uncontrollably. I have to turn my computer sightly to the side because I'm in the library and people walk by sometimes. And some of the fluff, it's not . . . ehm. Yeah. Mistletoe!
I should probably be freaking out about not having gotten more of my paper done yet. After all, I don't plan to work on it past midnight, so that gives me a measly eight hours left to write . . . five or six more single-spaced pages.
In maybe 4 or 5 hours, I've gotten one and a half pages done. If I put my head to it, I know I can grind it out fast. It's just . . . the fluff. After I finish the mistletoe round and write another few paragraphs, I'll pry myself away from the net, return home, eat, and work without the ethernet cord. For a while. |

[Apr. 8th, 2007|09:07 pm] |
It's 9:07 pm. I am 1 1/2 paragraphs into an 8 page paper. Due tomorrow.
My heart's not in it. At all.
I don't want to be writing it. At all.
I get distracted. Frequently.
But this is something that needs to be done. |
