I've survived another week of school! It's only getting harder. I really should keep up, but I've still been adjusting.

There's a million things I want to talk about. I'll just start with school.

( WANT TO SEE MY CLASSROOM? )

My parents and I have also finally done our living room a justice and got a REAL DVD case for our massive collection.

( I LOVE PICTURES TODAY... )

I actually also did some reorganizing of my own. I sold an assload of Korean CDs, and I finally had enough room on my CD/DVD cases to make one a fully CD case and the other a DVD case.

( JUST 1 PICTURE... )

I brought in some DVDs from the living room to my room to fill up the DVD side though. I brought in the rest of my Scrubs DVDs, all 5 of the Harry Potters, Ugly Betty, and my favorite movies that I usually pick to watch when I get bored and need something in the background. Yayz. ♥.

I'm hoping to sell some more CDs though. I want to reorganize my CD collection a bit better.

While we were driving back from vaccines and errands on Thursday, I saw the craziest cloud/sunlight formation ever. I tried to capture it with my iphone. It's not the most accurate picture, but it's still pretty neat.

( CLOUDS AND SUN... )

Just that small opening in the clouds and all this light was shooting down from it. It was so amazing.

My friends are nerds. Alma had on these crazy shades, and I took a picture of her with them on while we ate at Sweet Tomatoes. Then, I asked if I could try them on and asked her to take a picture. And I love when I come up with this crap - so I made everyone put them on.

( 2 COOL 4 SCHOOL... )

NERDZ. But ♥.

UM. EVEN WITH SCHOOL, I DO NOT FALL BEHIND ON DRAMAS.

AND OMG, THEY ONLY GET BETTER WHEN I'M GOING TO SCHOOL. D:

( ILJIMAE SPOILERS UP TO EPISODE 18 - CAPSLOCK WARNING... )

EPISODE 19, WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUU!!

I can't believe there are only 2 more episodes left. So good. I'm going to miss it after next week. :\
---

AND, OF COURSE, MY JDRAMAS. I am currently watching Code Blue and Maou. But, to be honest, MAOU OWNS CODE BLUE SO HARD THAT OHNO IS THROWING TAROT CARDS AT YAMAPI'S CURLS. Really.

I cannot get enough of Maou. I cannot wait for next week's episode. I have never loved Ohno so much in my entire life. I LOVE how he seems so kind and reserved when he talks to psychic girl, and then it's all like REDFACEDEVILGLARES.

I wish the writers would GIVE HIM SOME MORE LINES THOUGH. I MEAN, I LOVE CREEPY DEATH STARES AS MUCH AS THE NEXT FANGIRL, BUT THE KID IS SO CUTE WHEN HE TALKS. D:

ILU OHNO. YOU AND NINO ARE SO MY OTP FOREVER AND EVER AND LIFE.

I need Ohno!Devil icons RIGHT NOW. I will make some tonight. I wanted to make some new icons in general.

And I think this post is long enough.

I'm hoping __liz sends me awesome new music. I need new things to listen to.

LATERDAYS.

I dug up my old Nintendo DS (NOT EVEN THE LITE! XD), bought a R4, and am now currently going crazy trying to figure out what games to play.

RECOMMEND ME YOUR FAVORITE NINTENDO DS GAME!

So far, I'm playing -

Brain Age 1 & 2
Cooking Mama 1 & 2
Wario Ware Touched
Nodame Cantabile
---

I wanted to get the R4 to see if I would actually play games often enough to buy a DS Lite. I've always wanted one because they are so freaking cute. The white one is so nice.

I have a lot to blog about! My life is full of crazies.

(If this is against the rules, I'm terribly sorry. >.<)

I have been working on a Cedric/Hermione story, and I've posted it on fanfiction.net. I would love to have you guys read and review it, I'll post the link...

On Friday, Liz, Amanda, and I hung out. We had Yummy Grill sushi, went to Nordstroms Rack (I bought a pair of black flats!), went to Target, and rented Be Kind Rewind which was hilarious in a very independent film sort of way. It was a fun day.

Yesterday, Liz, Amanda, Alma, and I had dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. DELICIOUS. I haven't had it in so long. It was delicious. After, we went to Old Navy (didn't buy anything YAYZ) and then we went to Michaels. We bought those colored strand things to make lanyards! You know, those things that you used to make in like elementary school? Well, I never learned how to make them! So, Amanda and Liz taught me yesterday. It was super fun and only semi-confusing. I can make lanyards now. HAHA.

My plans for the day include mostly a lot of reading. I really don't know how far in advance I need to be reading and what classes actually require reading, so I'm just going to go for it in the mean time. I finally organized all of my planner/phone stuff, so I'm pretty much set to go now.

Getting started seems to be the hardest part!?

...BTW, the weekend seems to go by so fast. It's scary!

I survived the first week of graduate school.

I'm going to start by saying how utterly terrified I am. Don't get me wrong, I didn't assume getting a Master's would be cake on cake, a walk through the park. I just...didn't think it would be as intense and demanding as it is currently appearing either.

I mean, by Day 2 of Orientation, I was near tears.

To summarize my week - ( I'll spare you with an LJ cut... )

I actually haven't gone to all of my classes yet. I think the only one I'm missing is my Fieldwork Orientation Seminar class which I only have on Tuesdays for 3 hours. I think it's prep stuff before they send us off into fieldwork next semester.
---

So. there you have it. I'm in graduate school. I'm scared. And I'm going to be busy. Very busy.

And there hasn't been crying yet. But according to the staff, someone will be crying during fieldwork. They apparently take bets on who will be the one to crack. I put $20 on myself.

I think this whole experience would be less terrifying if Liz or Amanda was there with me. I think half of the battle is that I'm sort of alone. I want to try and convince one of them to apply to the program. Atleast if they were in it, I wouldn't feel so unsure and so nervous the whole time. It's scary what friendship can do for your entire self-esteem and confidence level.

The thing is, I am not overly independent OR co-dependent, although I perfer to be by myself a lot of the time. That doesn't mean I'm anti-social either because I like interacting and jokes and such. It's just - this is sort of my first time I'm on my own. I don't know. It's hard to explain.

I've already figured out how to get through this though. WORK ONE SEMESTER AT A TIME. I currently have 6 courses this semester - 15 credits. I'm going to do whatever it takes to take care of this semester and worry about next semester when the time comes. I think that's the only way to survive this whole thing. Because if I keep thinking about my two 12-week fieldwork clinicals in my 2nd year, I'm going to have a mental breakdown.

I'm sure this post is all over the place and half of it will make much sense, but I had to throw it out there so that I remember what this first week was like. I hope a year from now, I read this and get nostalgic.

And for the TOO LONG, DIDN'T READ CROWD - I'M ALIVE. ♥.
