10/06/05 What an exciting and stressful week. Tuesday was the first day of Nano; I did fairly well but I haven't had much time to write since then so I'm only 6.5k into the story. I came up with some good ideas while planning earlier today, but then, I get ahead of myself. Wednesday was a combination of kick-ass and suck-ass... I joined the Troops Out Walk Out and discovered what a protest is all about... mainly a lot of speakers and people chanting inane slogans that everyone in the group already agrees with. We did, however, take over University Avenue when we walked--the biggest, busiest street on campus. That was pretty cool. This was followed, however, by something rather asinine--we climbed the hill. Not bad, eh? Well... we climbed it twice. No one had enough breath for slogan-chanting after that, and I was at the back of the group. Still slightly surprised that I made it up twice with no rest at top speed. woo. Then we marched down to the ROTC and protested a bit outside the building. It ended badly, however... most of the people left and we were left with fanatics and idiots (and one guy from protestwarrior was there being an ass). One of the idiots threw a quarter at the ROTC door and the hovering police arrested him--a 14 year old kid. They were looking for trouble and so was he. Then 3/4 of the group abandoned the protest idea and went to try and bail him out or something. So it basically fell apart on behalf of our own actions. Idiocy, fwee 0.o I did however get a free poster stick, so now I can make my own poster... something like 'Honk if you love peace' or something. The bad news of the day was my decision to drop Math. I am still vaguely disappointed in myself but as Peter the H said, there is no reason for me to linger on it when the decision was already made and done. Yes, I was upset and cried over it. I truly felt like a failure. But now that I have come to terms with that feeling and actually dropped the class, I need to refocus on doing well in the rest of my classes. Friday I got the car and Amanda and I went out for supper and then saw March of the Penguins, which was adorable, funny, and interesting. And I got to see XXX LIVE PENGUIN SEX *cough* well edited penguin sex, anyway. It was kind of funny. Saturday was my day to write/procrastinate. I got up at 7, wrote at a coffeeshop with heyfoureyes from the Nano Forums, drove to Panera for lunch/more writing, and then went to Escape Coffeehouse for the group meeting. It was a good meeting but very little writing got done at it; most people hadn't planned to come and write, which amazed me. Writing in a group is my favorite part of the gatherings. I came home, studied a section of physics and then read all of Louise's Bleach Manga and 10 of her Kenshin Manga before I fell asleep. This morning there was more physics studying, a little hermit crab time (Klinger loves to burrow), and then I went out and wrote again, did something complicated with getting supper, getting rid of the car, and getting on a bus, and got back home by 7. I have to study physics tonight and I have to do physics homework tonight so I am going to go get my jacket and then walk down to where we had the study group meeting last time. Hopefully someone will be there by then and will let me in so I can try and comprehend what's going on and get started on the homework. It's a pity I have a physics test this week because I gave some serious thought to the dragon aspect of my nano story and things are starting to make sense. And click. Which is what I've been waiting for but despite that I can't let myself write. I have to focus on class. I have spanish homework and a lab write up due monday and I should finish my physics homework so that I can ask Will questions and practice for the exam on Tuesday, instead of being worried about the homework. The question is: what will win? My determination or my procrastination? I hope my determination wins. I want an A in physics this semester. I want to know and learn and understand, and not sit around going 'huuuuun?' in class all the time. *sigh* |

Stories I'm currently working on. | |

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited) ***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel) ***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage) ***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit) ***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series) ***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly) ***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys) ***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting) ***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang) ***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!) | |

It hurt a lot for me, too, to have to drop a class. It's better to take fewer classes and concentrate on doing well in them than it is to spread yourself too thin.
March of the Penguins = cute.
I'm sorry I didn't get to see much of you tonight! Don't fret about your Nano, it will all come together. Just keep jotting down your ideas as they come and when your Physics test is over you'll have the opportunity to sit down and dig in.
Peace, babe
PS, I'm now going to blog it up at my blogger account (this one), because OD sucks and is generally boring. So you should leave me notes there.
