In other news, there was this musical group playing Native American music in FULL COSTUME by the church on South Street today. I could not help but grin to myself, because that in Scotland is something I'd NEVER thought I'd see. It's the little things in life.

Now, I am back in Scotland, and in the midst of exams. I think I kind screwed up the first English essay bigtime... BUT I feel like I remember how to (kinda) do timed essays now. SO. The rest of the exams should turn out alright. THEN, starting this Saturday afternoon, I have THREE beautiful weeks of nothing to enjoy! Huzzaaah. I'm hoping to post here again. We'll see how long my art motivation hangs around. And whether I will want to bother to upload things.

In other news, two friends and I leave on Monday for a cross country road trip. We are taking a somewhat Southern route through VA (Skyline drive, plus Luray Caverns), North Carolina (Asheville), Tennessee (staying with Mamaw and hopefully seeing Graceland and of course the Smokies), Kentucky (Mammoth Cave), Arkansas (Hot Spring National Park), Oklahoma (Umm... We don't really know what we are doing here), New Mexico (Santa Fe) and finally Colorado (Sand Dunes and Denver). I fly back on Monday the 4th.

If you note me your address, I will totally send you a tacky or scenic post card, depending on your personality.

My life is totally stuck in a weird place right now. I have no idea where the hell I'm headed, even within the near future, but I am coming to terms with it. Classes are good, but there is a lot more work this semester. It's a little crazy. I am trying to keep my life balanced, but most of my time is spent either avoiding work (ie wasting away on the internet) or doing work. I want to play WoW more than I have time for... and so my character's leveling has slowed to a crawl. Still, I get on when I can.

Otherwise... I am basically tired all the time, even though I never have to wake up before 9:30 am. Oh well.

Today will be a pretty normal day. I'm dragging around a purple balloon with no helium, and it makes things a little bit sad. But I like balloons, so it's ALL good.

So. 19. And I still have the same question on my mind... Where am I headed?

No worrying today though. I'm just glad this semester is SO CLOSE to ending. Thank god for that. Three weeks, and I'll have six weeks of nothingness stretching before me. That oughta keep me going.

Intro to Astronomy.
French- Written Expressions {is going to kick my butt}.
Intro to Fiction Writing
Drawing
Art History, Renaissance to Modern

Well, I'm happy with that, at least.

The rest of my life is basically one big mess, and I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself. Everything gross basically culminated today... funny how that happens, right? It'll be okay though. I have faith in things working themselves out, eventually. I have to just get to the end of the semester... That's all I'm shooting for now. Then I'll figure it out.

It does not feel like things are neatly tied up, with little bows and pretty wrapping, so I can just move forward. It more feels like I've got my feet tangled in one mess of of stuff, and then another rope tied around my neck and pulling me upwards. And it hurts. I'm hoping that it's just this time between, and the thinking about it that's going to hurt most. And that, once I get there, and get settled, I'll keep in touch with my old life, and my new one.

If past experience counts for much, it's telling me things always turn out better than my pessimistic predictions say they will.

I leave for college on Thursday. When DID this all happen? ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/9395390/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/9395390/ Sun, 16 Jul 2006 13:58:47 PDT ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/9310944/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/9310944/ Sat, 08 Jul 2006 10:55:32 PDT Goucher?" in that tone that can make me feel like shit in .5 seconds.

So, here I am up in Connecticut, doing my senior internship thing. I am working and living at an animal hospital. The woman who I am living with is an old friend of my mother (she is actually damn cool! I get the feeling my mom makes a better friend than mother, and so most of her friends are pretty decent). It's been about two weeks of working so far.

My life has consisted of:

-Living with a house full of animals. 3 dogs, 5 cats, one large sucker fish, 1 tortoise, and about 12 parrots of various kinds.

-Long hours! Lord. 7 am til somewhere between 5 and 6 pm.

-Watching surgeries. I'm working my way up. So far I've only seen minor ones, like neutering and spaying (i can now say I have seen cat ovaries o_o;;.

-Carrying large dogs in body bags to the freezer in the back. Okay, this happened once. BUT it was on the first day and was really scarring. x_x; More than anything.

-Experiencing interesting cases. Dog with congestive heart failure (aahhh... Millie is so cute too!), two cats hit by cars (KEEP THEM INSIDE PEOPLE) one with a a broken pelvis Sparky- the sweetest little orange tabby EVER, and Samantha with a fractured back leg- bone sticking out in two places (she had it taken off yesterday), dachshunds with coughs, dogs with seizures, cat with fur that just PULLED out and peeling skin and welts- this one was put to sleep... ETCETCETC.

