Professor: "Ms. Carlson, could you please demonstrate shoulder adductio----"

Professor: O_O ...
(insert witty title here)

I'm taking 18 credits, plus 16 hours of work, per week. If you add class time to work time, I'm working 36 hours, and am expected to do another ~15 hours of studying/homework per week. So a 50 hour work week, roughly. Did I mention all my classes start at 9am or earlier, and that on four school days I work until midnight? I make our school's version of McFlurries/Blizzards, so I'm covered in ice cream, and need to shower and do some work before bed. So very little sleep, on top of it.

FML

But, on a positive note, I finally got a diagnosis on my right thigh and lower back (both have been bothering me for a while with nerve-type pain). Apparently, my butt isn't strong enough, and my Iliotibeal band (the muscle that runs from just below your knee, up the outer side of the thigh to the pelvis and lower back) has been forced to compensate. So, the IT band basically got worn out and pissy (for which I find myself feeling surprisingly sympathetic), so it decided to have a b**ch fit. This made the nerves upset, and now everything in my leg and lower back has gone a bit haywire. Fortunately, 3 hours of physical therapy per week will help whip my leg (and a$$) back into shape. Did I mention that I have to do an hour of exercises at home every day, as well? I'm already terminally uncoordinated, so I'm living in fear of one of the exercises, which involves doing a sideways crab-walk with a pilates band tied around my ankles.

So I guess in summary, if work or school doesn't kill me, my physical therapist will, so at least I won't be suffering much longer.
I jest, I jest; but it really is getting to be very stressful. I don't have time to do photography anymore, and there's barely any time to even sketch, but hopefully soon I'll be able to scrounge up some free time to relax.

AH! I also have a new apartment! My first one! I share it with my best friend, Sing (we're like sisters, it works out really well). It's awesome, especially since we have a washer and dryer. Since last August I've officially lost and kept off 40 pounds. I've also split from my boyfriend, permanently this time, and I feel really good about it. It was stressful at the time, but I actually didn't stay upset much longer than 1-2 hours. I really don't have the time to waste on being depressed, anyway. Regardless, since I'm not upset, it was probably time for a change, so now I'm single again! Sing (the roommate) gave me a card when she got home later that night that made my day. It said, "Dear Kate, Happy Break-Up! Now you can start sleeping with someone who has a job! Sincerely, Sing <3", and had a cupcake painted on it.

It has seriously made my entire month. Thanks, sis.

Anyhow, that's how I've been doing. Sorry that it's ranty, but I really needed to get it off my chest.
Hope anyone that reads this is doing well! Drop me a line (or comment) if you feel so inclined; I'd like to know how you guys are doing too!

Love, Kate

Anyhow, to all of you that I saw there, I hope you had fun! I have to really do a good job at work now though, since I spent quite a bit on souvenirs... Oh well, it only comes once a year!

My biggest find was a 4" stuffed chocobo in a moogle costume. It's ADORABLE. I may post a pic later, if anyone wants to see it.

Have been busy with work, and trying to figure out cosplay outfits for myself and my boyfriend to wear at the Kumoricon. Anyone else going?

I'm thinking I'll be Link from Ocarina of Time, or Yuna from FFX/X-2. I haven't decided yet. I'm going for two days, so maybe both...? Joe wants to be Squall from FFVIII. It's gonna be fun!

The eye is doing better, though it still acts up towards the end of the night. Bleh. I want to go see the movie Bruno, also. Has anyone seen it? It looks funny to me, but... commercials can be misleading XD

And mentally, I was like... "f*ck."
It could be serious.

Saw the optho. He told me I needed a refraction (the test where they determine your correction needed for your eyes, the one with all the lenses. "which is better? 1....or 2....?" blar blar blar.)

I curiously asked the tech what my correction was in my good eye, knowing that before it had been a puny .5 prescription, while my bad eye had been 1.25.
Nurse: "...well, I determined from the test that the best correction for that eye at the moment is...1.0..... but I couldn't actually get you to 20/20...."

