I never realized how terminally dull American history is outside of a war. And the books tend to gloss over those in a few paragraphs yet spend chapters on tariffs and politics. It's not even good politics where people plotted on each other and there were assassinations or poison or wars. It's just old white men in suits harumphing a lot. Even in a 6...

you know, i did get sick once after acupuncture before. but NOTHING like this... uuugh. i am drinking lots of water though... but still feeling like crap.
Looking at 7 classes and 21 credits in the Fall term. Damn. Better start stocking up on caffeine. That's an estimated 12-14 papers since they're all History classes. 
I feel a melancholy mood coming on. Kind of mood where I'm sitting in a dark room with a drink in my hand as the rain taps against my window. Slow jazz plays and the saxophone echoes...

Update Edition:
Finished the Spring Semester with 4 As and 1 F (expected). Still trying to find out what Miami-Dade College wants from me which is keeping me from registering for summer classes. Registered for Fall classes though I need to declare my double-major before Financial Aid will give me anymore money (I don't understand why they're trying to stop me from getting further into...

Well, 1 final exam down. Come tomorrow, 3 more to go, on the same day. *sigh* And then a 20 page paper to complete by next Tuesday.
Been listening to old Bowie while studying (how did I not have Station to Station before?). Odd how old Bowie makes me want to paint again. Wish I had the space to bust out an easel and my...

As the end of the semester gets closer I fight harder against my growing apathy. It's a Spring thing. And Fall looks to have turned into poop. Three classes remaining and none really convenient. A 3-hour drive for a 50 minute class, 3 times a week. One of the required classes is with a teacher that I have now and there is no way in...

i think maybe i am being girlie, but i guess i'm allowed to be every now and then!
Frakk! Seven more papers due between now and April 12. It comes out to 48 more pages to write minimum.
My eyes already want to bleed in anticipation of more reading. I'm also looking at 4 compressed Intro to History classes in the Summer. And 3 more History/writing classes in the Fall. And now at least one of those classes will have to be at...

8 more weeks until the semester from Hell ends. Never make the mistake of taking 5 History courses at once. At least it will make my final semester in the Fall a bit easier. Come December I'll graduate with a double major: History and Interdisciplinary Studies - Arts & Humanities, with a minor in Art History. I'm sure the job offers will start flooding in!...

The classes are Medieval History, The Age of Revolutions (French and Industrial), America in the 1960s, and Constitutional History of America. Not much overlap thankfully but it does tend to blur at times. The fifth class is on writing papers so it's just a 20 page paper on the Automobile Industry in Detroit from the 1940s to the 1960s. Each of the first 4 classes has either 1 long paper (12-15 pages) or 2 shorter 6-8 page papers and long essay midterms and finals.
Makes me miss the days when I was an Animation major. Even Graphic Design looks good again...okay, not really.

Hail.
Gee, Alex, it's 3 in the morning and you have a 9:30 class tomorrow, why are you still awake?
Well, fictional voice in my head, it's because someone couldn't pull themselves away from WoW to exercise enough common sense to not let me sleep all day.
But why didn't you set your alarm?
Because said person went to sleep late and I wanted to let...

Been putting this off long enough, so as Tropical Storm Ernie creeps upon me, here's an actual post into my blog. I guess I better start with intro shit for archival purposes.
My name's Alex, known over most of the Interwebs as Wyrdlyng since about 1991 (wyrd as in Fate; so it comes out to "creature of fate"). I'm of Hispanic descent (story of...
