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

So, it's been a while since I've posted. I've been busy working with Housekeeping here on campus. I get up every morning (Monday-Friday) at 5:30 so I can go in at 6:00. I work until 2:30 in the afternoon. I usually don't go to bed until after 10:00 because I wait up for Daku to call me. This week, I've been waking up every morning with a sore throat and I can't shake that feeling of exhaustion. I spent Wednesday night with my Sako-nee (off campus) because it was storming and there was a chance of hail. At the moment, I'm the only one in my dorm building and I don't handle storms very well when I'm alone...Anyways, today I woke up at 5:30, had the sore throat, and felt completely drained of energy, so I called my supervisor and told her I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be coming in today. I then went back to sleep until about 8:30. I tried going back to sleep then, but I couldn't, so I got up for the day. My sore throat went away, but I'm still exhausted...
Daku left Nebraska yesterday. He stopped in Kansas to visit his friend (the one that will be joining soon to guest post in my cosplay world) for today. He'll be leaving Kansas early tomorrow morning and I'll be going to his house to spend the rest of the weekend with him. I'm so excited!! It's been a long and lonely summer without him, but I'm proud of him for doing the research internship.
I've been slacking on drawing and writing fan fiction lately, largely due to the job...I need to draw at least two more pictures to sell as prints at A2F V!! And I need to add another chapter to my "Kingdom Hearts" fic, as well as finish my "Labyrinth" fic...And I need to finish reading Christopher Paolini's "Eldest" and Anne Rice's "The Tale of the Body Theif". At least I got that book read for my Education and Growth class...I'll have to read it again during the semester, but I read it before classes started so I would be able to understand it better...The guy who wrote it is really wordy, much like J. R. R. Tolkien...
Well, not much else going on. Classes start on August 25, so I'll be getting back into the grind of schoolwork then. Until then, I'll be working with Housekeeping. I hope I can keep that job when classes start. Of course, my hours will change to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 6:00 am to 11:00 am. I'll also be tutoring my friend, Lissa, in Art History. We'll have that class together.
Stay classy, Otakuites!

So, things are starting to get pretty hectic. I had a stressful weekend this past weekend. Something happened that was beyond my control, and it really pissed me off and made me worried sick at the same time. It's a horrible feeling to have...If I could've prevented the event from happening, believe me, I would have! Unfortunately, I couldn't. Of course, everything has been worked out, and things are much better now.
The end of the semester is drawing near, which means that I'm going to have to write several papers and do some projects. Then of course, Finals Week...You know what? Let's just not go there...Anyways, I've got Sophomore Review to deal with on April 17th. It's something all the art majors have to go through here at the good ol' U of O...
My Education advisor has thrown out another option to me to help broaden my career choices: Preschool-8th grade certification. Right now, I'm working on an Art major and a Secondary Education major, and with the Secondary Ed major, she told me it would be VERY easy to get P-8 certification. Basically, I think I'll only have to take one more class than I would have...Unfortunately, that class is a State History class...I'm going to talk to that advisor on Wednesday at noon about this option. Both Daku and I believe it would be a very good idea. I probably need to run it by my parents, too.
Then after this semester is over, I'll get to jump right in to Maymester! That's pretty much just a bunch of Education classes rolled into one 3-week-long journey of learning...So I won't really get a break until June 5th. Of course, then I'll be starting a summer Work-Study job. Hopefully, I'll be working at the local special-needs preschool. I'm going to talk to the director Thursday...I really hope I get that position! I'm currently observing there, and I absolutely adore the 4-5 year olds! It's a dream job...See, back in 6th grade, I began working with the 3-6 year olds' Children's Church class at my church, and since then, I've gained a ton of experience working with children. I consider myself an amateur babysitter, as I've babysat many children during that period. So, yeah, that would be a dream job for me.
And May 30th or 31st, Daku will be leaving for Lincoln, Nebraska. He's doing a summer internship at UNL for 2 months...That's part of the reason I want to stay here over the summer. I couldn't stand living back at home with my parents during that time...I'd go absolutely nuts!! Not that I'm not already a bit insane anyways...But yeah, the summer Work-Study will help me make it through. I'm also considering doing an online course at a local Tech college. That'll help me be able to graduate in the next 4 semesters...
Well, I guess that's it...Stay classy, Otakuites!

So...Last night was fun...*sarcasm* I woke up around 1 am. I was shaking violently and I couldn't tell if I was hot or cold. I kind of think my skin was burning. I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom and...proceeded to empty my stomach in a bit of a violent manner (to put it mildly). After I had finished, I was still shaking, and my friend Kat V. asked if I was okay. I thought I was pale, but she said I looked red. She offered me some Pepto Bismol, a bottle of water, some kind of cough drop-like thing, and some kind of pill from the nurse. I took 2 Peptos, drank some of the water, took the pill from the nurse, and drank more water. The pill knocked me out quite nicely. Celeste woke me up at 7 am for breakfast, but I simply asked for my phone, turned on the alarm for 8 am, and went back to sleep. I dunno, but I think I slept through it...I woke up at 9 am, and I had a 9:30 am class! No time for a shower. TT^TT Yeah...I ate the cough drop thing in class, and it helped. I feel much better now, but I'm still hungry...I haven't eaten a whole lot today....And the worst part is that I'm having to stay away from dairy products! I LIVE on dairy!! ._. Not very healthy...
In other news...Have you noticed the new member feature? I've PM'd 3 of the people. One replied back. It's nice. I never know who the n00bs are on here. I like welcoming them, though. Always great to meet new people. Adam's really been working hard lately to bring us new features.

Well, we didn't get out of classes today. They were just delayed until 10:00 am. We were out yesterday, though, so it's okay. We did get snow. I was up until 1:30 am or so. At midnight, it started snowing, and it made me happy inside. I love snow...It's so pretty...And white...And cold...I wanted to run outside and dance in it and catch snowflakes on my tongue, but I was already in my pajamas, and I wasn't going to change back into my clothes...
My plushie comic is going over well. I don't really have any ideas for the direction at the moment. Just whatever strikes me as a funny or interesting idea at the moment. I'm contemplating making Sasori and Deidara play DDR, but it's hard to make plushies stand up...Perhaps I could use string? Mwahaha!! I might just do that!! I could even involve their bedmate, Kadaj...
Well, not much else is going on. Got a tiny bit of homework, but it's just drawing a visual aid for Zero Reject (it means no child can be rejected from a public school) in my Families and Students class, and for that, I'm drawing chibis!! There's a boy in a wheelchair, a girl with a hearing aid, and a blind boy, and they're all smiling! I just have to ink and color it. And then I have to study some vocabulary terms for World Civ 2...I'll post the chibis when I'm done.
Stay classy, Otakuites!
