Yeah...life's been pretty good. My skin's clearing up, it's stopped raining so much, all of my TV is back on, I have the Glee soundtrack, I have an assload of unhealthy food in my room, and a lot of things to be really excited about...

And Japanese was canceled today. XD You see that's the one good thing about swine flu ravaging my campus; professors will cancel class even if they just get the sniffles because it could be swine. Not that I wish swine flu upon my Japanese professor, but it was pretty awesome to not have class. Like, I got work done instead, because that's the time of day when I'm most productive. For whatever reason.

So far me and my friends have stayed flu-free. I think it helps that we live in a small house that's kind off from the rest of campus - if we were in Reimert (the big upperclassmen party dorm) or BWC (the big ol' centrally-located dorm where we lived last year), we'd probably be screwed. Purell is my new best friend, though. And they put up all these hand sanitizer dispensers all over campus, so basically any time I pass one and I don't have my hands full, I sanitize. And I've been extra sure to take my vitamins and get a decent amount of sleep.

Speaking of which, I've been having a lot of bouts of insomnia this semester; the worst was a couple of weeks ago when I couldn't fall asleep until five a.m. x.x For no reason other than my brain wouldn't shut off. Buuuut I went to Target and got this memory foam mattress pad, because my craptastic mattress certainly wasn't helping the being-unable-to-relax thing. And I think it really is helping, so that's good.

Also, I went to my advisor yesterday and got my schedule sorted out, which is good, because that was stressing me out a bit. So, if I get everything I want, here's my schedule next semester: ( cut for length )

That cracking noise you just heard? That was the sound of my heart breaking into a hundred pieces. D:

We have come to an extremely difficult decision. It has come time for us to move on from Copeland and follow other paths in our lives. ...

We couldn’t end things without a proper goodbye, so we are planning a final farewell tour in the US this coming Spring, as well as one final jaunt around the world to some of our favorite countries. We are really excited about seeing you all one more time, and we hope it turns out to be the best Copeland tour ever.

THEY BETTER COME TO PHILLY THIS SPRING ARGHHH
I think Emily might have her car here by then. I WILL PAY HER LOTS OF MONIES TO TAKE ME.

Screw this man, I'm taking a nap

Hi everyone! Posting my most recent adiml for the benefit of people who aren't members of the adiml community.

So here's my Saturday, October 3rd, aka homecoming, aka a day of friends, football, homework, and shopping.



( 69 pictures total )

Soooo.

I'm back at Ursinus and hot damn, does it feel good to be back. Like, you have no idea how wonderful it was to go out to dinner with my friends tonight.

Our room is very nice! I'll have pictures/possibly video of it within the week, I guess.

And uh... yeah, that's about all I had to say. Just thought it was worth posting.

Now then, I'm tired as anything, so I think I'll curl up in bed, read some Harry Potter, then pass out for my 8:40 class tomorrow. :)

Soooo now that I'm done work for the summer I've made a list of all the things I need to get done before I go back to school. Many of them are not related directly to back-to-school, like some of them are things like "catch up on Fullmetal episodes" and "see if Sims 3 really works on my laptop". Today's task, though, was to go through the rubbermaid drawers of college things still sitting in the spare room (or the playroom, as it's known, though not much playing goes on in there these days) and take stock of what was in there and what I need more of, like shampoo and the like.

So I go in there and moving action figures and random things around to give myself some more space, and then I get curious - exactly how many of these durn action figures have I collected over the years?

The short answer?

Quick entry before I go off and attempt to chill out with some Animal Crossing, but...


I GOT A SUMMER JOB!
Also I really wanted an excuse to post this gif.

( what happened! )

Stolen animation meme from rose_of_pollux and insaneladybug. ...Actually I was five minutes late for my 1:30 class because I was filling this out. XD;

( they popped out of the snow...LIKE DAISIES! )

Still in such a good mood from the housing stuff yesterday, although I did have a terrible time paying attention in any of my classes. Probably because it's so icky and rainy out. And then all throughout my 1:30 class I really had to pee and I kept thinking about how much I wanted to go back to my room and play Rune Factory 2. :D

I went home for Easter weekend and recieved an Easter check from my grandparents, so I took the money and bought RF2, a DS game that's basically Harvest Moon meets an RPG. It's reeeeally fun, I like how much there is to do. It took me a while to get the hang of the dungeon crawling part, but now that I've got it down, I really like it. And all the characters are so adorable, wut. The art is so appealing.

