But I swear to god if I start this afternoon, I'm going to be pissed.
My laptop is kind of MIA at the moment, which is really lame. A year or two back, the battery started going on it - not holding a charge. That was okay, because I could still use it on the power cord and I just took that wherever I took the laptop. Now, the power cord isn't working anymore and when I took it to work the other week, it took forever for me to power up the computer because it simply refused. Same thing happened when I got home and Tony's letting me use his old laptop (it needed reformatted and stuff anyhow - we might use it to host videos and stuff). Now my laptop won't power on at all, even after fiddling with the battery and the power cord. I think I'll have to buy a new one of both, but with all my tax money spent on bills and rent and other things, it'll probably have to wait until we get our Summer money. Or, a decent paycheck. One of the two.
I'm still struggling with classwork. I'm caught up in my Media class, thank god, but I'm still dragging behind in my Lit class. I need to take tonight and tomorrow to just buckle down and stop getting distracted by shit so I can read what I need to and do these couple 2-3 page papers. Just get it the fuck done because the rough drafts for our essays are due on the 8th and jesus christ both these classes are boring. At least in the Media class, I know what I'm rambling about because I've taken two other classes that were on the same subject. When it comes to English classes, though, if it's not something I'm interested in or something I can easily bullshit, my brain nopes right on out of there.
The only good thing that ever comes out of my avoidance of classwork is that I focus that energy onto other things I enjoy. So I'm sort of drawing again. Honestly, it's half school avoidance and half because I saw the designs for the Equestria Girls show and, as much as I loathe everything about the new MLP stuff, I think the designs are cute and they fit my style well. I figure I can draw them and maybe make money at Anthrocon with them this year. I have no desire to watch the new show (just like I have no desire to watch FiM), but I'm hoping the dolls they put out will be similar in size to my Freya's and I can get some cute clothes.
Also, yeah, I totally know I could've come up with anthro or human pony designs before, but I'm also fuckall lazy. So go figure.
In other news, I got my other Freya yesterday! I have to re-string her to put the normal feet on her, so I might hold off on that. I re-strung Desma last week and she's not as tight as she probably should be. It's harder than I thought to do! I am happy that she's more of a creamy white than a stark white, though.
Oh! I finished reading The Night Circus the other day! I really enjoyed it, though the climax with the challenge was a little weak, I loved basically everything else about the book. I'm also reading At the Mouth of the River of Bees, which is a short story collection. I'm not awfully far into it, just reading bit here and there when the mood strikes me, but I'm also enjoying it a lot. I posted the first story in the book, 26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss on my tumblr because I liked it so much.
And, on a final note, in the realm of things I'm both Not Ready For and Don't Want To Do: I just got an email about how I'm at 45 credit hours and campus policy is that you have to declare a major by the the time you reach 45 hours.
I don't fucking know what I want to do. This is too much adult for me.
