Hi everyone.
To those of you who wait in on-the-edge-of-the-seat anticipation, whom I will be unreasonably optimistic to number a little bit more than five (Hi, mom!), here are some minor updates, which can be summed up with: I feel total disarray.
I've not had a good 8 hours of sleep in a while, and I'm running on backup energy that I remain clueless about (but would like to believe comes from the mint Oreos and various forms of sugared products I've been heavily ingesting).
The workload for this semester has been an unrelenting slew of rubber bricks to the face, meaning to say: my eyes sting from all the red rubber sediment (evidently, when I make anecdotes like this, I am tired). I am tired -- not 'sick', mind you, just tired, of and from Magazine Writing class.
***
These few days have and will be mightily packed with too many things to do. The two midterms, the two writing assignments, one collage for art class, a mechanical hand I've to built by Saturday for Halloween, a short 3 to 8 minute film for another art class, running about getting work permits signed, attending talks about creationism vs. evolution and intelligent design, and oh, dinosaurs, catching-up with friends.
***
Of late, I've found myself wishing I'd gone into something related to drawing. Illustration, maybe, or even graphic design. The hours I could just put into working on 'art' projects were always fun, and not one that required too strenuous mind-work.
***
The amount of work I've had to put with this semester has left me with very little time for hobbies. And when I do, I just space out despite having several hours. I need a 4-day holiday soon.
***
Also, I've gotten a haircut. I hesitate to post it up here, but I'll happily, though awkwardly, show it to you if you ask me in private. It's been refered to as "something out of the 80s", "a surfer dude's style", "like I'm in a boy band", and received many comments of "I like it", usually accompanied by "Though your bangs (pfft, they say 'bangs') could be shorter".

Needless to say, I'm altogether not too happy with where I am at the moment, but God'll see me through as he always has, and I'm glad He does.