And mentally, I was like... "motherf**king SH*T!!!!!!"
Something was really wrong. The eye was seeing blurry in close and distant objects, and anything emitting light had a halo around it, as if I had water or something opaque in my eye.

After an exam, the doctor told me it was either Kerititis, a build of of Keratin (protein) from my contacts, or an acute viral infection that would soon jump to my other eye. At least, those were the two likely culprits. Thankfully, the treatment is the same for both. Steroids, directly in the eye.

Now I get to put this milky crap in my eyes four times a day. Bleah. Also, I have to go back to the doc's in a week to check in, and I haven't seen any improvement after 3 days...
It's sucky, and scary, and I hate it. My fam is notorious for having genetic eye problems, so I try to take care of my eyes, but...

I guess I've failed.
Oh well. At least I got hours at work this week.

Hope everyone's doing okay. Happy summer!

Well, maybe not. But at least I'm having fewer medical problems. I've now had 3 major surgeries, a few smaller ER procedures, probably about a hundred doctor's visits, and a few ER trips. And some scars too, so at least I'm badass.
All the bedrest made me gain weight, and it seemed that as my weight increased, so did my problems, so I've focused really hard for the last three terms, and have managed to still do decently in school, lose 35 pounds, and not have any more hospitalizations.
It's been a long road, but I'm back in commission, and have free time again. My latest fun thing was a battle with bronchitis brought on by a summer cold that I caught during finals week in June. It was exacerbated by my allergies and asthma. I had no voice, and couldn't swallow anything other than liquids. They put me on a burst of Prednisone (a corticosteroid). Pred makes you have insomnia, mood swings, and also makes you incredibly energetic (read: hyper). I was on it for ten days. However, it also produces miracles. I had my voice back and was no longer in pain 30 minutes after I took the first dose .
As I learned today, though, miracle drugs do have terrible consequences. I may have lost some of my visual acuity in each of my eyes, mostly the left. I now have an urgent appointment with my eye doctor to confirm exactly what the problem is. Oh, well. Nothing that a new lens prescription won't fix .

I hope everyone's healthier than I have been; let me know how things have been going!

I have my own bathroom, but I didn't even know I had a shower the first time I inspected the room. The door opens inward to the bathroom, and the shower is so tiny that the door blocks it. O.O Anyhow, there is much more decorating to be had. If I have more time later I'll take pics and upload some.
Loves!

Either way, I'm really glad that there are my consistent supporters. You know who you are, and I'm always so happy to know you look at my body of work. I hope that someday, I'll start getting critique from more people so I can learn from my mistakes.

Any stories about improving without help? Or tips? I'd love to hear them.

Thanks for listening to my venting~!

PS: HAPPY UPCOMING CINCO DE MAYO!!! (Knowing me, I'll totally forget to post a journal, so... yeah XD)

I got a warm neck wrap, a radio, and all the Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide) I could ever want. Man that stuff is good.
My boyfriend also had to go into the dentist today, for a whopping 7+ fillings! O_O Apparently the hygienists were prepared to give him a parafin wax hand treatment (normally given at spas, lol).
I have heard in recent years that dentists offices, in order to beat the painful stigma, have started to offer more pleasantries and extra services.

In other news, I have a class called "American Crime and Punishment". It is amazing. I have about 4 hours of true crime reading a night, every single day; however, it's a strictly discussion class, and there are no papers, midterms or final. Just a quick reading quiz at the beginning of discussion. Other than that, I'm healing well from surgery, and am starting to figure out how I can lose the weight I gained during the ordeal.

I hope everyone is doing well!

...


