Hooray, my schedule ended up working out! It's a simple schedule and I feel like that's for the best... I'd rather inch forward this semester than get too overwhelmed and have to stop or drop a class again. Anyway, I'm taking the second semester of general Chemistry (Chem 1B), Introduction to Digital Art, and Creative Writing.

My first session of Creative Writing was pretty much amazing. :D I showed up and discovered that the classroom was incredibly full with people who had signed up for the class plus several trying to add, and I thought "Ah, there's no way I'm going to be able to add..." I had to stand in the corner for much of the class, along with a few other people. But when Hotchkiss addressed us, he said "Oh, I guess we'll just have to get a bigger room!" We kind of thought he was joking at first, but now he says he's going to do everything in his power to make sure everyone who wants to take the class gets to (expressly against the orders of the school, who said not to add anyone above the set maximum) and gave an add code to everyone who wanted one.

This is one of the only classes where I actually participate actively in the discussions and act really outgoing. I found several NaNo-ers, along with a friend from a Chemistry class a while back. This one guy kept discussing during the class as well, so after class he, Stephanie, and I stood outside of the classroom for a while and talked about writing, plots, killing our characters off, and so on. :D Lots of fun! I like finding people who have similar taste in storytelling to mine, because my tastes are slightly peculiar I think.

I also volunteered to read some of my writing next time, so I'm going to have to dig around to find something presentable and short enough. It has to be four pages or shorter, and most of my writing is anywhere from five to...long, so I might have to do some hunting. If I don't find anything I'll just write something new before Tuesday. He said we'll be writing two or three twenty-page stories (but that's double-spaced, so more like ten pages by my standards), so I'm excited to see what I end up writing.

I'm waiting for this extremely large Shopping Mall Japan box but they sent it later than expected. :( I can't wait for it to come--it's got lots of exciting things, including a Pokémon collecting holy grail for me, and a BIG ADOOORABLE Pikachu plush and just...so much fun stuff it makes me all giddy even thinking of it all. It's like opening a present in a way because a lot of pictures of the items were vague enough that I'm not entirely sure of what many of the things I'm getting are in some of the random lots. I can't wait. ♥ Also, I have tons of things to sell in said box, and I do need to sell things because I have to pay for the shipping on the box and my all my newer plush lots.

Once that box arrives, I will post my collection. :D I've been putting it off forever because I ALWAYS have more things in the mail, but I've realized by now that that is an inevitability of life and I should just post my collection anyway. You guys will...be afraid and impressed at the same time, most likely. Probably more afraid than anything else. XD I spent five hours the other day rearranging the collection and I rearranged it in such a hardcore matter that I injured my back for a while. Thankfully it was better by the next day, but...ow.

Ummmm other than the fact that I'm in Chemistry and scared about that, life is pretty good. I have a sore throat mysteriously, but it's not too bad and I'm otherwise feeling very upbeat/energetic/positive. I'm going birdwatching tomorrow at Graylodge with my mom probably, and I might go to an Inauguration Party at the same place I went to the Election Party. Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release is having our first meeting of the year next Saturday to discuss what our animal rehab plans are this year, and I'm looking forward to that as well. :D

I've been having some weird/intense dreams lately... I had one the other night that my brother's friend's mom was trying to kill me while I was up in Tahoe or something with her. She kept trying to poison my food, or inject me with things, but this was all done in a very quiet manner where I hardly noticed it was going on, and she was pleasant towards me outwardly. Originally I found out because her daughter told me "I think my mom is trying to kill you" and then Ryan told me later that he thought she was, too. I can't remember that many details, but the dream was extremely intense and detailed and sort of...pseudo realistic in that dreamy way. The dream ended with her bringing a bunch of guys with rifles to find me and I remember cowering on the ground with around five rifles pointed at me while I still tried to think of ways to escape. Then they shot me and the dream ended. D:

Last night I dreamed about...dolphin people. O__o; I was walking around this city (in a video game...?) with Nicole by this harbor, and these dolphins were swimming near the shore. Nicole and I charged out into the water (for some reason I was concerned because she was ahead of me in rushing into the water), and I ended up going with the dolphins in the water...somewhere...and at some point during the dream the dolphins became more like merpeople but with half their body as a dolphin instead of unspecified fish. I don't know what spurred this or what it had to do with anything.

I was going to do the OTP meme and I still might, but...I can't seem to decide which pairings I love prominently enough and which ones are guess-able to begin with. I need to stop overthinking silly things like memes. XD
