Though in a lot of ways this was kind of a crappy semester compared to the previous three, the last couple weeks turned out so well that I'm not sure whether to consider it my worst semester or second-worst anymore. It might have actually been better than the spring semester of last year, if only because of how well the last couple weeks went. Here's what I ended up accomplishing this year...
- Made a comic book in Spanish about Señor Death. This was my Spanish IV final project, and it turned out really well. Check out my other blog for links to every page if you want to read it (it's also on Facebook, but... eh.)
- Drew pictures for some of my friends leaving SVU. Unfortunately not all of them (or even close...) because I was so busy these last weeks, but I did get seven or eight pictures drawn and given to people who won't be coming back next year. Sorry to the other 16 or so people I didn't manage to get to before then... I really wanted to draw stuff for all of you, but I just didn't have enough time. I should've started on them earlier...
- Made a Muppet. A Muppet that looks like my dad, to be specific. This was a project for my Sculpture class this semester.
- Did a buttload of other art stuff. Mostly printmaking, but I'm pretty happy with most of my prints from this year (swirly Yogurt Snail, girl walking away from crowd of creepy featureless people, and the watercolored pineapple especially. The Parupoos were pretty good too.)
- Played Scrabble for 3 hours. DEATHTANKS: unfortunately not a word. Yeah, that was random. XD I wish there were more of those days where you just have tons of time to do random fun stuff with friends, but that hasn't happened too often this semester, between everyone else being busy earlier on and me being busy toward the end!
- Won 2nd place in the Heart of the OHR contest with The K'hyurbhi Lands. Technically I did this last semester, but the results didn't come out until early this semester, so I'm going to include it here.
- Signed up for off-campus housing. No more having to put up with 7-8 other guys in the same house! No more 15-minute walk up from Boredom Hell every day! I'll finally have my own apartment, with no RAs breathing down my neck all the time! Oh, and I'll have a mailbox down there in addition to the school one, so I'll be able to get my mail without walking up on campus (assuming it gets delivered to that mailbox and not the school one, anyway.) Again, this really applies more to next year than right now, but... I did the paperwork and such this semester.
- First ever checking account. Yep. I now have a checking account (and a debit card to go with it... but no actual checks so far. XD) There's only ~50 bucks left in it now, but once I get my housing deposit back from SVU that will change.
- Explored odd places in Buena Vista. I'm guessing I'll have walked pretty much every street in this town by the time I graduate. This semester, I discovered another whole chunk of the place that I didn't know about before, with roads that go up and down really big hills. I also re-discovered the spot where you can climb down into this weird little concrete "creekbed" under a bridge (no water anytime I've been there, but I guess it's a flood prevention thing?) that winds around several areas in town. I had stumbled across this before, but forgotten how to get there.
- Lost 5 pounds. Not sure how I did it, but apparently I am down to 235 (last time I weighed myself I was hovering around 240.) This must have been pretty recent since the last time I got on a scale it was during Spring Break, and I was still 240 then.
