I'll be fine.

Hello Blogger.

Its been nearly 3 weeks since I've posted anything new but hey, life isn't a movie I don't always have something exciting or interesting to write about. Although this may be, I have a bit of catching up to do.

School has been somewhat rough academically. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing fine. It's just that some of these classes can be somewhat draining. One of which physically. I take a running class in college and I literally feel as if my legs have fallen off, and as if I'm missing one of my lungs after every class. The class is intense. Really intense. At the very least, even if I'm not physically in good health I've improved. At the begging of the quarter I could literally only run 3/4 of a lap and it felt like I was in immeasurable pain. But by the third week of school I ran an entire mile without even having to breath hard. The run felt very light and somewhat relaxing. I also take an audio production class. This class comes pretty easy to me in terms of lectures and note taking and studying those notes. We have a project due next week in which we have to mimic analog recording (the way that recording was done before Tommy Dowd advanced the system). We basically have to record an infomercial live without any editing at all and it must reach 30 seconds on the dot. This may sound easy but to get everything completely right is somewhat of a challenge (although I'm confident I'll do perfectly). Aside from opening and setting the proper settings on pro tools and assembling your materials (which includes writing your infomercial, finding music to fit the background,  a person to speak for you, and booking the recording studio) the steps of recording this infomercial are pretty simple. It's a matter of timing that can get a person busted. Piano I is pretty simple. Nothing I haven't learned before, so that class will definitely an easy A. English 101 is alright. I'm doing all right in the class. The assigned readings are actually pretty interesting and lectures themselves are pretty enticing. I still have about two more essays to write (according to the syllabus) about the current book we are reading, which I am not happy about, obviously xD but it'll be fine. I also have to attend 3 library workshops for this class (I've already gone through one) and I'm not very happy about that either. Women in Literature ( a class I took to fill 12 units) is my least favorite. I do not like the teacher at all. I absolutely hate the assigned reading she assigns (although I read them because I must) and her lectures can be somewhat enticing but its my last class on Tuesdays and Thursdays followed after my three hour morning class, and by the time I get there I'm already dreaming  of my bed. Furthermore she's assigned us a four page essay on 'Visions of Creation: Consider Mary Shelley's framed tale, Frankenstein, The Modern Prometheus. At its heart lies the Monster's Lament. How do you make sense of Shelley's choices in the characterization of the 'fiend,' his creation, and the image of 'the male mother/creator/giver of life'? What do you think she was trying to say - consciously and perhaps unconsciously?
I suppose this could be an interesthing write, but I am not keen about writing this. At all. This assignment is due on Thursday. I'm planning on skipping this class on Tuesday just so  I can spend Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday writing this rather then trying to do it when I get home (in which case I am always extremely exhausted and too drained to function).

Other then worrying about school things, this weekend has been pretty lovely although simple. Friday I spent in relaxation, reading through most of the day and sleeping. Saturday was spent its usual way and Sunday I finally was able to buy the macbook pro I've been wanting since forever. 


Aside from that news I've been brainstorming a couple of new projects which I hope I can get into action as quickly as possible, but they're still on their beginning stages and I have limited time, because of college, homework, and trying to juggle reading four books this semester (two of which are assigned [a walk in the woods, cousin bette).  The other two are The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Meserables, both written by victor hugo, both I am extremely keen to finally read.

Welp. I think that covers most of it, although I know I've probably left out a couple of things, as I always do. xD

Thanks for reading x