Lol, this was basically the last (hrrmmm...) 5 months for me. Right after my last journal entry, I actually found out I had a cyst on my tailbone! Imagine that! I never knew I had one before, but it was really clear that there was something wrong when I could no longer sit through college lectures because of the pain.
Not to be overly dramatic of course, but the whole experience has been... interesting. I had to have my first procedure at the end of October. It was a fairly minor outpatient ER visit. Unfortunately, the minor outpatient procedure took 6 hours, 5.5 of which were spent with me laying by myself in a room listening to a dude yell out obscenities (he was a local man with untreated menal illness that wandered into the ER). After that, they sent me home with anti-nausea meds to combat the effects of the antibiotics.
I thought... "hmmm. I don't think i want to do this again. Let's get it removed!"
It was supposed to be a fairly minor surgery, but in fact it didn't heal, so I spent all of winter break in bed and on my bum. After that much laziness, I really wanted to get back to work and back to school (and also back to photography!!) Unfortunately, the lack of healing forced me into another surgery in early January, after I ended up in the ER during the weekend (oddly enough, they stuck me in the padded room.... I'm still slightly suspicious... >.>; ) Now, as I lay in bed, I ponder my fate. I might have to have another surgery (#3) so I'm not fantasically excited. If I have to, I won't be able to do spring term of school, and I won't be able to work. It's really bad. If I miss Japanese 103, I'll have to wait until next spring to continue the program.

Anyhoo, that was a crazy mondo rant. I hope everyone that's ever read my journal is doing well, especially my crazy awesome Sheldon buddies!! You know who you are!

I'm hoping to submit some work soon, but we'll see. Even I have certain standards, lol. XD

Not shocking to any of you who have read my previous journals. I'm a bio major with a japanese minor. We'll see how long that holds. I'm actually considering graphic design and decorating now, so any input would be nice. It's good to be back! I look forward to browsing through all of my friends' new work!~Kate

I've been on very little and haven't had much time for my photography *cries* but now I'm BACK (from outer space? O3O lolz) and better than before, and hopefully will get my ass on track once i've managed to finish the exams (that's monday, if you wondered.) anyhow, today I survived the Eng Lit test, and tomorrow's US history. Monday will be fun though: ap biology <3 *grins*
at any rate, I need to do a bit of cramming, so off to bed with me! Best of wishes to everyone and I hope y'all are doing fine. Wish me luck, lol!

I just can't believe it. You never know how limp something can be until you feel a body that you had once felt alive. The tautness and rigidity of her muscles had already waned, and this was the final stage of her release into the afterlife, if there is one.
She was my only friend in my early childhood, and though I grew apart from her, she always stayed with me when I needed her and was infinitely patient. I could learn many lessons from her, and I'll miss her dearly. She was an important part of my life that I took for granted, and this has served as a reminder to me of how fleeing life can be. I'll try to live to the fullest from now on, but right now it's difficult to cope with the pain of so many bad things happening in a short amount of time.

Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself"

People who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well and state this rule clearly.

In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their deviant page comments and tell them to read yours...

1. I'm completely right-handed with the only exception that I can write Kanji (japanese characters) with either hand.
2. I haaaate spiders, but can stand most other insects. (example, the month long fruitfly lab I kept ranting about. loved those flies.)
3. If I'm nervous I chew on stuff. By stuff, I mean generally anything more or less hygenic in the area: hair, nails, skin, lips, other people's appendages, writing utensils, etc...
4. I procrastinate. I can't STAND to do anything earlier than the day before it's due unless it's a project that I really enjoy or am interested in.
5. I'm antisocial by nature, but when I'm around people I suddenly turn social. I don't know why. It's weird. I'm perfectly happy being by myself for days on end, but when I'm exposed to other life, I suddenly turn into a mild socialite. (though this has become less true ever since I started dating my boyfriend, Joe )
6. There are only 4 things I won't eat: anything that processes or has been processed in an animal; sweet pickles; insects; hot peppers.