....And I just recieved a very interesting email from my current psychology professor: "Greetings! I was wondering if you would have any interest in working as a clerical assistant within the Psychology dept in the coming years. The work involves coming in MWF (hours are flexible, but usually our assistants work over the noon hour)...and working about 6 hours/week (more hours are available if you choose). Just let me know if the opportunity sounds appealing." .... Heck yes it does. o_o! So I'm going to email her back and we'll see how that goes. *...needs to see about getting a summer job, too... XD*

Edit: Blarghhh, I knew this summer job search stuff would get me irrationally stressed out. At least it's Melt-my-Brain Wednesday: silly stupid America's Next Top Model is on now, and then at nine super crazy brain-exploding Lost. :D

IN OTHER NEWS, there was finally an article about Supernatural in my mom's Entertainment Weekly, so when she was done with the magazine she sent me the pictures from the article, so I finally have Jared and Jensen on the Hot Man Door. :D

WE GOT EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED FOR HOUSING NEXT YEAR. OH MY GOD, I AM SO EXCITED I COULD PEE

THIS IS WHERE WE ARE LIVING, IS IT NOT ADORABLE, ALSO THAT PORCH IS PRETTY BITCHIN. THERE'S NO COMMON ROOM INSIDE THE HOUSE, BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE THAT PORCH IS EPIC, AND WE HAVE ALREADY DECIDED WE WILL BE HAVING PICNICS THERE. AND JESS AND ALI AND EMMA ARE LIVING IN THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET FROM US WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED AND WOW.

Okay capslock off. XD Emily and I are living in room 104, and Liz and Katie are in 103 :DDDD Paloma's in a single in a house down the street, which I think I might've mentioned here before, idk. No but see the housing selection was done in the big auditorium in one of the academic buildings, and the four of us (me, Emily, Liz, and Katie) left the auditorium and darted into a nearby empty classroom to squee and jump around. XD

AND TOMORROW I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO NOT GO TO JAPANESE PRACTICE TOMORROW. (My TA is adorable and all but I have that class from three to four which sucks only she can only have it tomorrow at noon and I could technically still go to the 12 o'clock one and still make it to all my classes and have lunch but it'd be a huge pain, and JUST WOW THIS DAY COULD NOT GET ANY BETTER.)

Oh btw, quotes are updated big time.

And Friiiiinge tonight, and it looks so good!

WELL GOOOOOOD MORNING, INTERNETS.

And with that I'm going to merrily skip off and get cracking on my papers.

I hate my liiiiiife~

....Okay not really but yeah, just not really feeling much of anything right now.

Stupid SCHOOL.

Don't think I'll be online for the next few nights, sorry Daisy. I'm just swamped with this huge communications project and I don't really have a handle on it yet. Bleh.

In other news, this is what happens in college.

Edit: oh so of course I say that but then I find all this new ACC information to post about. I did find this trailer that confirms a NA release but also more or less confirms it'll be Blu-Ray only. :[ WELL YOU KNOW WHAT SE, THAT IS THE STUPIDEST TRAILER I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, SO THERE. Seriously I was laughing the whole way through the trailer. Sounds like LittleKuriboh made that shit.

...But then I find scans like this and I can't be mad. N'AWWW CLOUD WAY TO REMIND ME HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU~

Also...okay, I can see why Twilight and Supernatural seem like logical fandoms to crossover. I've toyed with writing a sort of...light-hearted one myself, even. But Bella/Castiel? I mean, really? If Bella Swan came anywhere near Cas, his sheer awesomeness would probably cause her to, like, spontaneously combust or something.

:D It was a lot of fun. Behind the cut I've got the tracks, a lyrical sample, somewhere where you can stream the audio, and my justification for putting the track on the mix. There are spoilers for everything behind the cut.

( cheaper than therapy )

I haven't actually listened to all the youtube songs, so let me know if any of those links don't work right or whatever. Thanks for looking :D

HO HO HO LET'S SEE WHAT'S IN MY BAG OF GOODIES

( cut for images )

Ace Attorney Christmas fic is uuuuup. (It's spoilery for all four games.) You know how, when you used to publish a new story on ff.net, they'd be like, "Here's the link to your new story!" and then you could pass that out to your friends even though the new story was not reflected on your profile page yet? Yeah....they don't do that anymore. >_>

QUOTES ARE UPDATED BTW MERRY CHRISTMAS I GUESS?