-learning to do labwork. lots. lots. lots. of labwork.

-long country rides. ice cream. coffee. baby clothing. (ie bonding with vikki)

-coping with missing people and having no one actually HERE to talk to about it.

I'm sure there is more, but that's all I can think of right now. My mind hurts. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/8584686/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/8584686/ Tue, 25 Apr 2006 18:19:23 PDT
Well, there it is. Eugene Lang tried to pull themselves together and get me a bit more money, but a bit was not near enough. So I'm going to Goucher. I guess I'm getting used to the idea slowly, and (though the long, stressful dream about Goucher I had last night might indicate otherwise) I'm going to be alright. I bounce back quickly, after all. From most things, anyway. I'm sure I'll settle in there just fine, and they have a great study abroad program... so I should be okay. Right now, I'll just have to deal with people asking me why I chose Goucher when I make this information more public amongst the seniors. People dumping on Goucher and other local schools in Senior Room last Wednesday does not bode well. However, I'm trying to look on the bright side. I suck at this, as people know, but I TRY. It's a good school, and a great deal that will result in only a small amount of loaned money to pay off in the end, and I get to see my local friends for another year. As of this moment though, I'm just glad to be free of that anxious waiting stress, and hoping that my stress level will drop a bit. With APs and ISP around the corner though... I'm not feeling very hopeful. Still, school stress does not cause the indigestion and headaches that where-the-hell-am-i-headed stress does. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/8483274/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/8483274/ Sat, 15 Apr 2006 21:26:11 PDT
hrum. college is stressful. basically, it is likely i will end up at goucher, because they are the only decent college in the bunch who gave me money... so yeah. i'm a bit unhappy about this (maybe more than a bit, i guess) because it is 5 miles from my house. x_x;;; UGH. i dunno what the hell is going through my head right now, but it sure as hell is not consistent and simple and at all logical as far as i can tell.

details on other schools and general levels of [in]sanity can be extracted through notes or e-mails, i guess.

I was just tired of seeing the long-winded entry about my experience over break. So I made another entry.

Right now, exams are coming and I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever. And so, I do nothing. And so, I will do badly. But since apathy > lack of motivation, I can't seem to care AT ALL, about ANYTHING.

Even the prospect of college seems rather unexciting, and thus I will not do my apps until two days before the deadlines. Luckily, there are only two more deadlines. So this whole ordeal is only going to happen two more times.

In other news, I am becoming more of a late night person every day. My plans for sleeping in this weekend died when I decided last minute to stay at school...

Ah. I love boarding so much. I wish I could actually be a boarder. It's so much fun and so relaxing.

alright. stopping now. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/7400248/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/7400248/ Sat, 24 Dec 2005 07:42:25 PST
You all ought to know the satisfying feeling of waking up, after having been really sick for a long time, and feeling better. FINALLLY. I FEEL BETTER. And this feeling of joy is made all the more satisfying by the fact that I spent nearly 14 hours at GBMC yesterday.

Being my first real hospital experience (since getting stitches doesn't really count too much) it was all pretty overwhelming, but interesting none the less. The reason that I ended up in the ER in the first place, is because I had this pain in the lower right side of my abdomen start at about 3 am yesterday morning. Unless you are completely clueless about basic medical knowledge, you should be realizing right about now that we thought it could be my appendix. I had the right symptoms: a couple days of flu-like symptoms, loss of appetite, nausea, vomitting... and the pain in the right side of my abdomen. And so, after sitting and trying to convince myself I was imagining things until 5:30 am, I woke my mother up, and vomitted in the bathroom sink. So, after calling the doctor, we ended up leaving for the hospital at 6 am.

I'm not going to tell you about the whole day, because if you actually want to know, you can ask me some other time. Basically, the day entailed:

-1.5 hours in the waiting room
-many hours in the ER on my stretcher bed
-a couple hours in the radiology ward
-1 IV needle in arm
-4 or 5 vials of blood for testing
-a few sips of this nasty orange flavoured dye they were going to use for the CT scan, but I couldn't keep it down, so they gave up
-1 CT scan, complete with IV dye which has the absolute weirdest effect on the human body (you can feel it flowing through)
-4 ultrasounds, 3 regular, and one of the other kinds
-one gynecologist examination
-1 drip IV for hydration
-numerous people poking my abdomen saying, "does it hurt when I do THIS? -jab- how about THIS? -stab-"
- numerous people asking me to put a number to my pains (on a scale of 1-10? WTF????? how does one do this? pain is such an in the moment thing. it's impossible to do this.)
-1 diagnoses of some messed up things (which you can note me about, because I am not posting them on deviantart), but no appendix problems!

Needless to say, we left at 8 pm. It was SUCH a long and exhausting day, but I'm only glad I didn't end up having surgery. Throughout my sickness, which inluded two days of headaches, 2 days of fever and nausea and vomiting, and one day of pretty much all that pain rolled into one (and so much more!), I lost 6 pounds. That's probably because I haven't eaten more than a few bites of solid food since... Tuesday.

BUT, NOW I AM WELL! And so, on the 24th of December, I shall go and I shall get all the presents for everyone in one trip to the Inner Harbor! I am going to make it very stress-free, so I don't get myself sick AGAIN. Because that just was not a fun experience to have over my first week of winter break. But I have so many things to be thankful for, like the fact that I don't have cancer or some other illness which would cause me to live at the hospital... because that environment is so stressful, and none of the different parts of the hospital know who to communicate with one another.

And so Mia's Saga of Illness ends in a happy manner, on Christmas Eve... Just in time. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/7241512/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/7241512/ Tue, 06 Dec 2005 19:06:37 PST
i have 9 college apps, 4 essays (not including those on the apps), 3 tests, as well as the usual amount of busywork, to do in the next two weeks. if you ever see me again, it will be either:

a) in a coffin
b) here, before break begins, after i've given up
c) here, after break begins, after everything is done

so. sorry for lack of stuff. i just need to not die now.

and just so you know, no, i don't plan on sleeping. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/7179626/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/7179626/ Tue, 29 Nov 2005 18:38:39 PST

Thus, I shall be in a car for ten hours today. I have my CD player fresh with batteries, and have packed my conservative funeral outfit. I am fully prepared to be blown away by grief from people who I've never seen remotely upset before. I will return Sunday.

...Thus my potential weekend plans with have once again been foiled. WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER, DAMMIT.

On a positive note, that horrible restless sleep last night which was interrupted by the cat vomitting somewhere in my room (still haven't found it. i will probably discover it fossilized a few years from now), and a subsequent circular thought process of guilt and disappointment as I have never experienced, caused the pipes in the Garrison Forest Upper School to burst.

So... It was Tuesday night, and I was home alone, and in a very good mood. I came onto Devart and I responded to a comment by , and quickly got a reply about flying fruit. I was suddenly stricken by inspiration to draw flying fruit. I was on my way up stairs, to grab something, then thought, why not use OIL PAINT?? So I was totally excited and shit, and then I realised I needed to gesso the effing canvas. I had the still life set up and everything, and ran up to get the gesso. Returning victoriously, I attempted to open the smaller tub of gesso, however, dried paint foiled my plan. It was stuck, and caught up in the heat of the moment, along with the force of inspiration that had hit me, I end up trying to open it with a bit too much joy and the thing slipped, opened and dropped to the floor.

Now, since it was being turned in a circular motion, the beautiful paint splattered in such a manner, all over everything in our dining room. Tables, chairs, rugs, wood floor, newspaper, paper-shredder, fish tank, table cloth and (the fucking) walls. If ever there were a moment for eyes falling out of my skull, this was it. Luckily, after about half a minute of staring open-mouthed at the room, I acted. Since it is acrylic paint, gesso is water-soluble, and so I spent about an hour scrubbing all the above objects. I also removed the rugs and hosed them off on the front porch. It was quite an ordeal, and I've decided that it's a sign that I should never oil paint again.

Anyhow, I hope my artsy-ness will return, but for now... It really hasn't. I also have the problem of beginning a new sketchbook, which, much like starting anything new... is really, really stressful.

More arts soon... I hope. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/6287948/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/6287948/ Sun, 21 Aug 2005 12:38:47 PDT ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/6037407/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/6037407/ Tue, 26 Jul 2005 07:57:12 PDT ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/5751282/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/5751282/ Sat, 25 Jun 2005 07:18:54 PDT with the whole no art for months at a time thing.

I've been up and down lately, and I don't really deserve it. Had fun shopping for a prom dress last night. Do I have a date? no. will I have fun anyway? maybe. if i don't go through dance syndrome. I tried on a barbie pink, incredibly puff, sparkly dress, just to amuse abigail. it was... humiliating, in a fun way. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/5017950/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/5017950/ Wed, 06 Apr 2005 16:23:34 PDT

Just clearing that grumpy crap off the front of my page. I'm surviving school. I'm going to do well in math, because I have to. I'm going to improve at drawing, because I want to. I'm going to continue to post art, because I like to...

Blah. Blah. Ect. Ect. Ect.

Whelp, you people should keep the art coming too!

My pets:

In other news, Italy was amazing. I wish I had actually carried out my fantasy of running away and living with a lonely old man who spoke minimal English. I would've if it hadn't been for my friends on the trip, and all you wonderful people back home.

...

Give me 48 hours and I'll be back to my usual self, whoever that is.

EDIT: My parents just gave me an easter basket. That is an improvement. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4599489/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4599489/ Wed, 16 Feb 2005 15:35:07 PST ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4530452/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4530452/ Tue, 08 Feb 2005 14:55:37 PST ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4472626/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4472626/ Tue, 01 Feb 2005 15:56:55 PST
HA. Take that, uninspiring and unstimulating math curriculum! I shove this in your face!

I'm so relieved... ;____;

...not to mention surprised, because I definately got Ds or Fs on all my tests except two. Yay for homework credit, and quizzes!

In other news, I'm probably out to the whole of the faculty body by now. Long, pathetic story. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4443291/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4443291/ Sat, 29 Jan 2005 07:27:09 PST
I'm still working on stuffs. Or will be, momentarily.

u_u; How the hell am I going to make it to June with enough motivation to pass my classes? I think it's already gone at this point.

But. Whatever. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4411061/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4411061/ Tue, 25 Jan 2005 12:18:17 PST and ). Other people deserve it too.

Terribly interesting topic, which makes me a bit skeptical, but is a good way to spread awareness about both environmental and social issues too.

I am taking AP Drawing for the next year and a half (god knows WHY the hell they recruited me). I have to write a proposal, and give a presentation at the end. I also need a theme, and I'm thinking something about the 'human figure'. Additional IDEAS ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. I need to narrow it a bit more, or add another element. I'm excited.

I'm also picking up Major World Religions, because I'm highly interested in relgions, even if I don't believe it.

God. Exams cannot end soon enough. I NEED a fresh slate, or whatever the hell it. I'm praying to scrape by with a C- in math, but my chances are looking more and more dismal by the second. God. Please give me a miracle. PLEASE!! ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4288399/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4288399/ Mon, 10 Jan 2005 17:51:10 PST
OMFGNOOO!

Yes. Math will be the death of me.

No, you will probably not see art for a week or two.

No, I'm really not sorry.

Yes, you need to deal.

Yes, there is a miniscule chance that there will be a major influx of art because I always draw best when I ought to be doing something else. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4094374/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/4094374/ Sat, 18 Dec 2004 10:03:33 PST ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3942250/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3942250/ Sun, 28 Nov 2004 19:04:40 PST ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3909402/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3909402/ Wed, 24 Nov 2004 13:48:48 PST
In a week, I will be debating against the Patriot Act in front of my class. Ah. Scary. I loathe public speaking.

On a happier note, I will be 17 this Saturday. Hoorah. ;D It's kinda cool that I'm a year away from no-longer being a minor. Woohoo. ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3736575/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3736575/ Tue, 02 Nov 2004 18:10:46 PST
John Kerry - 147 votes - Winner of the Mock Presidential Election
George Bush - 104 votes

Write- in votes:
Ralph Nader - 4 votes
David Cobb (green party) - 1 vote
John McCain - 1 vote
Jen Berg - 1 vote

THANK GOD Kerry won. Have to say I'd lose what little faith I have in Garrison if Bush won. It really wasn't close either. Still, that's 100 hundred people... Gah.

Jen Berg. xDDDD My god, that cracks me up. (We were aloud to write in people. Jen is a short, somewhat slow and ignorant yet well intentioned girl in my class.)

Heh. Freshman in history class...

Some freshman whose name I don't know (and now don't care to know) proclaimed this loudly, in a way which almost made me gag: "I love you if you'd vote for Bush. Or if you'd vote for Nader, 'cause he's taking votes away from Kerry."

That freshman is lucky I didn't set her straight. e_e; Idiot.

Went to stand in line for an hour at the polls. 'Twas nice, because I had faith that most of the people were voting for Kerry, and there were friendly poll workers.

For the present and future sanity, safety and survival of this planet, please don't let Bush win. If I were religious, I'd be praying like no other right now. Instead, I simply hope. -hope- >_<;; ]]> ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3616952/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3616952/ Mon, 18 Oct 2004 07:58:20 PDT ~thestrals http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3466828/ http://thestrals.deviantart.com/journal/3466828/ Tue, 28 Sep 2004 15:24:46 PDT ~thestrals
