Hush, Love, Don't cry,
It'll be alright,
Hold me close,
As I administer the dose,
Listen to my lullaby of lies.

So, I have an update for my Sophomore Review........
I PASSED!!!
I'm so excited about that one! My professors were actually impressed with my work! I'm thinking about posting a gallery specially made for the Review pieces...I don't know...
I have most of my papers and other assignments completed for my Education and History classes. I've got maybe 2 or 3 more things to do. Also, I will have a job beginning July 1st! So I think I'm just going to remain on campus for the summer. During the month of June, I'll probably just do community service to get free summer housing. When I start that job, it will be work study, so I should get free housing for that, too.
Unfortunately, I've only got two more weeks of classes, and then May 11th begins Finals Week...Ugh, the dreaded Finals!! Hm...Let's see, I know I'll have to take the Yoga final (some of which contains Sanskrit), the Theories of Human Learning final, and the World Civilization 2 final...The Families and Students in a Diverse Society final is optional, but you do have to take it if you want an A in the class, so I'll probably go ahead and be an overachiever and reach for that A...Besides, if I do poorly, it can't hurt my grade...In both Sculpture 1 and Figure Drawing 1, I will only have a final critique, so no pressure there.
The day after Finals are over, I get to move into the on-campus apartments! And then that Monday, Maymester begins. It'll be 3 whole weeks of nothing but Education classes...I'm actually excited about it because I'll be working side-by-side with an art teacher at a junior high school. I've already met her and she seems really fun!
Oh, and at Room Selection on Tuesday, Celeste (my roommate and self-proclaimed twin) and I got into the on-campus apartments! It's a big thing because they're MUCH nicer than the dorms...In the apartments, we will share a bathroom with only 2 other girls, who we both know and love! And our other neighbor will be Mantha, whom I've known and loved since 8th grade. The apartments also have a full kitchen! The dorms only have a tiny, crappy, useless one...Anyways, we also opted for the 7-meal-a-week plan. We plan to take full advantage of our culinary skills and that full kitchen...We're also going to learn to buy in bulk...I'll probably end up just finding my way to the nearest Sam's Club and signing up for a membership card. My mom's got one, so I'll talk to her about it more later.
Speaking of my mother, I don't think she's too thrilled that I want to stay here for the summer. She's always had a bit of a problem with me being independent. But I'm 20 years old, and I think it's time to continue cutting on that umbilical cord! I began the process 2 years ago when I came to this university, which is a 3-hour drive from my house...At least it's in the same state! Well, I do feel bad about not visiting my parents very often, but this is how life goes! Parents have child, child grows up and learns from parents, child moves off from parents to lead an independent life. I'm at that third and final step of being a child...Though, I still plan to visit my parents over the summer. My mom's having that "empty nest" syndrome. I'm the oldest of 2 kids. My younger (I don't say little because he's bigger than me...) brother is a Senior in high school this year. Fortunately for mom, he's planning to attend the local community college for the first 2 years, meaning he'll be living at home. Then he's transferring to a state university. I'm currently attending a private university...Anyways, yeah, mom's got the "empty nest" syndrome...But she'll be fine. She'll come to enjoy the peace and quiet...Not to mention the amount of control she'll have over the remote control! My dad's a trucker, so he's only home on weekends...
Okay, now, for a complete and utter change in topic! I'm going to an anime convention this weekend! My boyfriend, 2 of our friends, and I are all leaving tomorrow afternoon, around 2:30 or so. I'm utterly ecstatic!! My fiance and I were going to go as male and female Ranma, from "Ranma 1/2", but his wig still hasn't come in, and if it doesn't come in by tomorrow, he's going as Kakuzu, and I'm going as Sasori, both from "Naruto". One of our friends is going as himself, as he is a character all his own. Our other friend will probably borrow whichever costume I don't use, as she's relatively the same size as me.
Oh, by the way, feel free to color my latest lineart!
Well, that's it for now! Stay classy, Otakuites!

Okay, yeah, you don't REALLY have to read this, but I'd appreciate feedback...
Does your body ever tell you things? Like, you know, do you ever get weird feelings and then suddenly go, "Where the HELL did that come from?!" Yeah, I get one of those feelings quite frequently...
I WANT TO BE A MOTHER!!!
I mean, it's not such an overwhelming feeling that I tackle my fiance in true cave-woman fashion and go, "I CAN HAZ UR BAYBEEZ NAO!!! RAAWRGGGH!!!!" But I do have the feeling...It's like this: I'll be sitting down, watching tv with Daku, and suddenly, inside me, my body says, "Hey. Hey, toots. Don't you tink it's time ta get a bun in tha oven yet? Yeah, tell 'at pretty boy ovah theyah ta strip 'is clothes off and stick it in yah! Yous guys is gettin' ta that point, ya know..." Yes, it says it just like that, Brooklyn accent and EVERYTHING!!!
WE'RE NOT FINANCIALLY STABLE ENOUGH TO PROCREATE!!!
We're still in college! We've got 2 years left! We're only 20! Geez! I mean, yeah, we're engaged, but it's still kind of a huge secret, seeing as he hasn't talked to my dad yet...But he will this summer...So yeah...I'll let you know how that one goes after it happens...Anyways, we can't get married until we graduate, and even then, it'll be at LEAST 4 years before he'll be able to start his career!! He's planning on getting a PhD or an MD...Either way, he'll be Dr. Daku...Neither of us really wants a kid until we're both comfortably situated in our career paths...But my body keeps doing that to me...
Do all 20-year-old women get the urge to yield offspring? Do YOUNGER women have those urges? I saw a post card on PostSecret a few weeks back that was sent in by a woman my age who had these feelings. It shocked me to read it because I thought I was alone...Gah, I hate this!! Why won't my body and my logic assimilate?! Why must they contradict each other?!
Well, stay classy, Otakuites.
