Current Tune: White Dove (Escaflowne)
OH MYGOSH IT IS FINALLY BLOODY OVER!!!!!!!!! I just finished the first draft of that STUPID essay!! *kissing ground* The minimum was 5 pages, mine is 8... hm.. I wonder how long it will be after that dude reads and massacres it tomorrow... *worried*
So, I'm almost scared shitless about the midterms tomorrow. (insert your choice of colorful adjectives here). I'm trying to convince Noah to take the midterms for me tomorrow... what if I say I have blackmail.. pictures of him on the computer ala Josh! bwhahaha. I should post a picture of part of his tattoo. I am sure he would be proud.
No more studying, evil politics. SOMEONE had me reading smut while I was trying to do the paper today. I'm surprised that I didn't write about politicians shagging INS people. -_-; It's bad enough when Hayley has me read those romance novels (hehe, I love you Hayley Bayley!!! :D nervous laugher...). Shit, work! Gya!!!!
Current Tune: Inuyasha and Kagome (Inuyasha)
Ahhh, banana. -_- I thought I would say that instead of the other colorful adjectives which describe my mood. Today I've planned out my essay and gone over the sources however just can't write stupid thing! GRR!! I have the introduction done however am getting tripped up on the definition of the new world order which leads into the rest of the essay. CRYING.
Ingrid has been trying to get me to write another chapter of either one of the stories (although Hidden Identity is not favorite I guarun... urrrgggh). Maybe if I stare at the computer screen long enough the paper will write itself for me....
I hate my political science group. Two haven't even bothered doing their end of the world, one hasn't finished outlining one of the essays... makes me feel really stupid for putting all that effort into mine. I mean, 6 PAGES!!! Meanwhile I think the longest one out of the two people I've actually gotten stuff from was probably a page and a half. -_- I hate working with groups. I wish I could have my old political science group from last quarter back. single tear.

I got the outline done (as you can see from the previous scary entry). However, once I finished that I was in a mood to make a layout. ^_^ This is a sample of the next layout. I am thinking of adding more.. however I flattened the image so I am pretty sure that is what it will look like...
Going to go watch that Hugh Grant movie with the boy... er... can't remember the name... About a boy? Hazzah. Going to have to work on the paper afterwards. nooo.

Current Tune: Can You Keep A Secret? (Utada Hikaru)
Whoa, this song certainly brings back memories... my first host family in Japan had this tape that we listened to over and over on the way to Takayama from Tsu, which is about probably a seven hour trip. The good news is that the tape had a whopping eight or so songs on it. ~_~ I was able to sing it when I didn't even know Japanese, that's how much we listened to it. ha.
So, I dropped stained glass. I need more time for studying (then why am I writing in the blog? don't want Anne going crazier do you?), and didn't need it to graduate. urgh, it would have been interesting but basically I was not suppose to take that many classes in the first place (hehe). Hopefully it will be better now... though I'm pretty sure I'm still taking too many classes (wishing I could drop Math... counselor said that he doubts the teacher would let me when I had a 97.3% at the end of the semester...).
Today is my Dad's 62nd birthday! Yay! Happy birthday to him! He's on a church retreat at the moment, sadness. But you know what else today means?? I'll be 18 in a month! :D YAY! My family and the 7th day of the month, eheh. Noah is Janurary 7th, Dad February 7th, me March 7th... and Adam and Jody got married on June 7th. :p If I ever get married perhaps I should do that... hmm....
Current Tune: Hum of the printers
Urgh... pathetic whimper. Currently at school, boo hoo. I can't wait until next Friday since it will mean that all this stress if finally gone. T_T I really should be working on my English but just went to the Open Writing center to organize my thoughts and make the paper nice. My weekend is going to suck. T_T My goal is to get the paper done by Monday so that I can go to the writing center between the end of my high school class and before Japanese (so I technically have about four hours between so it's all good). By tomorrow I need to have an outline of four of the terms and an essay for the midterm to e-mail to my group. Highly starting to doubt if I should even go to Hayley's tomorrow night. ;_; Really want to but have too much work.
