"Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts. Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours."
i can't afford to buy my dad a sweet gift, so i'm making him cupcakes that look like sushi. i went to 7/11 and bought a bunch of candies shaped like fish, frogs and sharks to put on top. i haven't found the white sprinkles shaped like rice yet, so i might use coconut flakes instead....i hope he gets it. lol it might just look like cupcakes with a bunch of random things tossed on. but whatever. who doesn't love cupcakes?! right? right. i have two more birthdays and my parents anniversary coming up still. just letting everyone know: expect homemade gifts from me for a while. personally i have more fun making gifts than hunting around for gifts anyway.
i figured out my school schedule for this year. should be interesting. i sign up for my courses on friday, hopefully i get into the ones i want, i don't think there will be a problem, but you never know. i also get my wisdom teeth out friday morning, so i'm going to be tired, hungry (which is a good combo for grouchy) and probably loopy on pain meds. my dad's helping me sign up for school, but i'm still semi-worried about it. i'd rather do things like this myself.
courses (i hope) i'm taking:
-history of visual communications (art history)
-modern to contemporary (art history)
-death and concepts of the future (religion)
-introduction to psychology (psychology...duh)
-later byzantine art and architecture (art history)
-field trip to minneapolis (art history)
-film theory (film)
-renaissance to baroque art and architecture (art history)
-roman art and archaeology (classical studies)
-the animated film
and if everything goes to plan, to get my double major degree, i will only need to take one science course, the 3rd yr art history field trip (to nyc or chicago) and an art history course focusing on ww2 and/or canadian art. i also found out that i didn't have to pay as much for school as i thought i did! bonus!
the end to my first degree is near! it's exciting to feel that i'm actually accomplishing something. i hope to get an internship or work in a gallery next summer. i would have this summer but i was to late in the game to apply by a week. lame.
i also really want to work at the library near my house, but hey aren't looking right now. i have to do a typing test and such before i can apply there any way. i did a trial yesterday online and i can time between 56-62 words a minute. which is good enough, because the library only asks for 40 wpm. hurra! i'll just have to keep my eyes and ears open.
i bought the book running with scissors the other day. excited to read it. i've seen the film and thought it was alright, but i'm assuming the book will be lovely. it'll be a while before i get to read it though because i'm still working on mr. norrel and jonathan strange (which i'm finally making progress on) and then i have to read sex drugs and coca puffs by chuck klosterman, and THEN i will read running with scissors. i'm always open to book suggestions, so if you have any novels you want to give a shout out to, shout away, i'm listening!
oh and here's a song for your ears:
