Painting Sunday
So the wall has began being painted! I'm not spoiling how AWESOME! it is here, but I will tell you that as it stands, it's exactly as awesome as I predicted. :P
In other news, I got held up by 2 trains today, while bussing.
Unrelatedly, I still like trains.
Finally, I'm thinking about makin' some Riccy-plays-minecraft-while-making-unrelated-commentary videos for my regular bad* youtube channel, to give it some actual content.
*Where 'bad' is in the context that I admit my youtube channel is lacking in quality content; not the context of a statement of self hatred because I made said channel. And Samara, IMO, I'm not being paranoid by clarifying this. ;P

A further examination of my first vlog movie
SO I REALIZE NOW THAT I FORGOT TO ASK QUESTIONS, OR ANSWER ANY, AND I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT MAKING IT AND I DUNNO WHY BUT YEAH.
So yeah I realize its probably gonna get me in a pile of trouble for having a swear (BUT I CENSORED IT) and for not being long enough and that I should've prepared more but yeah.
As for the DV cable thing, I recorded my room on an old school video camera. Long story short I learnt the hard way that usbs dont work the way I thought they did, and I now need a dv cable (which Pj has offered to provide me once he comes back :P Cuz hes awesome like that)
Also yeah my computer seriously crapped out 3 times recording it, which attributes to how it is. I did have to do a bunch of re-recording and stuff and yeaahhh.
I hate my webcam.
And Windows Live movie maker.
And windows movie maker XP edition works but it killed the quality.
So I just got like errything working against me here.

Subway? NoWay
So I was at the university today and whatever, and I forgot my lunch, so I decided to buy some subway.
So the subway lady was very snippy and whatever but I didnt really care because I was hungry. So I got a little 6 inch sub and all seemed okay.
Then later today my stomach gives me problems and yeah long story short: Something on that sandwich wasn't "Fresh".
So I just wasted 4 dollars on a bad sandwich with crap service.
In other news, that 18th birthday I had in New City has become an even more controversial matter.
Finally, I dropped math 1500. My stress levels are down, and my schedule actually has the shape of a smiley face! :) It's pretty cool~

Math 1500
So I finally finished the diagnostic test for that math class. It took a solid 3 hours, it was 50 questions long and it. was. a. challenge.
There was many things which I did not understand, which I recorded what concepts those were (loosely because some i couldn't even tell WHAT I didn't understand). There's about 6-7 things I'll have to work on to make my base for math stronger.
I also guessed for many questions and actually managed to get a few right. That was only luck though, cant rely on that. (But it proves that you should always answer the question, even if its a total shot in the dark)
As for the test, I scored 22 out of 50, or 44%. When I was in Math Pure 30, My mark was consistently 46%. Therefore I'm exactly where I was in grade 12, and it's exactly where I thought I'd be.
I'm going to talk to a councillor, and see my options. I will likely be stuck in the class, but will go into a side program called math 0500, which will try to bring me 'up to speed'. I've also talked to my mother about this, and we made a deal: I'll try my hardest and best, and if I'm still not getting anywhere, I can drop the course, to save my GPA from being...well...trash. It would be a backup, and of course, if I'm not trying my hardest and I just fail, that option also disappears.
NO PRESSURE OR ANYTHING
BRB MENTAL BREAKDOWN

Universe City [Semesturr 1]
OK so
here's how things are looking so far:
Arts 1110: Solid course which should help me turn my absolute failure of essays into mediocre literature. TA seems nice and heard good about the prof.
Math 1500: So I found math pure in university....
...and I'm going to be doing a quiz and some thorough testing to see where my math skills stand, as I see it they are nowhere near ready for calculus. The results will speak more than my opinion though.
However this course may be detrimental to one of the paths I want to take to get a certain degree. I may have to bite the grindstone for it.
Will update results on this matter next post. Probably.
Environmental Design 1600: It has a bit of an advanced drawing feel to it, but I'm putting my faith that it won't turn into that and that I won't totally hate the course. It seems more loose than Advanced drawing, plus less...drawing.... And the prof seems awesome too :P We'll have to see what happens.
Economics 1010: N/A, will Cover in a later post
Environmental Design 1660: N/A, will Cover in a later post.
