   Home Sickness (well, not really but sort of)
Well, with Halloween over, I can now think ahead to the winter holiday season. Two weeks from today, I'll be going back home for Thanksgiving break. I haven't seen any of my family in over two months. I'm not really homesick, persay, but lets just say I'll be glad to be home for the holidays.

Speaking of traveling, the car ride from here to New Orleans is about 5 hours and this will be my first time making that trip completely alone. Traveling up here, I had my little brother in my car, plus I was in between my mom's SUV and my dad's truck. I'm not too worried though. I know the route home and I trust my driving skills, as long as it isn't raining. I've been petrified about driving in the rain since about two years ago, but I'll tell y'all about that back story some other time. For now let's just hope it's clear down south on Nov 19th.

   Halloween
Hum... How come I always end up disapointed on holidays. Maybe I have standards that are too high.

Halloween didn't really feel too much like Halloween this year. Hardly anyone I know dressed up. We didn't get any Trick-or-Treaters, and I didn't get to go to any sort of Halloween or costume party. Tonight I'm going to console my disapointment by watching scary or such themed anime episodes. Hopefully the a night won't be total lose.

   Getting by...
I figured it was about time for an update, so here I am... hum... what to talk about. Oh, I know.

This weekend was pretty good, I spent most of it at my roomie's house since she lives about 45 minutes from campus and I live 5 hours away. I got some good and free food and got to sleep in a real bed for two nights in a row. (Dorm beds suck.)

Well, Halloween is coming up in a little under 2 weeks, and I don't think I've said yet what I'm dressing up as. I'm going to be cos-playing as Sailor Jupiter this year. I'm pretty satified with the costume and I'm going to cut my bangs next week so that it looks a bit better. I find brunet characters easiest to cos-play since I have brown hair, myself. I think I'll try to post a picture of me in my costume early next month.

I'm Still Happy (to an extent)
I just wanted to continue my little rant on why I'm in a point of happiness. On Monday, I got a care package from my mom with candy for Halloween. Candy is good!
Back to the subject, my classes seem to be easing up a bit mid-term. Don't know why, they just are. Also the fact that Halloween is coming up in the next few weeks. I made my own costume this year and I'm cos-playing, but more about that later.

I'm Happy Now!
Ok I am now very happy for several reasons. The main one is that my computer is finally fixed. (I seem to have bad luck with computers) My computer had been unable to connect to the internet for a week and a half. I want to thank Violinagin for letting me use her laptop while mine was out of commission. It was just fixed a little while ago thanks to the AWSOME Dell tech support people.

In other news, Violinagin and I painted and feng shuied our dorm room. It looks so much better now. The walls were an ugly old white color with paint chipping off the walls at random places. We painted it a nice warm, peach-like color.

Well that's it for my happy news for now.

Mental Problems
OK college is no longer fun, I hate it... just kidding! But anyways, my classes are hard as heck and my grades aren't as high as I'd want them to be. I need at least a 3.0 to get into Vet school. I know I'm only a freshman but I don't want my GPA to slip like it did in high school. Am I weird for obsessing over grades while being on-line and not studying?

   ...and now I'm Bored!!!
And so now that I've spent my first full week of college classes worrying, I've finally been able to get used to being up here. It's a lot different from being home with my parents. I can pretty much do whatever I want, whenever I want; as long as I can afford it and it doesn't get my scholarships revoked. Anyways, my classes are long and boring, but besides that, college is OK.

   OK Now I'm Worried
As some of you may know, I am from New Orleans, LA. I'm now starting to get really worried about my family and friends who are still down there. Since I'm up at college now, I'm out of harm's way, though. Many people don't know this, but it's common knowledge where I live that if a major cat. 5 hurricane makes a direct hit in New Orleans, the levee around the Mississippi River will break and the whole city will be under water.

Many of my friends and family members are making plans to leave and I'm also happy that our current mayor was smart enough to issue evacuation orders yesterday instead of waiting till the last minute.

I was talking to my mom earlier today about what they are doing about Ivan. She said that my brother and uncle went to get plywood for the windows, which is wierd because we've never boarded up our windows for a hurricane. Also, my brother had some trouble finding gas and the traffic getting out of the city is bumper to bumper. As of now they don't plan to leave but my mom said there was the chance they would leave, which is also weird.

I really hope that I don't go home to find my home distroyed or find out any of my friends or family were hurt or worse.

   Is my art really that bad?
I've been on a recent string of submitting art (if you haven't noticed already). I know my art is far from perfect, but a lot of people are voting badly on it and no one is telling me how I can improve. In fact I've only gotten a few positive comments except for one that said one of my Sailor Moon pics was ugly and wouldn't tell me why.
Please people, I'm not that rude, in fact many see me as very nice. If you like my art, vote 'yes', but if you don't, please tell me what's wrong with it and how I can improve. Thank you.