Yes... midterms in English and Political Science on Tuesday, fun shit. I have some Health project which will probably only take about two hours of my life thus I will get it over with this weekend. hehe, usually on the weekends I'm a lazy bum that doesn't do anything. Well Anne, welcome to reality (aka school). I was moaning/complaining about it to Dad last night and he said, "Well, it is your job in a sense." "If it were my job I would quit!" ^_^ Course I expect art school will be hard but it will be the type of hard that I will like, i.e. doing something I enjoy rather than something that makes me think of pulling teeth out with plyers. ha. hazzah. it's off to finish the english. weee.
Current Tune: Only Time (Enya)
ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This moment of frusteration brought to you by this little thing called school.
I want to cry. I don't think I can handle this for two months. English is being an ass at the moment, weeps! I should never had signed up for this class. It's not a requirement and as much as I love reading it is taking up time. I've just spent about the last hour working on a response to a question and it's two pages... ~_~ She said it would take about twenty minutes per question... it took me about an hour for HALF THE QUESTION!! I think I am going too much into this. Hmm... human nature, grumble grumble.
Political Science is a bitch. I started to look at the terms and have no idea what I should argue for the stupid things. I think I will work on them between classes... tonight I must continue outlining my essay so I can talk to the teacher tomorrow for his insights and to see if I have a good basic idea of the damn thing. URGH!!! Wanting to cry.... have lost two pounds since SUNDAY. Bad sign... --Anne battled with the evils of the computer on Wednesday, February 5, 2003 at 09:13 p.m.
Current Tune: Letters (Utada Hikaru)
Well, according to Deathclock.com I am suppose to die on Sunday April 6, 2041... I have about 1,204,277,612 seconds to live. Nice! My health teacher had us do this sheet today about heart disease but we found out she meant to give us the sheet that would predict when we would die. Hmm... now I'm curious about that sheet. I'll probably kick the bucket fairly early. Why? 1) I'm usually stressed, but I'm also fairly mellow (i.e. I take time for myself everyday). 2) My diet is fairly good since both my parents are diabetic (type 2) so we eat fairly healthy. 3) I'm lazy as hell. -_- I hardly exercise. Now I don't have P.E. which means I don't have forced activity... perhaps should run on treadmill.
Being 5'11 (or like... 177 ish cm..?) and being 146 lbs. isn't that bad I think. (now the world knows my weight! GASP!). It's freaky, on Sunday I weighted 148-9 lbs. and now I'm down to 146... well, we can tell what stress does to Anne! Other than make her stranger/suicidal (not seriously)/head ache/depressed it makes her skinny! -_- Don't want an eating disorder though... people think I'm on the verge of one... hmm...
Hayley e-mailed me about her senior issues project. She got children and women's rights (is that right Hayley? tired...). So I dug up my information when I studied Cambodia and how democracy would do for them. Course, I found an article about child and women prostitution. Sure, I'm sadistic. I got a B on the paper since I focused on their human rights rather than the government. -_- Sigh, oh well, can't always be perfect. (although it would be nice). Wee! Going to go finish English reading... or should I get Political Science over with? Political Science book is downstairs... hmm... started both... Political Science shorter. :) English must answer some questions when done. Fun!!!!

Oh boy, I can't spell donight.... tonight. I don't know why but tonight I am really tired. I think that the work loud... load is getting to me. ~_~ And the GOOD news is that it is only the second day that I have had six classes. T_T This is horrid to have teh.. the semester start at my high school the same week that I have mid-terms at college (well, at least tomorrow is Japanese, next week is the others).
I commented to Mom that I am happy that I am going to Art School next year and she yelled at me that I still have to work at Art School. Well, DUH! ~_~ At least it will be something I want to go... do. ~_~; Yesterday she was going to get a bus tri... ticket packet for this month and fell over and ended up hurting her arm and hitting her face. This is like the second injury she has gotten from walking on the streets of Seattle. T_T Poor Mommy.
So, yes, switching into bitch about school mode. :p I have a Political Science paper that is due next Thursday (although we have had awhile to work on it... I've been working on what I want to talk about it). Good news: I outlined what I am going to talk about! :D So I am going to try and write it by Thursday (or this weekend at least). By Friday I need to have an outline of four terms (Natural Rights, Limited Government, Secret Government, and Homeland Security Act) plus an outline for an essay for the Political Science mid-term. ~_~ Good thing it's on Tuesday. Slowly going cracy.... crazy. English I have 64 pages of reading for Thursday. I can get it done, no problem. I kind of wish I didn't sign up to take the class. It isn't required, didn't need it. Sigh. Oh well, I have an A in the class. Japanese tomorrow I have to go to college early to practice for the oral exam... I wonder if we have the written tomorrow? Probably.