I'm tagging:

...what, you wanted more news than that? waited for yer computer to load just for this? the INJUSTICE OF IT ALL! O_O lol, sorry, but I'm just so exhausted recently. I think it's an epidemic in high schoolers... I've got seriously bad senioritis- I procrastinate, avoid work, and generally ignore my teachers during class. the ACTUAL news flash is later, so read on (or scroll to the bottom, lazy brats! )
Don't get me wrong- I love school! it's just that I think that current society pressures students too much these days.... rarely do I have a good block of time to myself... I have to divide my time between my friends, family, boyfriend and schoolwork (the latter unfortunately demands the most attention T_T )
I hope that some others from my age bracket that watch me decide to respond to this, because I'm curious how other achivement-pressured students there are.... the more my parents pressure me, the less inclined I am to actually do the work at hand. nifty, huh?
on other notes, I've learned (again. I forgot ) how to play Mao! yay! I was playing with some girlfriends, guyfriends, and boyfriend, and it was hysterical because someone introduced the rule that we had to say something explicit to anyone else when you play
a heart, and that you throw a card and angrily rant at someone when playing a club. It was so freaking fun. I also won at chess today with a more experienced player, which was cool. I only started playing a few weeks ago, so I'm pretty thrilled. Also, I've had a little time to draw (although I can't say the same for my photography, unfortunately) so maybe I'll upload more lineart!

Anyway, I hope everyone out there is doing well and all that jazz. If anyone has any requests or anything for photography or drawing, I would be happy to try doing it, so just either comment or send me a note! (thus, the actual news flash )

Rant is done!

well kind of
:rotfl:
I'm still cracking up
I would think I would be depressed, but this is so freaking funny, I really don't care

So, I get a message from fellow deviant second-harvest , and it has, in shy little words, the message "Sorry, I sat on my mouse while eating a peanutbutter sandwhich.... "
...
I was lauging for about five minutes
It was so cool.
Anyway, wanted to correct that I've probably got around 40 ish views on it, based on how many there were a few hours after I posted it and the difference between then and now.

anyway, eventually I hope that I can have nearly that many views on one deviation, but until then I'm content just providing art for myself

to everyone (especially second-harvest )

it says that Droplet #2 got 305 views. in one day.

OMFZ.



If this is for real... then I'm completely amazed, blown away, and completely appreciative but... right now I'm kind of in shock... o.O anyway, thanks for all the views, those of you who may have been responsible... I'm really happy that so many people bothered to take a look at my photography...

anyway, thank you

and...

yes, my flies are still doing well they're hatching quite nicely. The co-dominance part of the dihybrid cross I've recently learned is the Bar' eyed kidney bean trait. so yea. And i think it may be sex linked and only teh men have it.
but we'll see.

They're finally here! My baby cross-breeds have hatched into full-fledged di-hybrid recessive co-dominant mutants I'm... so happy... >_< It was so hard to figure out the co-dominance bit, but the recessive ebony gene is fo' sho'. I'm totally giddy.
In other news, I've been real bad about checking DevWatch since i've been gone for the weekend and busy with school. I'll try to do better, but my tendency is to just visit y'all's individual galleries and just check for cool stuff there, because it saves time (until i get a paid account for christmas and activate the thumbnail function )

at any rate--- less crappy pics to come! I will be getting a new specialized camera before I hit 1000 pageviews!!! That was kind of my goal... 1000 pvs, then I get myself a new cam to celebrate, but I may not have to wait that long with the holidays approaching Then again, I've got so much craft stuff to do now... for presents and such, but thankfully my photography will serve well for presents within the family... just have to think of something for friends and... well yea so at any rate, just wanted to do my habit of thanking people for their favourites (although I'm pretty caught up! 8D I can't believe it. I usually procrastinate on that... )

Um. so methinks that's all for now.... ya, so I'll just... you know... go over here .... and take care of teh 1337 flies of d00m.... o.O

Got some good pics the other day but have been too busy to process them... maybe tonight a little later, but I'm thinking that i may have a cold. so I may just sleep.

The actual essay:

Oh. My. GOD! 1000 views! I can't believe it! I know most other deviants have way more views and started at the same time, but photography is a relatively new skill for me, therefore I am in total shock. I'm really pleased that so many people (or so few who visited multiple times?) bothered to look in my gallery. I really appreciate all of the comments and support I've gotten! hugs for everyone!
On a different note, I'll be trying to actually post some of my line sketches at least fairly soon, although the hectic nature of my life at this moment may prevent it.
A big thank you to those that responded to my pleas for advice regarding a new camera!!! You know who you are!
As anyone who's watched me for a while knows now, I tend to upload deviations in spurts of 3-4. I'm trying to stop this, because I know how bad it sucks when suddenly your devwatch counter goes from 7 new deviations to 43 in seven minutes (o.O this has happened to me 2 or 3 times I always panic) So I'll try to do one at a time once every other day or so. Also, I've gotten behind on thanking people for s and s . I promise, I WILL leave you a note, but this is going to be my generic thanks to everyone.
Okay, I'm done ranting now. ^^ Now I need to finish my Stanford Application!

