I really need to update more. :\
13 years ago
Well, it's been nearly a year since I last updated my journal. :O
It's also nearly the anniversary of the arson that happened to our church. I'm pretty sure they caught the guy (girl? I don't know) already. I think they got them with federal charges.
Anyways, our church is going to be taken down this week, in order to be completely rebuilt. We've been going to mass in a separate building since the fire. It's not so bad really, if you ignore the disco ball in the ceiling. XD
Also, about the Chocolate Lab we got last year? Bailey's doing just fine, but Sassy's in a better place now...
My uncle's house. (Hey, they treat her like royalty over there.)
We ended up giving her to my aunt and uncle, because:
1) As much as we love sassy, she's too much trouble, and she and Bailey didn't get along well.
2) They just ADORE her, and they also spoil the dogs they already have. XD
3) It's a lot safer for her at their house. She always escapes our yard, and we were always afraid of coyotes eating her. Her new house is much more secure, and coyote-free. :3
So far I'm in the middle of the Spring semester, taking Math 71, Modern History of Asia, and Japanese III.
-History is okay, but we get a LOT of reading assignments. I'm scared of the midterm, I can't remember all this.
-Math is difficult for me, but our professor explains things really well, and gives us lots of pop quizzes to keep us sharp. So I think I'm doing fairly well. The last test we had, I got a B, but it was only because of all the stupid little mistakes I made (not reversing negative and positive signs when multiplying, and other small mistakes). yeah, little things add up.... I'll be more careful next time. >>;
-Japanese is pretty fun, but it is challenging. I don't do well on tests because I forget to study. *facepalm* I think I'll do just fine, as long as I get on the ball when it comes to my study habits. I just don't know what to do for my research project yet...
I don't think I mentioned this, but I also got a new scanner and installed it. It works OK. I miss the old one though. Too bad it died. D:
Also, I've been trying to work on some projects for fun. I've been wanting to make a few costumes (non-fur related), and I want to start sculpting with clay again. I just need a job so I can buy supplies. D:
I'm also still planning my Umbra fursuit. I also have another suit planned. Her (tentative) name is Rita. XD I'll post a pic of her later. So far, I still need to decide on markings for Umbra, and a color scheme for Rita.
I haven't gathered any supplies for fursuits yet, except for some fleece, which I already cut up to make stuffed animals. ^^; Maybe I'll post pics of those as well. Anyways, right now I'm just in the planning stage. At this rate I won't have a fursuit for another two years or so. X( I 'm not even exaggerating... I don't see myself getting this done within the year. *sigh* Oh well. I suppose I shouldn't rush things. But at the same time I should at LEAST get started!
I know this journal is kinda long, but hey! It's been a year!
