Star Wars is on youtube. I'm off to watch it before youtube blocks it.

 Update on last's week's to do list.

Most of those done. I didn't go to the library (no time), I didn't draw the Do It Again meme. Or the selling my art thing. Not sure how to go about that last one. :/

Anyway, I was going to apply to Best Buy, but they're looking for really specific computer-savvy people for their jobs. Boo for them. I may apply to Macy's. Later. For now, I have to focus on getting my classes ready for next semester. I'm going to make an appointment to see my counselor.

I have decided. I want to go for Archaeology/Anthropology, with an emphasis in Egyptology. :D Of course, I can't get that specific in community college, but I think an associates degree in history or humanities would be a good, solid foundation. Or maybe I'll just take my general ed classes. (something I'm avoiding like the goddamn bubonic plague. NO MOAR MATHS!) We'll see.

I'm kind of avoiding the thought of getting an art degree because art is something I've always done, it's my safe backup. So If Archaeology proves to be too difficult, art it is.

It's weird that I'm planning this. I mean, it's not weird weird, it's just that I remember vowing never to go back to school just four months ago. I was so sure I was just going to work and not waste all that time and money on school. It's not a bad weird, to clarify. I finally have something I'd very much like to study.

...Huh, the rambling came early tonight. :/

Listening to said New Age CD

Okay, I see now why I thought that CD was full of Egyptian music:

Totally Egyptian
Seriously though, my mom got this pirated CD in Mexico sometime in the late nineties, and there are some serious spelling errors on it. Meat Lofft? Green Slaves? (Meat Loaf and Greensleeves. lol) And the art on it is a seriously bad photoshop job. You gotta give us Mexicans credit though. They could have left the whole thing blank and just sharpied the song names in. (I seriously said serious to many times in this paragraph. Seriously.)

The days are starting to cool down, and I'm kind of happy about it. It means layers, and scarves and boots and stuff. :D Oooh, and hot chocolate. 

Heehee. I slept with socks on last night, something I don't usually like to do.

Eh, I'm off to work out. It'd be nice to have some muscle, you know? Also, Paulina has been teaching me how to bellydance, I'm off to practice. ;P

Shit in my life that only meditation will help.

Had a lot of homework to do... I had to find 40 pictures of reference for my art project. We're supposed to design a monster. I am excited for this project. :D

Anyway, I've been doing research on Egypt. I love Egypt and everything to do with it, but I don't know if archaeology is what I'm interested in, exactly. Don't get me wrong, archaeology is awesome, but I wonder if it'd be one of those things that I would quickly lose interest in.

I need to do some serious serious soul-searching right now and think of what I want to do next semester. Should I just start on my boring-as-hell general ed classes? Should I keep doing art, but take four or five classes this time? Should I start on my epic journey towards becoming an egyptologist? Should I just give school the middle finger and get a job? Is the army still an option? I have a ton to choose from.

Mom's going to be starting another round of chemo on Monday. The doc says it'll be another six months of it. I don't even know what to say to that. I'm fucking tired of it, I cannot even begin to imagine what my mom's going through right now. I hate seeing her so down. It makes me want to punch things.

This post started shallow and took a dive into the deep end. I think I'm going to start meditating again.