Skip to the second song, and record it (the title) as the answer to the first question you wrote. Continue skipping around through your songs and look at the song titles in relation to the question. Some answers work, others don't, but overall, it can be entertaining to record your thoughts on the answers. Looking back at some of my reactions, I got a big laugh but also was very embarrassed at my music choices. Now I've redone it, and will post some highlights to show what it will generally look like. Some I did it twice, and I did twenty questions a friend came up with.

Can (anyone) ever really love me?

"The Celts" - Enya
The Celts can still stand me. Now, are we talking about the race or the baseball team...?
"Look to your orb for warning"- Monster magnet
Yes, but they’ll attack me, matrix style. Thankfully, I’ll have my orb to warn me. Oh wait, I pawned that old piece of crap years ago....

What's going to happen to me this week?
"Dragula” - Rob Zombie
Hrm. Either I’m getting hitched up to the back of the LuvTruck by French people or I’m going to be attacked by a transvestite vampire.

How will I change the world?
"Exorcist Theme" -
Is it just me, or is being possessed by the devil a very depressing way to change the world..?
"Hustler’s Ambition"- 50 Cent
Because I’m definitely ambitious, and, you know, I’m a gambling, swindling slut.

How will I die?
"Die Another Day" - Madonna
Apparently, not today! Thanks, Madge.
"We close our eyes"- Allister
No, the first responder does. Or the embalmer. Or the police. They’ll get em shut, one way or another. Crap, now I don’t want to go to sleep.
Crap, now I don’t want to go to sleep.

Describe your diet.
"Burns Attack" - Oakenfold
I’ve got a predilection for extra-EXTRA crispy!!! “You call that well-done?? It’s still BROWN!!!!”
“So cold”- Breaking Benjamin
I’ve love icy stuff. Chilled brain, Mr Jones?’ll get em shut, one way or another.

Would I make a good lover?
"Your Ex-lover is dead"- Stars
No, but I make an EXCELLENT hit man. And I’m vengeful.

What do people think of me?
"Santa Cruz" -Fatboy Slim
Fat Man in red+ Hot spanish woman=... geek in sweats staring at computer.

How does my sex life look?
"Progressive House" - Mo-shic
What?
"You ruined Everything"- Tokyo Rose
Ouch. I can see it now..."It’s not you, it’s me. No, wait. Actually, it is you, not me. Peh, it’s your own fault that you taunted my dog too much."

What is my best quality?
"I can’t Feel You"- Beborn Beton
I’m glad this didn’t come one song earlier. Although, this could be just as sad.

Is everything really going to be alright in the end?
“Come out and Play”- The Offspring
That would be reassuring, except that it’s really not. It’s like what George Bush was thinking when we went to war with terrorists.

How can I achieve my highest potential?
"Ready Steady Go" - Paul Oakenfold
I guess nonstop activity can lead to high potential, but it also leads to eventual collapse.
“DARE”- Gorillaz
Oh I WILL. I'm sure my last words will be “Hey, watch THI— aw, shit—“

What kind of person am I?
"Imaginary" - Evanescence
What in hell--? Huh. I really didn’t think so, but why not? That makes it easier to contemplate my life. Woo!

How's tomorrow going to be for me?
"Drop me in the Middle" - Natasha Bedingfield
This is normal for my cell phone. ]]> ~sirius-altair http://sirius-altair.deviantart.com/journal/9028536/ http://sirius-altair.deviantart.com/journal/9028536/ Sat, 10 Jun 2006 14:04:21 PDT ]]> ~sirius-altair
