 | 07:57 pm - Silly rabbit, magazines are for reading Scoot: Even when there's a bounty of lettuce, carrots, celery, papaya, oat rings and pellets available to her, she still opts for Better Health Living Monthly. Current Mood: amused

 | 05:28 pm Back.
Went to the recruiter's office and took a pretest of the ASVAB which is basically an easy version of the SATs. The score tells you what jobs you qualify for within the air force. I got an 86, which qualifies me for any job. But the real test is next Thursday. Current Mood: busy

 | 07:17 pm I was talking to mom about how I felt like I should've taken this past summer off from school instead of going both summer semesters. Halfway through the first semester, I started feeling burnt-out and unmotivated. Having to write that final 10-page paper was hell, but the A was worth it. I felt better about the second semester because it was so easy and Laura was there, but I was counting down to that one free week I had between the end of the second summer semester and the fall semester. That was the fastest week ever.
So when fall semester started, I had no motivation to do anything. I was hoping that since I wouldn't have classes on Fridays, I would recover quickly. I showed up and did the work, but I didn't do it well. That's why I have B's.
It's worse now, of course. World Lit is absolutely unbearable. I made up an excuse to leave early on Tuesday, then didn't show up on Thursday. Geography is still somewhat interesting, but not interesting enough to get me to study for tests and quizzes. I haven't read any of the assignments lately in Mythology. I barely try in Drawing. Honestly, I don't deserve the grades I'm getting.
Mom said I should take a break before starting my next adventure. She was hesitant to say anything other than adventure. Both the parents are hesitant to even mention it.
My plan is to take winter off, hibernate, prepare myself, then leave in the Spring. Current Mood: blank

 | 07:54 pm Since I already do all the other examples they list and I can't really think of anything off the top of my head...
I promise to copy and print on both sides of paper. Do you? Current Mood: cheerful

Anyone wanna maybe tell me beforehand whether or not Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a hopelessly depressing ending? Current Mood: awake

( The not-so-elusive Bunnyloaf )
Yes, she lays under my desk chair like that and stares at me the majority of the time I'm on the bed.

 | 09:01 am The air force.
Why: It's the best chance I see of traveling the world and becoming a linguist. The benefits such as discounts on travel, hotels and food are great. After working for four years, a decent check every week after retirement is nice too.
I want to be stronger both physically and mentally. I've been coddled my whole life and I want to be more independent.
I want an adventure and I want stories. Everyone in my family has interesting things to talk about while I just sit there and listen because I have nothing to add.
Worries: It isn't guaranteed that I'll get a linguist job. I could end up being a cook at a mess hall if they decide they don't need a linguist so bad.
If I do get a linguist job, I don't choose the language. They tell me what language they need me to learn. While I'm open to any language, it'd be nice if I got a list of the languages they need and got to choose.
Scoot. I know having a pet only becomes a problem if it gets in the way of living your life. I worry about how she'll take my being away for 6 weeks. I worry how well she'll take the flight out to California if that's where I'm going. I worry if they allow rabbits as pets in the school in California.
Questions I ask myself:
Am I smart enough to become fluent in a language in less than two years?
Am I strong enough to make it through the 6 weeks of boot camp in Texas?
Am I too comfortable in m current lifestyle to be able to take any changes to it?
And of course, is this the right decision for me?
I joke that I'm considering the military in order to avoid the college application and transfer process. But I feel that the military offers me a better chance of doing what I want in the long run, more so than any university. Current Mood: thoughtful

 | 05:22 pm The first live penis I ever saw belonged to a fat old hairy bald man who was modeling for our drawing class.
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
Also I am now a lesbian. Current Mood: nauseated

 | 10:21 am We're going to get some advice from a lawyer, but it's looking like we won't be getting any money and the Spanish woman will be going to jail.
We don't have any money to get a new car or even rent a car. Dad can only borrow a truck from his friend for the next couple days, but after that, we have nothing.
We need to make a rent payment. Bills need to be paid. And dad has no way to get to work.
But hey y'know, God never gives you more than you can handle. I try to tell myself that, and it's worked up 'til now. Current Mood: angry

 | 11:06 am Dad was hit by a Spanish woman who ran through a red light. He's fine, but the car's totaled. The woman didn't speak any English but managed to shout "YOUR FAULT YOUR FAULT" at him. She got a ticket for running a red light before she was taken to a hospital. Dad's on the phone with the insurance company right now trying to get a car to use to get to work tomorrow. He thinks he might go to the hospital soon to get looked at.
I really hope we don't have to go to court.
UPDATE: Great, she didn't have insurance. Current Mood: blank

 | 09:42 am Scoot is strangely needy and loyal at times, like a dog. She asks to be petted and sits at the gate to the door when I leave the room.
She's like a really soft dog/cat with big ears. Current Mood: amused

October 22nd, 2009
 | 09:58 am Midterm grades:
Drawing: B Geography: B Literature: B Mythology: A
That's still dean's list. Awesome. Let's just hope I can keep this up. I think I might be able to bump that Lit grade up to an A.
But straight A's are not happening this semester. :C Current Mood: busy

October 21st, 2009
 | 10:03 am Why is it that all we talk about in WORLD Geography is the Middle East and all we talk about in WORLD Literature and WORLD Mythology is the Greeks? Current Mood: annoyed

October 17th, 2009
 | 10:48 am I just finished the Shadow series of Ender's Game, and I won't be reading Ender in Exile until December when the paperback version comes out.
Even though 1984 and 2001: A Space Odyssey are really tempting, I think I might read The Winter of Our Discontent. I dunno. Maybe I'll read the first chapter and if I'm not pulled in, I'll read 1984. Current Mood: busy

 | 01:35 pm It seems like restoring my computer has unintentionally become an annual thing, and always in the fall.
Anyway, upgrading to Windows 7 but before that, I'm going to drop a few hundred gigs.
Man, backing up files takes forever.
Oh and 7 gigs of that free space is going to be taken up by Dungeons and Dragons Online, because I feel like I've more than reached that point in my nerdom. Current Mood: bored

October 2nd, 2009
 | 09:48 am Asked Grandpa and Pop-pop for a sign as to whether or not I should join the air force. Pop-pop was in the air force, Grandpa was in the army.
So I'm watching for any plane crashes or paper planes from heaven. Current Mood: hopeful
