I know it's by my own doing that I'm constantly running back and forth between studios and computer labs and the gym and home all the time, but I feel like I shouldn't be relaxing anymore at all EVER because it is the fourth week of school, meaning next week is the fifth week, which means A THIRD of the semester will be over and I need to finish my portfolio and letters of intent and go downtown to give it all in and driving lessons and AGAAAGH.

Also, Exhibition Project (the course in which we build the graduation show) is totes kicking my ass right now.  Aside from the growing frenzy of activity - hence the running back and forth between studios - I find out yesterday that I only got 78% on my proposal.  78% may not be a low grade for most people, but since it was essentially a writing and formatting assignment I was bloody pissed off because I'm supposed to be good at that, damnit. 

Carmen: Here, have this shiny proposal I wrote.  It even has pictures because apparently my teachers don't use the internet so they don't know what steampunk is even when I explain it in words. 8D
Proposal: There are no headings.
Carmen: ...what?
Proposal: There should be headings for the introduction, 2D, and 3D sections.
Carmen: The introduction in at the beginning, there can be no mistake.  Besides, every other teacher I've ever had in my life always stopped me from writing headings.
Proposal: Well I wanted them even thought I never actually told you so, SO HAVE A 78%.
Carmen: That's higher than 75% but lower than 80%!  NOOOOOOOO.

STORY OF MY LIFE.  No, not really, but still.  Totally ruined my mood for the rest of the day/ probably today too.  I am doing that thing where I am angry all the time now.  It's bad.  It makes me loud and obnoxious and urges me to lambast the music other people are listening to.  S'not good.

But yeah, at least I'm keeping busy most of the time now, except for when I'm eating protracted lunches while reading some Joyce Carol Oates like a crazy mofo.

Also, I realized while writing this that I have way too much Breaking Benjamin on my mp3 player, a fact which came to my attention just now while I was skipping past like seven of their tracks.  But I like them, so whatever.

Okay, enough of my whining.

Mini gaming rant: GYAKUTEN KENJI IN 7 DAYS, GAIZ.  ALSO, BAYONETTA IS REALLY FUN AND ASDFGHJKL I'M IN LOVE WITH BAYONETTA LIEK WHOA. 

The only consolation for the horror of learning to drive is the fact that I will not be obligated to drive ever again after I get my license.

I HATE DOING RESEARCH IN FRENCH, THERE'S SOMETHING STUPID ABOUT ME THAT MAKES IT REALLY HARD.

ASDFGHJKLFFFFFFFF.

"Is writing 'desire to defend the innocent' too corny to write on a personal statement when applying to law?"

Yes, Carmen.  Yes it is.

I think my proposal is finished.

...I think I can GET BACK TO MY LIFE now.

Can you say "Carmen will be making steampunk artwork during the whole semester?" =D

SOMEBODY WRITE MY PROPOSAL FOR ME.

PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING.

*GOES TO DIE SOMEWHERE*

CHAPTER 78 OF OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB JUST BROKE MY HEART.

ALSO, I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.  INCLUDING WRITING MY PROPOSAL/ LETTERS OF INTENT/ PERSONAL STATEMENT.

ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS PLANNING SOMETHING INVOLVING MY ADDRESS AND SHE WON'T TELL ME WHAT.

*cough*

( Semi-creative use of scanner grain desu~ ) 

In other news, I'm going to be officially old in less than four hours. >_o

VIC.  VIC.  VIC VIC VIC.

VIC MIGNOGNA IS GOING TO BE AT OTAKUTHON IN AUGUST.

HOLY CRAP, DUDES.  VIC MIGNOGNA.

I AM FREAKING OUT. 

So I just applied to that Computation Arts major I wanted, along with a Computer Science degree with a Computer Games option with a minor in Film Animation, and plain ol' BCompSci.  I also plan to apply for a law degree as soon as I get some information from my references.

That means I have two submit two portfolios, two letters of intent, one personal statement, one transcript copy, and two reference letters.

...I think I might be stupid, I dunno.

This morning, my dad asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday on Tuesday.

And I was like I'LL BE TWENTY IN TWO DAYS.

I DUN WANNA. D8

So according to The Gender Genie, when I write in the first person, I sound female, but when I write in the third person, I sound male.

It makes sense?  Maybe?  IDK?

Anyway, try it with your stuff.  It's fun. XD

I had better remember all this HTML stuff the second time around, because it's taking FOREVER to learn it all again.

But yeah, progressing on my portfolio presentation.  It's kinda sexy when it's not, you know, kicking my ass with the coding.

Drew this ages ago, but I only just realized it's good enough to put on the net. X'D



Seeeeeeth~<3

HOW DO I WRITE AN ART PROPOSAL? D8

*fetal position*

Imperfect Imperfect Imperfect Imperfect Imperfect must write more Imperfect law school law school law school aw man why am I doing this PORTFOLIO PORTFOLIO CRAP I HAVE TO FINISH MY PORTFOLIO HAVE TO MAKE FOUR MORE PIECES IN LESS THAN A MONTH SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT

edit: ALSO, BILLY JOEL

I finally updated Imperfect after maybe 5 months or so.  It's all Megumi's fault!  CURSE YOU LITTLE BUGGER FOR GAINING MORE AND MORE COMPLEXITY AS THE CHAPTERS GO BY. D8

I'm kidding.  Complexity is a good thing.  Tell your friends.

brb going back to doing actual work now

GO ON, GUESS.

( Also, I bought this totally cute little figure of Ciel-kun~ )

Oh, and the idea of going into law is becoming more and more appealing by the minute.  I just may be in love. 

I've decided to apply to law.

For as long as I can remember, I've had a certain fascination for law and court proceedings, but I never really thought about it as a career choice until recently.  I'll still be applying for computation arts and computer science, but right now a law degree just seems like the way to go, you know?  When I think about it after having spent the evening reading over the application and course information of the law school I want to go for, it just feels right.

Having said that, I'm going to have to bust my ass twice as hard to complete both sets of applications.  That includes an art portfolio and letter of intent on one end, and an essay underlining why I am worthy to be admitted to a law school on the other.  Also, I need to run around asking my teachers/former teachers for references and proof-reading.  Fun tiems.

It'll be an immense challenge, but definitely not a waste, I think.  I can totally see myself standing in court as a lawyer wearing fancy, frilly clothing reminiscent of a certain prosecutor I will not mention.

Also, I saw one of my best friends today, and I bought a quill!  GOOD TIEMS, Y/Y?