Sulking... I think I will finish reading a fanfic (to calm me down, really uptight at moment) then go do English reading.. T_T Just remembered my Algebra Trig. homework I have for Thursday... PLEASE say I won't get anything in Health tomorrow... I wish I was one of those smart kids (sigh).
Current Tune: Release (George)
Cable internet is baaaad. I keep on wanting to sign on the internet and experience the joys of fast connection. O_o Couldn't think last night when doing Political Science reading... have to do research for the poli. sci. paper which is due in just over a week yet the temptation to surf around is too great. O_O When will the amazingness of it go away??
haha, my current tune I found from here. I quite enjoyed the power to download something quickly, which is a first for me (shaking fist at old dial ups I've lived with for so many years). We are happy about this, huh Lucifer. (if Lucifer (aka my PC) wasn't an inanimate object I am sure it would agree).
Sigh, temptation of internet so great. Must do research reading for paper... the printer isn't hooked up anymore, annoyance. I think the guy knocked it loose yesterday. Hmm. I admit, this article will be interesting to read. My arguement is going to be how the Muslims in the U.S. are having their civil liberties taken away after 9/11. ~_~ Some of this stuff is confusing since I wasn't even in the country when it happened. *sigh* I just HAD to be in Japan when it happened. ~_~ sigh... fast internet connection... fast computer... we are happy, right Lucifer (I should stop talking to the computer seeing as it is inanimate).
Started new classes today, wahoo! Comforting thought: The stained glass class uses more bandaids then the rest of the school put together. O_O; I'm sort of a klutz so that definately isn't comforting. Math is the same (shoot, I should do my homework for that... in a minute... will do some research... meaning must hook up printer again, sigh). Started Health, that wonderful requirement so many of us seniors put off till the end. ^_^ I think it might actually be somewhat interesting. Seriously not looking forward to three high school and three college classes till March. -_-
Current Tune: Futari no Gomen Ne (Excel Saga)
I'm actually listening to music for once when I write in this thing. Amazing shit I tell you!! Today has been pretty un-productive. I made a layout for White Dragon, however have yet to hear from Ingrid about if (a) she got it (internet was being evil), (b) likes it or hates it, or finally (c) I don't know, it looked stupid only having two reasons. I'm quite fond of the layout. I wish that I could put together the HTML but stink at it. ha. Seriously, we have Frontpage on Lucifer (the PC) and Adobe Photoshop on the Mac. I think that Lucifer came with Paint Shop Pro... should open that and order it. Hmm...
Muffy is really pissed off at the moment. This cat is old. What I mean by old is that the cat is older than myself (so she is over 18). She's been getting really, what's the word... crazy lately. Her head twitches every-so-often and she keeps scratching her head. Today is was especially bad so Dad went and got one of those kitty cone head things. The cat is pissed. She is sitting there glaring at the ground below the file cabnit drawer beside me. Earlier she was climbing around trying to knock it off and at one point she came up and rubbed against my foot to teach me a lesson. ~_~
I tried working on scholarship art today. T_T I haven't been able to draw lately which is BAD since I am going to an Art School. *sigh* I did a charcoal of a little girl (aka me when I was two) and a dog (aka Sierra). I don't know, it looks funky. Perhaps I can scan it sometime or something... horrid piece it is (haha, I won't say that... it's okay). I did some watercoloring of a Fullmoon picture I sketched while looking at the other day, got annoyed and stopped doing that. (when my friend in OK called she informed me she can watercolor, single tear) Tried drawing an Escaflowne fanart, failed, tried an original character to see if I could revert it to Escaflowne however my mind isn't that easily fooled. Cursed be the day! Leigh stole my muse!! She's been able to write lately which last week she wasn't able to do and now I can't. I actually haven't tried writing... I think she stole my drawing muse a few weeks ago!! Give it back you female dog!! GRR!! (hehe)
Current Tune: Maria (Hitomi)
Uggggh, stomach hurts. Curling up in ball and dieing. -_-; So proud of self, I was actually in bed by 10 and this time fell asleep shortly afterwards. GASP. When I tried that on Monday I didn't fall asleep for a long while and ended up with a messed up train of thought (if I had any) on Tuesday. ^_^; Perhaps the cure to the stomach is eating more...? Nah, I don't think I need more food, the cheese and crackers I ate will be plenty.
