Oh wait, I just did.

Everything is awesome, except the work load. That pretty much sucks. If you think highschool is bad, I laugh at you. Ha HAHA! They should make a month of university mandatory for grade 12 students, so they can get the work ethic, and then thank their high school teachers for assigning such easy assignments.

In three hours, we learned everything about wave lengths we did in highschool, and then some. It was fun.

Res is awesome, and being able to take a five hour block of time to get an assignment done is great. Supper/dishes always interupted it before.

Oh, and the school beaucracy is pretty dumb. They think I am a dishonoranable theif.

I've meet a lot of cool people. A guy called Protic is in all my classes, so we hang out a lot. And gasp fairviewites, he's not white!!!!!

I was in a dorm with 5 asians and another white guy, doing an EngG 130 assignment. (Check out my cool class code. It makes outsiders feel inadaquite to take a course they can't even understand the name of. Yay for three dimention vectors. (They actually suck a lot.))

It is now 2:00 (class starts at 11:00 on wednesdays, mom) I must go to bed. (In my very cool room.)

(If you look at the dates of my other journals, expect another one in two months.)

Oh ya, I have a chem midterm on thursday, and I've only been here a month.

For an illustrator newb like me, it is amazing, especially since I was recently looking at something like the project they made in the tutorial and thinking it would take a whole lot of work with the InDesign pen tool, which is what I mostly use. This tutorial is so full of information, it's amazing.

If you don't know, you can get cool new fonts here: fonts.com
I recommend browsing through the top 100 fonts. I found and Old English font, a pen and ink font and a wild west font. I had to look online to figure out how to install them, but you just have to go to the control menu/appearances and themes/ and in the side bar there will be a fonts folder (In windows xp) You can drag the true type files in there, and a window will pop up showing you installation progress. It takes a second.

In other news, exams are creeping up on me. It is most annoying.

Lately, I've been caught up in school and the approaching finals. I hope to get back to doing artistic things this summer, because Im going to be the camp photographer at Camp Sagitawa in British Columbia. I also have some pictures I took but didn't have time to edit. There is no internet at the camp, so I'm hoping to start submitting at the beginning of next school year. Until then, I'm going to lurk a bit.

I downloaded the POV-Ray 3D graphic engine (or whatever it's called) and the Wave Pad sound editor. I'm going to play with thoes a bit too. Is there some way to submit songs to DA? I have something that's sort of cool that I made for english.

Wow, that's jumbled.

By the by, I now have massive amounts of homework after missing two days of school. Anyone else hate trig identities?

The designs are in my scraps, if you want to see it. If she posts pictures of it like she usually does, I'll link them here. It arrived today, and was exactly what I had asked for. The only fault I can find is that the paint wasn't think enough in a few spots on the blade, and wood shows through a bit. Anything else wrong is the result of it traveling over seas, and can be quickly fixed. The next paragraph is me gushing about how cool it is. Skip it if you wish.

I have big hands, but the handle is big enough to be comfortable. It's also the first example of sword handle wrapping that I have seen, so I'll have fun trying to duplicate it. The balance is perfect, being right where the hilt meets the handle. Somehow, the hilt is the prefect size, although I didn't give her one. The blade is wider than I imagined, but that's good. The colors are great and it's the right diameters.

If you ever need some cosplay stuff (she doesn't just do swords), you should at least get a quote from her.

I personally like [link] as I had just learned how to make paper stars when I read it. (It's also well written)

[link] is intresting as well.

In other notes, I just finished my Physics 30 final. Now I can forget about particle wave duality, because it's dumb...

This book os really cool. It's called The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers. There is a lot of cool stuff in it. While it doesn't go into any of the theory, it gives a lot of fun/neat stuff to do. Some of the stuff in it is really simplistic, but it contained a chapter on Adobe Bridge, which is an uber photo organizing tool. If you have it and you don't use it, please at least spend an hour figuring out how it works. Then you can go back to ignoring it if you want to

Oh ya. My mom went to Manitoba for a week, and I stayed home because I couldn't miss a week of school. I have the house all to myself (Excluding my brother, because he stays upstairs all day.)

