In not crazy-person news...

sparkfrostThought I'd update about school unrelated to the crazy guy!
Piano- I've already worked through the assigned book, so I've begun bringing contemporary sheet music to class. Right now I'm learning Don't Stop Believin, you know that's awesome. After that I think I'll move on to The Beatles, specifically Let it Be. My friend Nick asked me to learn that song so that I could play and sing it with his band Situation Normal. Overall good times!
Chinese- Hard, but enjoyable. There is one girl in the class who is a complete ditz, I hope I was never that young and stupid. Well, she'll grow out of it (or she won't), and I won't have to see her after this semester. But yeah, Chinese is fun, my teacher told me I have excellent handwriting for the characters, and I'm friendly with most everyone in the class. Though I did tell one guy to go fuck himself after he said that he'd be flattered to be stalked. So there's that.
Flash- Pretty fucking awesome. I'm really enjoying it, especially the "homework" where we get to create our own project based off of what we've learned. Most of what I've created is in Shockwave format, so I'll have to figure out where I can upload it to share with you all. But I did convert one project to .png so I could show my parents! Here it is:
Snakes! In Space! I giggled for 10 minutes over that one, and yes, I have a stupid sense of humor. Anyhow, I already finished the midterm project, I created an animated ad for a World War Z movie, it's pretty nifty. Next week I'll touch up a few things, maybe change the animation around a bit, and hand it in.
Career Development- Going well, I have an A, and I spoke to my teacher about transferring to UMD, so I have that paperwork to fill out.
Environmental Biology- I like the class, but its hard to get enthusiastic about it when we only meet once a week. I am definitely interested in Environmental Science, I just wish this class had more "oomph", you know?
And that's it! It is damn cold outside, but I have the space heater on so its reasonable inside. Though I will have to figure out methods of keeping heat in the apartment, other than the plastic window coatings, cause Loki likes to rip them apart. Maybe heavy cloth curtains over the windows? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
