azuriteUgh. What a day. I think. Hi! I haven't updated in a while, but I'm not dead! It just feels like it. I've gone through bouts of sickness, bad moods, inability to write... the whole "everything that can go wrong HAS gone wrong" phase... let's just skim, shall we?
(1) Denied admissions to Rutger's. That which I had thought was impossible has become possible. The official letter says that "The credentials submitted in support of my application were carefully evaluated but did not place me among those students who could be offered admissions in this very competitive environment." *cough* Mike got in with a 2.5 Cumulative. Then again, he transfered from SRJC. They did say I stand a better chance if I apply again when I have 12 college credits. Now that I think about it, that wouldn't be too hard. I have 3 already... so if I get 9, from 3 classes... *shrugs*
I don't want to go to City College. Or any other community college, for that matter. I want to go to a University. I feel like a total failure, and somehow, even when I say I'm nto giving up, that I'll petition... I dunno, it seems kind of empty. When I first saw the not admitted thing on the web (you were here for that) I thought it was a mistake or something... *sigh* I guess not. Still, I'm going to call this guy from the admissions office, see if there's some sort of appeal I can make.
(2) On the bright [flip] side, I finally have WDKY8 out. It's over 350KB, and I was afraid it wouldn't upload at first. And it didn't-- because FFnet doesn't let people post URLs in their fics. I guess that makes sense, since people could link to porn, but GEESH! >_< Anyway, so it's up on FFnet, MMorg, and Darkness Rising. Turns out I left out a couple of scenes I'd come up with, but I can always write them in for Parts 9 and 10-- critical-type chapters, even though 9 is the equivalent of an "anime filler." Hehe. I hope to get started on that soon; matter of fact, I wanna write as much as I can for ANY chapter, so I can get parts out of the way.
More good news... people have been joining BEA! And now that WDKY's out with the official announcement, I hope to grab even more members. That would rock. I should check TFL.org though, see if the biznatch that stole my original FL idea got his/her FL up. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing I didn't get it, as BEA is focused on the ROMANTIC aspect of a relationship with Seto and Anzu... TFL has some idiotic rule about all FLs focusing on pairings have to be GENERAL, unless there's already an existing relationship for it that's specifically Friendship/Romantic. So I applied for the Yuugiou Fanfiction: Kaiba Seto x Mazaki Anzu FL-- with them as the primary stars, is there any doubt the fic would be romantic? ^_^ *grin*
What else...? Decided to blow $25 on an FFX and Kingdom Hearts guide from Amazon.com-- should be here in 5-8 days. :) Whee. I think I can hold off on playing for that long. Also bought my new Fast Pass (do I still look 16? No way I'm paying $45!!) and 2 new packs of Yu-Gi-Oh cards-- Dark Crisis and Legend of Blue Eyes. No really fantastic cards, but... eh. :) I wanna duel somebody, though. Been itchin' to for a while now.
Today's Friday, huh? Doesn't feel like it.
Oh yeah, I got my first write-up. For being late to work-- an hour and 20 mins, to be precise. I thought I had a shift from 12-8, but it was from 1030-615. >_< I might have mentioned that already. I should get to bed before I have any more brain farts.

Date: 2004-02-06 02:49 pm (UTC)But just to save face here, I didn't choose to be at this school, it was a last minute thing that I had no choice in... yeah.
At CCSF...
Date: 2004-02-07 08:15 am (UTC)And then, lack of resources. Not to mention the campus is in the middle of F*in nowhere (imho). Finally, I can't stand being in a class with people 30 years older than me. Teachers fine-- but classmates? NO.
The catch is, you need 12+ credits to transfer to any "real" school like a UC, Rutger's, USC, etc. *sigh* And it's not that easy to get so many credits in one sitting.
