Recent Activities Report
Pros: Registration is soon, I can get it out of the way. The classes I chose seem not uninteresting, and the professors I emailed were all really nice about SKNs and permission to join the class and such.
Cons: Albany is stupid. Neesama hasn't heard anything about grad school from them, STILL, and apparently unless you already had senior standing halfway through junior year, you aren't eligible for senior registration. Even though I'm GOING to be a senior at the END of my JUNIOR year, as seems logically [and chronologically!] accurate, I am forced to register as a junior because I wasn't a senior LAST semester. But, um, if I was a senior last semester, what would be the point of my being a junior this semester?
Luckily for ME, I may not be able to claim senior status when it comes to the "seniors register early" policy, but I WILL get to claim senior status when it comes to the "seniors can't register for 100-level classes" policy. Yippee! No gen-ed fulfillment for me!
Pros: My bike can magically transform into a different, BETTER bike. I discovered this one morning when I was riding to school at 8:50am and was thus a little hazy; but still I could not help but notice that, hey, my bike was pedalling a lot faster than it usually did, and my tires felt fuller, and I was doing much less work than I remembered in getting up hills. I distinctly recall running my fingers over the bell and poking it.
Later that day when I went to collect the bike, it was not where I remembered leaving it; it was somewhere else. Somebody else's bike, identical to mine, was where I remembered leaving mine. When I rode back to the seminar house, I could feel that my bike was back to normal -- slow, flat-tired, and stressful. The bell was broken, in vaguely dangerous shards, and running my fingers over it might well result in bleeding.
I hope my bike transforms back to its shiny form soon.
Cons: ...my bike is no longer magically transformed. Duh.
Pros: I'm unearthly creative lately, I've been inspired to work on creative activities and get with the roleplaying and write write write in the last little while. I feel more productive than I have in ages.
Cons: I suspect that drabbles are actually unhealthy for me; I tried to write a regular novelesque event sequence and found myself unable to make the tone sound... normal enough. It kept trying to be loaded. You can't write a whole book that sounds loaded. Also, my beloved community is slowing drastically; of the last 20 posts, over half of them were me acting in various capacities. ^^;; So I feel bad "flooding" the community with a bunch of irrelevant non-challenge writing when so few people are posting anything at all.
There are a couple of people I'd like to RP with who are either offline or going through rough times and somewhat standoffish besides; they're out of reach either way. *languish!* And finally my beta reader appears to have blocked me in a last desperate attempt to avoid actual responsibility, to which I say, whatever. I'm perfectly capable of posting on my own now.
Things to Do: Gina needs a boyfriend, Robin needs an "older woman", and one or both of them require children. (I get the feeling that Gina is going to wind up living longer than she should; she doesn't seem to be planning on breeding early, if at all.) Dominick has spontaneously acquired a girlfriend and she needs to be developed. All three of those are open to anybody who knows them/cares in the slightest/wants to spare me the effort, because I'm too slow for their tastes. ^_~ I need to do something productive with my productive energy, instead of what I have been doing, which is essentially sitting around and browsing the Internet until it's 4am and I can't procrastinate on my midterm [finished!] anymore.
