Class pissed me off today. I don't know if this girl was just stupid or lazy (probably lazy) because every damn class she always takes up the teacher's time. "I need help with this, I don't know how to sew that, nothing makes sense" For fucks sake I think you should just stop coming to class. She had been doing that all semester and for the most part it's just annoying, but now that everyone needs some help it's not only annoying but pretty damn rude.
I try to keep my questions short. "Is this right? Do I just sew here?" because I know other people have questions as well. I actually needed some genuine help this time because I just wasn't getting something (dat button hole) and I apparently did some things wrong without realizing ... This bitch kept nagging the teacher while she was helping me. Fucking rude.
Anyways, that little bit aside ... I started working on the fourth chapter for Black Feathers and then decided I wanted to write it a little differently from the last few chapters ... and then decided to rewrite the whole thing lol. Luckily, it's not that long so redoing it won't be that bad. I'm basically going to condense the first three chapters into one and what was going to be chapter 4 will now be chapter 2.
Um ... I'll probably finish that up by next week. I have my final projects to work on still so ... yeah >.>
In other news, my boyfriend gave me back my xbox but I haven't had time to plug it in yet. I will probably do that next week as well lol.

If you want to protest against APEC, protest against the traffic it causes.
Holy shit.
I was at the bus stop for an hour yesterday because of APEC. It was windy and raining and cold (for Hawaii) so I was not in a good mood. I had to ask my parents to pick me up because it was about 6:15 (I had gotten out of class at 5:30) and my bus didn't come. There were buses, but they didn't go into town, where I lived, they went straight past that ;-; My boyfriend couldn't pick me up cause he was at work either, so I had to call my parents.
It wasn't until after I called them that the bus I needed to take finally came. Man, I was pissed, and cold, and hungry. My parents took me out to eat at least, but the A/C was on in the car, making it still cold so I was still in a bit of a mad mood >.>
So today is a holiday and I am not leaving the fucking house. Not when traffic is gonna be that bad. Yesterday was one of those days where, if you didn't come in to work everyone understood why. Some people were unable to get into town completely and one of my classes was cancelled yesterday because of the road closures. If only they all could have been cancelled, but no, I still had sewing class.
Hm ... I also need to pick up fabric for my tank top, and start on that skirt still. Fuuuuu so much work to do, but I wanna relax and play video games ;-;

NaNoWriMo Day 1
Didn't go well. I have 500 words so far, and mostly didn't do as much as I could have because I got into an argument with a friend and we spent a long time going back and forth. I also had a lot of school work to do ... and I went for dinner with my boyfriend.
It was a very nice dinner with yummy unagi rice :3
Tomorrow I work, so I won't make much progress on it either, probably, but I can afford to stay up late since my teacher for one of my classes is still gone for the week.
Oh boy, I have to get started on my paper for my religion class too. It's due at the end of the month. I just need to find a slightly obscure, not too unknown country to write about regarding witchcraft lol. Five page papers are quite easy to crank out, especially since my professor was very specific about what he wanted, so there's a lot of questions the paper needs to answer. I fear that five pages may not be enough D:

I recently got a new laptop, YAY! My dad gave me his old one which is not so old and way more awesome than what I had before, but that also meant moving all my documents and games over. Thankfully, the process went smoothly, but this resolution ... I can see two pages in Word side by side, it's HUGE ._.
School's been kicking my butt lately. Since my last post I've done two illustration projects and three sewing projects. Well, two actually. I'm still in the middle of putting together my skirt, but I have shorts and an ugly muslin ... sheath, done. After the skirt there's still a blouse or tanktop and an aloha shirt. If you're unfamiliar with aloha shirts, they are shirts with aloha prints. Standard business attire here in the islands. I'll probably make mine for my boyfriend so he can wear it at work :P Or my nephew ... or my dad ... Maybe all three lol.
Sewing class is admittedly getting a little overwhelming. I've been skipping one of my classes to give me more time to work on my sewing. It doesn't help that some assignments require a serger and the only serger I can use is at school because they're $200 if I buy one. Granted I've dropped money for $200 things in the past, but I don't know where I'd put the serger. My sister's stuff takes up too much room in our bedroom and I already have to set up the sewing machine on the kitchen table and put it away when done. Plus, sergers aren't fun to thread. My teacher does it for us, and it looks so hard. It's not like with a basic sewing machine, you only gotta worry about the top thread and the bobbin. Sergers have the top thread, bottom thread, upper looper and lower looper and they each have separate tension dials. My head hurts just thinking about trying to thread one @_@
Illustration class is not too bad. My teacher is really lenient and helpful. I have a lot of issues drawing faces and hands ... and shoes, actually. Granted, for fashion the faces don't have to be spectacular, same with the shoes and the hands. They can be pretty basic since the main thing is that the clothes look great, but I look at the face and I think "Man, I wish it looked better". I'm sure I'll get better with more practice. I'll probably take some art classes next semester since I might not be able to take many classes related to my major (QQ) I might take fashion production though X3 My friend is going to show his line in the spring show, so that'll be exciting :D
Now, I can actually talk a bit about some video games I've been playing. First on the list is Darksiders.
With my AWESOME new laptop I can now play Darksiders with no problem. I'm not far into it enough to have a real good impression of it, but so far I like it. It's a little confusing though because at one point I was slashing at this boss and then realized I'm supposed to be throwing cars at him ... I'm still getting used to the controls so I can only slash at things right now, but I think I will eventually get the hang of it. I always did in Devil May Cry lol.
The other game I've been playing is Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns. It just came out last month for Nintendo DS in the US and will be released on 3DS next month. Okay, what I don't get with Harvest Moon is that this game has recycled the same mechanics (growing crops and raising livestock) and I still feel as though I have to get the latest one. I don't understand why I get so addicted to this game ._. I think it's the most interesting one I've played yet and certainly has an interesting plot, but I noticed that after Year 2 it could actually start to get a little boring since there's no love rivals and only one main plot that finishes kind of quick. That seems pretty standard for all Harvest Moon games though and they seem to sell fine :P Harvest Moon > Farmville, any day.
I also have Space Marine and Assassin's Creed 2 & Brotherhood waiting to be played. The xbox is at my boyfriend's place still, and probably will be until the end of the semester ;-; Whenever I go to his place I always end up playing Fable more >.> I keep playing it for my stories though so I know where things are and what not, or what the houses look like on the inside.
Speaking of Fable ... no progress on any chapter yet lol. I've been so bogged down with school (and Harvest Moon) that I never made any progress. November is coming up too and I wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo. Not sure how well that will turn out since all the due dates for all my classes are in November.
Oh man, November is next week.
This post turned out a lot longer than I thought it would, but it's been a while since I felt like I had something to rant about. It feels ... relaxing :3