I stuck all the plans in my scraps, so if you have a burning desire to check out a mis-proportioned sword, go check it out.

In other news, I have an semi-unit test tomorrow in Math 30 on trig. It sucks slightly.

We're learning about WWII in social right now. Apparently, Hitler was a douche.

I asked her if she had an account after I saw this guy she had drawen on a random paper. It turns out we have quite a bit in common. Anyway, that's what happened, if lacking in any sort of flow or train of thought. I should rewrite this when I'm not tired.

With the mood thing not working, I just pick random ones.

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I changed tennis shoes at the Hare Krishna graduation and I saw you carve your initials into Bill Clinton. I'm sure you're scarred enough to understand that Extreme Home Makeover sucks. I'm returning your contact book to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory. You should also know that I never openly mocked a new life as a clone.

Go burn,

That was the first thing I checked, and there is a rather large forum devoted to this software. It will put a short cut on your desktop that starts a program than makes a little box appear on your screen. You can drag any .flv (the internet video format) videos into it, and it will play them. I'm particularly interested in getting the Pure Pwnage episodes downloaded, so I don't have to steam them (which takes a really long time) every time I want to play them.

On another note, I just realized that the Google toolbar has a spell checker built into it. Now there is no reason for me to switch to FireFox and learn a new system. Yay! (Notice the error free-ness?)

In other news, I found this quote on a players profile Tribal Wars. I thought it was neat.

"The good fighters of old, first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy." Sun Tzu

Someone who was planning it was really stupid. I have gone previous years, complaining all the while, but this year I didn't. I was staying home to study. Well, it turns out that my cousins birthday is was today also. It was just assumed that I would go to that also. We left at 1 and didn't get back until 11:30 pm! I have to get up at 9:30 tommorow to go to church. I brought my books to my grandparent's house, where the party was, but I fell asleep because I only got 8 hours the night before and needed like 10 or something from not getting enough sleep over the week. So now I have to go to bed in two hours, and I haven't even updated my tribesw account, which I check every day, and it takes a while. Sigh. /rant

If you read all that, good for you. I don't really care. I wroter this because I want to be reminded that I am not going ANYWHERE next exam weekend, except to church for 2 hours.

I also just realized that with the end of school, my access to photoshop and indesign will be cut off too. I guess I'll have to save up money and buy them myself

Today the student's union bought doughnuts and juice for the school. Now I have an abnormally large ammount of sugar in my system.

In other news, the yearbook got some wacom bamboo fun tablets. If you don't know this already, I work on the yearbook with the yearbook "club". (I should start submitting my pages here...) The only thing about it is that the yearbook admin is being all fussy and not letting me set the preshure settings on the tablet to something that is comftorable to me. As a result, I have to push super hard to get the stupid photo shop brush to the full size I want, and not have the line I'm drawing change size. It's really annoying. It's like, we buy tablets, and then don't even use them properly. Sigh. /rant.

With the semester over, it seems that a whole school year has passed. They are giving us a break, which I think is to make us sane again after all that studying. A chance to relax and turbo my villages on Tribal Wars.

Anyway, that's what happened today.

Oh ya, my mom left for mexico a few days ago. My brother sister and I are staying at home alone. We haven't torn each other apart yet, so that's a good sign.

There was a big leadership battle this past week, and I am writing up the history of it. It will hopefully be done tomorrow, but probably not until next monday. Sigh. I have to do it soon, while the events are still fresh in everybody's mind. I hope I can write it down fairly and without bias. After I finish it, I'll post it here. I think It will turn out to be a great story, because it's full of backstabbing, betrayal and conflicting view points with everyody thinking they're right in what they did.

P.S. I'm feeling guilty about writing this and not going to sleep on time. Why can't I just remove sleep from my life? It's supossed to be possiable.
