Over and Done!

This is the end of my first half of senior year. This year is rushing by and I don't know if I'm ready for all that. But I finished a pretty big milestone! I had my last final today and I had lots of fun with it. Asian Approaches to Acting was one of the coolest classes I've ever taken. It was my last ever Elizabeth class, so I got crazy emotional. And she read my rough draft today and said I didn't need to revise or resubmit. So I'm done! It is all done. Completely finished. And I could not be happier. Now I can relax. I am at home for the next few days. I will shop. I will set up Christmas decorations. I will make Christmas cards. I will read. And then I'll be back on campus on Saturday, in time for Jessica's birthday, and enjoy one more week on campus with everyone while we prepare for our final run of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. And then I'll come back the night of December 19th. Crazy. The year is so close to over. Crazy crazy crazy.

A Better Western

A better Wednesday! All my work got done. The project is complete. We cleaned the house today. I watched some of my shows. We opened our show tonight! And I ate tons of delicious food. Today has basically been lovely in so many ways, and I am grateful for it. This week should only get better. I look forward to it.

Katherines

I finished An Abundance of Katherines by John Green! It was pretty good. I'm happy with it. Some parts certainly hit very close to home for me. But it was funny and interesting and, despite being slightly predictable, a fun page turner. I enjoy John Green very much. I've now read all of his solo works! Now to get Let It Snow and Will Grayson Will Grayson.

To the Tune of Blues Clues

WE JUST FINISHED FILMING

NOW WE CAN EDIT!

It Is Completed!

Hooray for travel video that I worked super hard on!

OOOWHEEEEOOOOHHH

I finished Doctor Who! I am finally caught up with this ridiculously long series. I got through 4 doctors and like what, seven companions. 8 seasons. And it only took me several years. But I'm caught up! I did it. I had a blast! And now I can move on to other summer marathoning things :) Finished Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Finished Paper Towns. Finished Doctor Who. I feel fab.

Prize!

I finished my rought draft of John's paper. Sorta kinda. I submitted the best I could hand in and now it's out of my hands. I wait for my comments and then work on the paper. But it's one less thing to stress about. Finally. Now I am home. Now sleep can be a thing. And now I can enjoy the BEAUTIFUL prize my Little got me. She and her friend Laura made me blue roses out of duct tape. I sob. They're beautiful. The flowers and the girls. I am just content with everything that happened today after 5pm.

4-15-15

I didn't blog yesterday. Oh my gosh. Sammy. What the heck? Lol stay on schedule

JUDAISM PRESENTATION OVER! It was a lovely Prezi, if I do say so myself. Our group was pretty dang efficient and did hella work in one day. I am proud of us. I was only up til 4 cause I'm a perfectionist and I need to make it beautiful. But I am happy that it was good and now it's OVER. One less giant project to worry about. Crossing them off my list. Feel so good, no lie.

Unexpected Review

Reason 304: So I watched a new anime. It's called Rosario to Vampire.  

Prepare for some massive spoilers. Which I won't feel sorry about because this show is NOT worth watching.

So there's this kid, Tsukune. He is pretty weak. He's not the macho type, but rather the sweet and shy type. His build is average, I'd say. He accidentally enrolled into a high school (boarding school). On his first day, he runs into this ridiculously attractive girl named Moka. They become bestest buds on the spot. Once they get to school, all these guys are like HOLY CRAP SHE'S SEXY, and she's all Tsukune <3333333333333 insert hearts and bubbles and pink glitter everywhere. So all these guys already hate Tsukune. First class, Tsukune finds out something very important: This is a school for monsters. It is within a barrier so no humans can get in (whoops). The purpose of the school is for monsters and humans to coexist, SO since humans aren't exactly fond of monsters, there are 2 major rules. One, all students must be in human form at all times. Two, you must not tell anyone your true monster identity. Because of these rules, Tsukune is able to go undiscovered (by everyone except Moka, who he already told). Turns out, Moka's rosary around her neck is a seal. Once it is pulled off, her true vampire self is revealed (she goes from a cutie with pink hair and green eyes to a BAMF with white hair, red eyes, and a haunting voice). So obviously Tsukune is freaked the hell out but he decides to stay. The rest of the show is everyone being REALLY BAD at following these 2 simple rules, every other girl falling for Tsukune (some of which become his friends and continue to fight over him through the show although he and Moka are clearly gonna be a thing), and Moka's rosary getting pulled off so that BAMF Moka can save them from whatever idiot monster arrives.

Problems with this show:

1. Predictable plot for every episode
2. Shows where 1000 people like the same character SUCK
3. Score/Music is awful. Openings/Endings are decent.
4. Even though the art & plot are super girly, it was obviously done by a male. Boobs and panties EVERYWHERE. I couldn't go a full minute in episode 1 without complaining about the skirts. If you need to censor the image constantly, JUST MAKE THE SKIRTS LONGER.
5. Sequel to the series should've just been one long series. And the sequel added a VERY unnecessary character that I want to kill.
6. There's a problem when my favorite character is the narrator.

BUT the point I'm trying to make (excuse my rant) is that I finished it today. It's over. I can MOVE ON. YAY MOVING ON FROM AWFUL THINGS. I'll give it props though. The plot for the last 3 episodes was pretty good. Overall had an awful message (similar to Jem with the whole which version do I like even though they're THE SAME PERSON). But the ending and moral end up being pretty cool. Anyway. No more. Onto better things! (Hopefully). Next in the line up: FMA Brotherhood, Naruto SD, and Attack On Titan. ALL AT ONCE!

Also, I'm on a serious Bruno Mars kick. I ADORE the groove in this song.

 

Guess This Is Goodbye

Reason 290: End of exams. I go home tomorrow. I did it. I completed my freshman year at McDaniel College. Honestly, it doesn't feel like that great of an accomplishment. But that's because it didn't feel so hard. Not that I wasn't challenged or anything, because oh my yes I was stressed to the max sometimes. But overall, the memories of this year are fun and loving. Must've done something right!

A new Mars song to celebrate? For me? Oh, you shouldn't have! Thanks boys!
