Yup. So I'm finally settling into a minor groove here. I still have to go to the first meetings for my clubs, but I feel generally at ease. I'm making lots of friends which is awesome.

So, I don't really have that much to comment about other than the fact of, which many of you already know, I get to go to the Galapagos Islands in January. It's during winter break so I won't miss any class and it's for eleven days.

For at least six of these days, we're going to be on a boat with three people from a different college (two profs. and a student, I think) and two experts which live on the islands. We get to go snorkeling every day and possibly visit a volcano near by (I think it's called Kito) depending upon how active it is. Yikes!

The reason the trip is to the Galapagos this year is the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of his publication of his On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Lengthy title, right?!

It's for four credits and I'm totally excited. Ask me more questions, if you have them. I'm watching Project Runway now so I'm very distracted.

I love you guys!

Oh, my goodness! I have to leave for college in less than twelve hours!! People keep asking me if I am excited and I feel bad to give them the real answer, but I give it anyway. No, I am not excited. I am nervous, and scared out of my ever-loving mind. But I suppose all kids are like that when they first move off. Do I have everything I'm going to need? Can I really take care of all the things my parents do for me myself? Will my classes eat me alive?!.

Hopefully, I'll be able to take it. I'm going for pre-medicine and three of my four classes are science lab classes. The other is Spanish, which should be easy enough. I am so nervous that I won't be able to survive! I have to find a place to fill my prescriptions and a way to get to a convenience store if I need it. I have no car, which is going to be weird because there has nearly always been one available for me since I could drive.

A lot of my friends have already left, and a lot still have yet to go. I wish them all well, and give them my best. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever see them again, but then my brain tells me to shut up and smile, give them hugs, and tell them I love them. I do hope this will not be the last time.

A new end. That's really what this is. A new way to end things. Full of wonderings and never agains. Such as, tonight will be the last time I ever sleep in my bed as a full-time occupant of my home. My parents' home. I wonder what the house will be like when I leave. Will it be quiet? Will the arguing stop? Or will it continue? Who knows. No one at this point.

All I can do is hope for a good beginning. A good rest of my life. This is a big step and I hope it's not off a bridge. But who knows. Maybe that's just what I need.

Maybe, I'll find I have wings.

Holy shit! Yesterday was my little brother's birthday and he and myself kind of black mailed my parents into giving us the playstation 2 back! Teehee. I told him that I wanted to get him a game for it and so I took him with me to the local GameStop and he picked out a game. He promised to act surprised when I gave it to him. He did. It was amazing.

But he gave my parents the guilt trip that I went out and got him this new game (Shadow of the Collosus (I know it's not spelled correctly)) and he couldn't play it because the playstation had been taken away. Now when I mean taken away, I mean taken away. It was gone close to a year. I told Haliaetus that I would punch him in the face if he got it taken away again. And I meant it.

Well, I haven't had the chance to play it yet because I want to get through my deviations, but I will. And it will be glorious!

TaTas!

Yeah, like a vagina!

Alright. I'm sick of this not being inspired to draw business. I am putting a request out there to anyone and everyone to give me suggestions of subjects to draw. I don't care what it is, whether it be out of fantasy or real life. (*note* My speciality is people, but I kind of want to break into something new *note*) It can be your dog for Heaven's sake. (Just a forewarning, I am baaad at animals, but I'll chibi whatever turns into a pile of excrement if I don't think it's justified to live in real life; at least then it can be cute). , I know I owe you Gavi. I swear I'll do him too. I'll start off with him, just remind me. Again, please let me know what you want.

Note me if you like privacy, or just comment on this journal.
Thankies!
