musing #110: college, YouTube, and other randomnesses
I haven’t been on for a really long time. Reasons:
1. College.
I’m TWO days away from being done with my Maymester class (Communication), which will put me at 60 credit hours, and that will make me a Junior. Last semester was an 18-hour semester for me and finals were crazy. When is my life NOT crazy? Seriously, I’m starting to wonder. However, I do think that I do better when I’ve got a million things to do, as opposed to just one thing. So maybe it’s for the better that I’m doing things this way.
2. YouTube.
I recently got faster internet (there was a plug in the wrong place, slowing down our internet by a LOT…for YEARS…oh I’m so mad) and discovered the wonderful world of YouTube. Mostly I watched a million videos by one user, but I’m slowly branching off. I need to watch AVPM and AVPS, but I don’t have the energy to watch those right now. I’m also wanting to make my own videos, but there’s the issue of video editing and stuff, so that may take a while before it actually happens.
3. Boys.
I won’t get into this very much, but I’ve been having guy issues again. Got over all my guys, found a new one, and now said new one isn’t replying to my texts or, you know, trying. I really don’t have the energy to go through all of this crap again right now, so I’m not going to keep trying here. Maybe I should, but I won’t know until later.
4. Twitter.
@celiac_princess . Go follow me. Seriously, I tweet a lot of random stuff, a lot of gluten free stuff, and a lot of writing stuff. Basically, I tweet a lot.
5. Longboarding.
I bought one, Friday. It isn’t super long; not much longer than my skateboard, actually. About 30 1/2 inches, for those of you that are skateboard people. 59mm wheels, but I’m PROBABLY going to get bigger wheels. My big brother (for those of you that either know me personally or have been following me for a while, it’s Travis…not my REAL brother, but pretty darn close) has like 70mm wheels and his rolls a lot easier than mine. Plus his is longer. I’m kind of iffy on whether I should have gotten a longer one or not, but for now I’m just going to concentrate on NOT falling.
6. Graduations.
My longtime friend (since, uh, 6th grade…so 8 years?), Trevor, graduated from college a few weeks ago. He’s my age but did tons of dual credit in high school, graduated a year early, and then finished college in two and a half. He’s technically graduating in August but walked the stage this May. I made the two hour trip to watch him graduate, and it was nice. Except for the little bit of awkwardness that followed, but I won’t get into that. It’s kind of more of a boy problem than anything else.
My high school’s graduation is this Friday, and I’m going to that. I’ve got a bunch of people I’d like to see walk the stage. But that means that it’ll have been a year since I graduated - gave my speech, walked the stage, went to grad night - it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. At all. I don’t feel like I’ve learned the things I should have, done the things I needed to, or met everyone I should have. I met a lot of great people, don’t get me wrong, but it just feels weird. But I digress. That’s it’s own topic.
A friend from BPA is graduating on May 27th of this year. That’s EXACTLY a year after me. I wish I could go visit him, but I highly doubt that’s in the cards this year. *sad penguin* I won’t dwell on that.
My baby cousin is graduating on June 3rd. She obviously isn’t a baby, since she’s GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL. Holy crap. I’ve gotta get up to Chicago. That’s another list item as well.
That’s my list for now. I’ll have to finish it tomorrow, since my time is now going to be spent writing a speech and studying for my final. Which is tomorrow.
