Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
Red up a whole lotta Poe, trying to research for the paper I had to do. I made some interesting discoveries (like that he has more of a variety of stories than you'd imagine, and he apparently had a fascination with hypnosis), but all that flipping out was somewhat a waste. I finally succumbed and asked for help from the girl who says I'm her little sister, for she's an LA tutor at the school. She helped majorly, and I could immediately work on typing up the essay, but I didn't use a lot of the notes I'd supposedly taken. Eh, at least it was just the first week I did all that on, and I know I can catch up rather fast for some classes. And once the final draft for my Poe class is turned in, along with the final assignment for Exploring Computer Science (apparently it's the new name for Computer Tech?), I'll only have 3 classes to work on besides seminary. That means I have plenty of time- supposedly- for preparing for next year.
Aw man, I'm scared for next year. That's when I'm just gonna be doing college classes, basically (unless I choose to take a class at the high school just cuz, like maybe Creative Writing?). I have to be totally sure about which classes I take. Though I'm gonna be double-checking with my mom, it looks like my picks for next semester are Chemistry, English, and Math 1060 (the Accuplacer had actually placed me in Math 1080, but they didn't even offer concurrent for that class! Nonetheless, my teacher thought it'd be better to go into 1060, since it would be a good review and possibly teach me more in depth a few more things, and thus leave me better prepared for 1080, which hopefully I can take the semester after that), with alternates being Physics and US History.
Yeah, I know that I don't have a "fun" class, but I know I can deal with just required ones perfectly fine. That's pretty much what happened last year, after all- the only elective I had was Psychology, and that turned out to not be a fun class because the teacher didn't actually teach? Though I was annoyed by that, there was a lack of electives I actually wanted to take there besides Psych anyway. Same here, with the concurrent classes. They had a lot of art classes, but most just said "Art", and due to not liking my art class in 7th grade, that doesn't sound fun to me. The other artsy classes I didn't have enough interest for, either. Really, the one high school elective I think I liked the most was Sculpture/Ceramics, but that wasn't on the list. I still preoccupied myself with doodling and writing last year, so I'll probs just be doing the same, along with socializing (who does that?). Also, my drum set should finally be set up by then! We started barely putting the rack together and the hihat, but we still have a lot to do before it's ready to play.
Purple is not the best eyeshadow color. Luckily, my mom had put pink instead, when we had to be makeuped for performing the Tahitian dance again. Apparently, my sis had made the promise that we would perform at the school talent show, but due to last-minute things she won't be able to make it. So, we are recording the dance so they can play it at the show.
My mom found it necessary to do full makeup, unlike what I'm used to. She put foundation and everything. And, like what always happens, I didn't like it because I didn't look like me anymore (especially in the video! I doubt I would've recognized myself if I hadn't already had the knowledge that it was supposed to be me). I had to deal with it, though. Hopefully, in the end the video is decent, cuz from what I saw I wasn't doing as good as I wish I did.
Blue, I am no longer. Really, there was indeed some fun stuff that happened, one being seeing Zootopia!!! It definitely wasn't what I expected, but it was nonetheless very awesome. It so deserves all the cred it's been given.
Green with envy? Maybe you should be. *sticks tongue out*
I ran out of the colors of the rainbow... oops. Well, besides indigo, but that would be impossible to work into a sentence.
My mom also dug out old scrapbooks and photos, and has been working on new scrapbooks/binders for the photos that weren't already in one. It's been really fun to see all these old pictures, especially when my mom tells me about when and where it was taken. As far as I remember, I've always liked looking through the scrapbooks and stuff. And now I'm actually helping for a few of the new ones! Spending time with my mom and piles of photos~ I can't really think of anything else I'd rather do.
Somehow, I got an okay amount of writing done. I added more to the current VH chapter, and am quite close to finishing it (besides the alts), and Liz decided to post the first chapter of the fic we were doing together. Due to Scaehime, its title is currently "Quintet Quest" (or QQ, as I'll refer to it from now on), but I still like calling the "quintet" the Fab Five. I'm really hoping people will like it, at least if not the first chapter then starting from one of the later ones. We've got five chapters done, and will start the sixth sometime this week.
Something that I think I mentioned earlier was that I was now considering doing a RWBY Ruby Rose cosplay? Yeah, I've been thinking more seriously about it. If I had access to a sewing machine, I could actually do it myself. I've studied a bit the costumes you can buy online, and it seem like in general it wouldn't be difficult to do by hand. I'd just need to find a black dress with long sleeves (and a collar, if possible), a red tutu for the poof under the skirt, and buy the other appropriate materials for her cape and decorations on the dress. Equally, for her boots I'd need to find black boots (or normal boots and paint them black) and red shoelaces. Extra points if I can find the red buckles for cheap, too.
So her outfit itself doesn't seem impossible, with enough searching in stores and time to put it all together. Her weapon would be difficult to make myself, though, without it looking stupid. She'd be easiest to recognize with it, though, I think, which is a prob. I'd either have to go without it and hope I look enough like her with the dress and haircut, or buy the prop online, which will be about a hundred bucks. Ugh, cosplay be expensive.
I'd probs only make the adjustment of lengthening her skirt, cuz that thing's tiny. I'd tried sketching her with a skirt around knee length to see if she'd still be recognizable:
Why do I tend to draw legs too short if I draw a dress?
Anyway, it seems like it might still be okay with a longer skirt, but I realized today that, ultimately, it'd come down to what length of tutus and dresses I find. I'd most likely end up with the dress being more like mid-thigh than to the knee, but I'd be okay with that if my tights/leggings were opaque enough.
There's the issue that I don't look anything like her physically... So, again, the haircut should defs help, but it'd be the most complete with her weapon, and my face would have to be ignored. With all that done, it'd go awesome!
What this goes down to, ultimately, is whether I have enough faith in myself to actually complete the project and whether I'm willing to pay the moolah. I've only got a little over $100, as far as I remember, and that could most likely all be used for something more useful, like for anything I need in my classes next year or the year after that. I guess I would indeed have to get a job over the summer or something to get enough money to do the cosplay. Getting a job just doesn't sound fun at all, though. I don't even want to work in Arby's, anymore. ...Okay, I'd be more willing to work in Arby's than in a whole lot of other restaurants, but I still just don't really wanna deal with a job. Now that it seems I'm most likely not gonna be taking CLEP tests over the summer after all, and will only need to do PE in summer school, I'd technically have the time to do a job... If they're willing to hire me for only a few months. I'd really rather not work in my first year of college classes, so I can get used to the workload without having a job on top of all that. Ugh, I like spending my time at home, but if I wanna feel more prepared for the future I gotta consider working! That sounds like an awful time, though!
Well. Ignore my whining, and have a nice day! Look out for rainbows! K bai!
