So, yeah...I knew I said I wouldn't likely update, yet here I am, at 2:30 in the morning, trying to deafen myself to the sounds of my roommate and her friends playing a drinking game by listening to random trance/electronica music while finishing up a drawing of a Shiba-Inu (in case you're wondering, I live in a dorm-apartment set up so that me and my three other roomies have our own rooms with two bathrooms and a living room/kitchen...so I can stay within the safety of my own room and not have to witness whatever stupid game they're playing ). In a related, yet random, note...I really want a Shiba-Inu...they're absolutely adorable!

Anyway, things have been more or less on the stressful side lately. College is kicking my arse more than usual. General Chemistry II, and Gen. Chem. I for that matter, are essentially the-devil-incarnate-courses that brag about using "simple algebra" that one does not get unless they have had some form of Calculus (and I don't mean pre-calc o_O). Anyone that says Chemistry is easy is either lying, is super-smart, actually enjoys this crap, has an incredibly high ego and is bragging, or all of the above >_< My last test wasn't too good. I didn't fail, but I was a few points below the average. At least I'm keeping up with the online homework and the online quizzes (which are designed to make us "think"...how ingenious Nothing but complicated math crap). And the Lab for Gen. Chem. II is just as confusing with its completely vague directions which might as well say "Using the rock I put on your table, light your stool on fire"

Aside from General Chemistry II, my Intro to Psych Sciences class could be going better...I got a C on my last test because I didn't have time to study (*cough* Chemistry *cough*). I'm going to try and study my ass off for the next test, seeing that I do not want to get a C in something that's going to be my minor o.O I'm also annoyed with my English Composition II class as well...I get the feeling there's no pleasing my teacher My first paper came back as an 88%..and I thought I did better on it (especially since she liked my first draft a lot). Don't get me wrong...I like her a lot. She's an excellent teacher and is really teaching me how to think...I'm just trying to get used to her hard grading -_- On the other hand, my Intro to World Religions class is going well. Got an A on the last test And the Symphonic Band is going well this year...though I've still got a long way to go with the oboe itself (my teacher says I'm getting better...but sometimes I think she's just saying that to make me feel better since my embouchure is still all over the place and I can never get the opening in my solo right...)

Oh well...that's just me being mopey. I'm just going to keep on trying. After all, I was just as hopeless last semester when I had the same amount of courses that were just as hard, and I made it out with only 1 C in Pre-calculus. I also get to see the biology undergrad advisor next week to discuss classes, so it should be a bit of a morale booster ^_^

In other news, I've been drawing and writing off and on. I'm getting tons of ideas for my main StarFox fan fic and I just wrote the intro for my other StarFox character, which, once I have proofread and edited it, I'll post up on here and on fanfiction ^^ (given that they haven't booted me off for inactivity ._.; ) Though I must admit, I have to thank ArrowRinehart for part of my inspiration with Aki's story ^-^ (so if you're reading this, thanks! ) I need to stop and get serious over the weekend, since I really need to sit down and study hard for my upcoming Psych and Chemistry tests...but I guess my mind just needed a creative break to help relieve some of the stress.

Anyway, I think I'm going to go to bed...it's 3 AM now and I'm starting to get a headache from staring at the computer screen for a long time x_o So...wish me luck as I attempt to make it through this semester alive!

Ja Ne ^ ^
