It really sucks when you spend all weekend working on homework and actually doing things (instead of procrastinating) and yet when the weekend is over it feels like you've got nothing done yet. Turned in Physics homework with the last two integrals kind of piddly squat done. *kicks them* I really need to spend an hour every night practicing integrals, but let's see me fit THAT into my schedule. ugh. We did get told, however, that to do extra problems (and turn them in) means extra homework points. woo. AND the test next week *is* take home after all! joy!! *poings around a bit, calms* I'm sure it will be truly evil but maybe I will be able to use an integral table for it and things might work out better. I haven't had supper yet (and it is now 8:15) and I won't until I get home tonight. That will probably be a big headache. I thought my URS presentation went well but apparently I don't have a research question. Like, really. so apparently that translates into I'm not really doing research. Which is kind of depressing, and I don't know entirely how I'm going to do a presentation on any of this stuff. Especially since Peter and the Lab seems to think doing research without a question is okay. And for physics maybe sometimes it is. But... bah... I don't know. *kicks it* Cried over it, feel like a fool, tried to pass myself off as having a cold but didn't work well. I tutored today and apparently I still retain some of my skills from my intro and high school courses, because I could break things into vectors and I managed to figure out one of those problems with a mass attached to a string hanging over the edge of something and attached to a cart on a ramp and blahblahblah. I really, really want to be writing, quite badly. I want to develop more of Xiraya, and I think I know how to do it--through various scenes of her with Ilviras. Ilviras (and the reader) is not supposed to know much about Xiraya before he unbinds her from Pandemonium, but I think these little flashback things will really help explain stuff about her, as he saw her through their communications. I believe he met her, originally, for a demonic culture class (since all three planar beings are relatively equal, though partially alien in appearances to one another. I don't know whether or not to make their planes separate dimensions, or just different parts of an interesting world) and he stayed in contact with her up until The Incident which resulted in him getting pissed off enough to agree to free her--with some restrictions. Freeing her is not the same sense as 'loosing a terrible evil on the world' as they describe freeing demons in most other novels. It breaks her 'tail,' the strand that binds her to Pandemonium and that makes her most of a demon--everything else is really just learned. And when she's free, she has the ability to shape shift, to choose her shape, whether to be demon or not (which is slightly more freedom than demons, who can choose between their humanish form and their sheer animalish form only. she has relatively infinite shape control). Bah. but I still have a lot to do tonight. I need to do Karate to work off some steam. *hammers on things* Shower Set up hair appointment apply for apartment mail my scholarship look into the next REUs/scholarships AND read/take notes for medieval studies and psych search for psych papers/specifying information take math notes to catch up and try those gods blasted extra math problems. If I could do all that tonight (well, maybe not the apartment thing and the hair appointment place isn't even open but I could decide where I was going) I think I would feel like I got a lot done. And I would like that. Of course there's always more to do. Can't wait for Thursday--my first software class! installing hardware, etc for PCs. woowooo! and, of course, firefly. Man, I want to procrastinate badly. (that's probably why I'm still here, on the computer, and not with my math book chugging away at my homework). Why do I feel so weak sometimes? I just want to give up on physics and do english or history, which I think I might do well. But *talking* about science and *learning* about science has always appealed to me. Math however has begun to frighten me, and my profs don't appear willing to make it any easier. I wish there was just a simple answer, a simple way out--I wish I was really, really, really good at one thing so I'd know where I was going definitely. Can I do physics? I think I can, and I hate letting myself doubt. But when the prof pulls stuff like these fucking integrals that we're supposed to be able to get, it's hard to tell. (PS I haven't read my comics in a while. sorry about the unupdated links and all. This whole life thing getting in the way ;)) |

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!) | |