(blank) = my current train of thought. That isn't exactly comforting considering I have Political Science in about an hour and a half. Let's see... The Virgina Plan is where it would have been more benefical to the larger states.... I want to say the Rhode Island but I think that is wrong... ~_~ I know the 3/5 compromise is as counting the slaves only as 3/5.... ~_~ Grr to that part of history. I looked at the constitution and found parts which I thought were elitest and democracic... think I'm ready for Poli. Sci.... think is the key word. English I read "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Poe, oh gosh I didn't understand that story. ~_~;; I told my friend about it and he informed me that, "Poe was doped up on opium while he wrote." Okaaaaay.
So no more IM for me. ~_~ Last night Ingrid told me to spam her in the IM since something was wrong with her internet. After a few minutes AOL kicked me off and when I signed on and tried to IM her back they informed me I made it on a "special list" of spammers thus lost my rights to have IM. GRRR!! I'm happy that I will only have to be under their service until Sunday. Ahh Sunday, cable connection, no more dial up, no more AOL. *giddy*
Current Tune: My Will (Inuyasha)
YAY! My 51 pages of Political Science reading done for tomorrow and it's not yet even 1 p.m.!!! Heavy excitement fills the air. Now I just have to answer questions about the constitution... ~_~ But YAY to being DONE!! It was actually pretty interesting, read about Civil Liberties and Civil Rights (more interesting than constitutional reading). YAY! DONE!!! *very happy obviously*
I am now a staff member of White Dragon, bu-yah! Very excited!! Ingrid, I think I will tone down that Van bio... ^_^ I'll use it for something else and try to get them to match yours. Also going to make layout (if you want me too). Very excited! I can sense Ingrid if very scared, bwhahahahah!!! (still happy about reading being done).

I got into the Art Institute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glee!!! I came home and there was another letter from them. Course, they sent me a letter last week saying they got the application so I thought it would be for something stupid like that again. but no! I have a purpose! I have something to do after graduation! I have something to do this summer!! GYA! I signed up to start July 14th, so YAY!!!!!!!!
hehe! I got an ego stroke from my literature teacher today. My ego might start loosing its hair with all the stroking (ewww). So she told the class today that they didn't do good on their theme quiz and even worse on their point of view one. So naturally Anne gets worried. Dun dun dun! So she hands them out when we are having group discussions and, ta-da!, 100 on the theme quiz and 90 on the point of view! Hazzah! And to add to that she told me at the end of class that I seem to know what if going on, asking the right questions, and should look into something with English. HAZZAH!
In too good of a mood to work on Political Science... will go eat dinner then go into the depressing world of politics (I can see the politicans chucking rotten fruit at me).
Current Tune: air thingys in background
Currently sitting around at college... I don't know, I think being hyper for two days in a row has left me really drained. I can't focus on anything, I feel physically tired and weak, not really caring about anything... Matt commented that I look "groggy." Gosh, I even went to bed around 10 last night however didn't really fall asleep until 11. I had really weird dreams too which might be a cause for why I'm so groggy... although I don't remember waking up. Hayley stayed home from school today missing the Math final (that bitch). ^_^ I figure that you are sick Hayley... I really hope that you didn't give it to me (since I can not miss any of my college classes, imagine trying to catch up!! *faint*).
So, yes, I don't understand the American government. I'm really frusterated about that at the moment. I think that this weekend I am going to plan out the paper and go to the writing lab so see what they think of it, write it, then go back like oh say.. next Thursday to have them read over it. The paper is due February 13th... all I can think about to talk about is Muslim rights and oil (we are discussing civil rights and democracy in terms of 9/11 and the upcoming war with Iraq). +_+ I don't understand politics. They interest me to a certain extent but... ~_~ I found international politics more interesting than just American politics.