Also check out the "lost ending" to It's a Wonderful Life. ...With some bonus William Shatner. My favorite part is the dead-on Jimmy Stewart impression.

Okay I gotta run. Gingerbread house to build and all that. Doing an ADIML today so you can see how crazy Christmas Eve always is. XD

Happy holidays guys! ♥

This week is going to be effing amazing because I get the house to myself all morning/early afternoon while my family is at work/school. Now don't get me wrong; I mean I love my roommates to death, but still when you share one room with two other people, an entire house to yourself is beyond exciting. :D

I am going to Sim my butt off.

BTW, got an ADIML up.

HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA THIS ICON <3333

Okay, so I finished my first final, and I'm going home later today. o__o; I'm really excited to, but at the same time I can hardly believe I'm going home. Yeesh. Not to mention I'm going to miss the shit out of UC and my friends. ..... And it's gonna be so strange to see my high school friends over break, for reasons that I'll get into when I've got a bit more time on my hands.

'Cause I've got to finish my CIE/Lion King paper and drop that off in my professor's office, as well as get some more done on my sociology paper, and of course do all my packing by about two, when my mom will get here. And eat somewhere in there, too.

I can't believe how sleepy I was when I got back from my final this morning. I guess it took a lot more out of me than I thought it did. I went to work on my papers and I was like, "Need....coffffeeeee..." So I sipped my coffee and chatted with Emily, which helped.

Haha, the fire alarm was going off in Ritter when I showed up to take my media final. o.O; I was afraid it would push the final back and screw up my plans to go home today, but it was totally a false alarm and the campus safety guy showed up and turned it off. ....The campus safety people here are so unbelievably nice. No matter what time of day it is, what the problem is, or what the weather is like, they're always all, "Hi how are you doing!?"

The final was about exactly what I was expecting, which was good. The multiple choice questions were easy as pie, and the short answer questions were tedious and a little harder, since they were kind of vaguely worded and she wanted "examples" for every little thing.

( geeking out behind the cut )

ALSO I'M REALLY SICK AND TIRED OF EFFING MEDCO NEEDING TO CONFIRM MY SHIPPING ADDRESS EVERY THREE SECONDS. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY NEVER GET MY MAILBOX NUMBER IN THE ADDRESS SO IT TAKES ME AGES TO GET MY PRESCRIPTION. I'M AT COLLEGE SO THINGS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE PEOPLE, HONESTLY.

Ohgod I forgot how awful and terrifying and sad the end of the fourth Harry Potter movie is.

Oh Cedric D:

.....Liz shooting all the bad guys in the face with her Nerf gun is kind of hilarious though.

ETA: APPARENTLY THERE'S A TROJAN ON MY COMPUTER D: I scanned the whole thing and nothing else came up but that one file though... only I can't delete the file in my anti-virus software because I don't have administrative privileges, thanks a lot UC. .__. The program quarantined it, so I guess it'll be okay until I can get my laptop to tech support tomorrow morning. I guess I could go to the folder where the file is and delete it manually but I really have no idea how this works, and I'm afraid it'd just screw everything up if I did that.

You know you're friends with your roommate when you're in the bathroom popping zits together. :D

Also you know you're in the middle of finals stress when you're all watching The Lion King and singing along to "Hakuna Matata".

....Similarly, you know you're in college when the conversation suddenly turns to which characters from The Lion King you'd........do.

Also tonight I dissected a pig's heart. o__O Oh UC, you and your freshman seminar... My partner Saleymn and I ended up cutting the entire bottom of our heart off and she took it over to our professor and shouted, "I love you from the bottom of my heart!"

In other news all my icons are borked because there was something weird with the automatic payments and my paid account is bye-bye and I can't do anything about it until I go home next week.

THERE ARE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN OUR ROOOOOOM. I'll have to get some pictures soon.

I think I'm going to officially go in hiatus until next week. Too much to doooo-
I just wish I could get a lot done on my CIE paper which is on The Lion King so you know it should be awesome and easy but I just can't get it started blah.