Must go off and write little mini-paper thingy for 'Experience Literature' class on "Had Goodman Brown... only dreamed a wild dream of a witch setting?" in the story Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Sigh. Feeling like I will fail all classes this quarter, must get mind back... must get over this groggy feeling... don't think can do anything fun this weekend (i.e. write fanfic). Brain power... slowly... leaving... (I wonder how people who actually go to college fulltime feel? Urrgh, scary thought... high school and college at the same time is bad enough).

Hanging head in shame. I got 19/20 on that last quiz in Japanese! Utter and complete shame!!! Urgh. I also got a 49/50 on my Math quiz. ~_~ I messed up the plus and minus signs thus messing up the whole problem, ERRRGH!! Kicking desk to make a point..
I finally have a copy of Frontpage! YAY! Very excited! Think of what that bad boy and I will do together... ehe... glazed off look in my eyes. :p
So, Midnight wandered away again this morning. ~_~ He does it every morning. At 6:10 Mom and I had to leave and down the street probably a minute or two (by car) away there was Midnight walking the opposite direction. ~_~ I rolled down the window and said, "MIDNIGHT!" He looked and got the 'oh shit...' look on his face and turned around. Mom got out and walked on the other side of the street towards home giving him a lecture, me sitting there then eventually turning around. Ha ha. Mom almost missed her bus, there there.
Not so hyper now, yet still hyper. Is that possible? Hmm... pondering that.... (deep in thought Anne is)
Current Tune: I'll Be There (Jackson 5)
Gya!! Gya!!!! GYA!!! There are reasons why I hate driving so much! Driving back from school, was being tailgated up one of the hills by this huge truck which got me slightly peeved. So when we got near this little prep-kindergarden (sadness) a car three infront of me suddenly stopped to pull in causing the others to brake quickly meaning I did to. HOWEVER, big-ass-truck behind me slammed on his brakes and almost hit my back!! Luckily he swerved to the side slightly. ~_~ You think the jerk would learn except when I was pulling into Reintree (aka housing development) the jerk passed me on the shoulder! I gave him the international sign of friendship, however low enough so he couldn't see. ~_~ Driving is bad for my health; in the car I usually am very aggressive and swear a whole lot. urgh.
So last night didn't fall asleep until about 12:30 ish. hahhaha. That juice really did a number on me yesterday. I mean, I'm *STILL* hyper right now. O_o I've been giggling all day, but I also think that Sara aka Gillian2282's e-mail is another cause of my hyperness. ^_^ People have been giving me nice commments this week; my ego has a nice glossy shine to it. :p
Saw old friend today, long time (woah). Asked him where he wants to go to college and he said anywhere but will most likely end up at UW. (this, of course, if my friend who gave me guilt trips if I got higher grades and constantly bitched about how stupid he was and smart everyone else was). -_-; Then he asked me where I applied and I did my little peace signs and said, "Art Institute!" Which he said he figured I would do something like that since I'm "talented and really good at it." Aww! My ego, nice and shiny. :) Saw my "competition" today. :p ho ho ho ho. Wait, I got Naraku for which Inuyasha character I am, thus: ku ku ku ku.
Ah, Luna has come to join the party! See how she meows and draws attention to herself! My beloved calico cat!! (see, anne = hyper)
Current Tune: Blue Blood (X-Japan)
WEEEE!!! So hyper! At first I concluded that perhaps the two pieces of chocolate during studying and then the effects of studying were the cause of the hyperness but alas, I have discovered the source. The juice. -_- My Mom bought some Peach something or other juice last week and I had some today. I think I went into sugar shock. I usually only drink milk and water, so much sugar.. @_@
I'm waiting for Michelle to e-mail me back chapter three of Hidden Identity, was a productive little person this weekend. (laugh). Luna is currently upstairs asleep on my bed, awww! Cute little calico, never realize what an evil little kitty she is...!
Hair currently braided, too lazy to blow dry it. :p I was talking to Mom about Art School and said that I feel slightly guilty about not going to a four-year college (since she has been harassing me about it for the past five years...). She said to do what I want and that I honostly seem happy about doing it, which I am. ^_^ I just worry that the four-year college person will edge me out of the job. How can they, I will wow the world with my graphic goodness... or animation. ~_~ I am back to the undecided catergory. ~_~ Why do I like graphic design AND animation. Urgh. At least they are the same degree fields... SUGAR! (must calm down, should be going to sleep)... soro soro nihongo wo benkyou shimashou ka! iya desu....
