School has taken over my life? NO WAI

Yes. So unfortunately I’ve befallen the tragic fate that is the ‘my-life-is-so-busy-with-tests-and-interviews-everyday-that-I-don’t-have-time-for-the-website’-itis. Ok, so I do make some time here and there as I have a brand new version created for version 3 of the site. The previous PSD wasn’t really working for me so I scrapped it and started new. I think it went pretty well and I plan to code it sometime in the near future which will probably be in… Ok. Let’s just say near future.

Aside from school work and interviews I spent all of Saturday figuring out how to dual boot my laptop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Previously I had Windows Vista Home Premium on it, but since my school gave us the release candidate for Windows 7, and since I’ve been meaning to install Ubuntu I figured why not!

Now that I am the proud owner of a linux operating system I plan to try out this LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) environment that all these employers seem so eager to have. Also, Linux = Win.

I’ve also spent some time working on my stories. I’m hashing out the tiniest details about my characters now as I try to figure out which way to start the prologue. Today I discovered that one of my characters takes sleeping pills. It made so much sense I don’t know why I didn’t realize this sooner.

Anyone get the new Paramore album? For a good solid three weeks I listened to The Resistance from Muse on my long and horrible bus rides in the morning, but then when I got Brand New Eyes I found I couldn’t stop listening to it. My personal favourites include Misguided Ghosts, The Only Exception and Playing God.

One more thing. Why did the driver’s test examiners have to go on strike two weeks before my scheduled test on September 4th? And why are they still on strike now on October 13th? And why was the next available time for a test November 26th? BAH.

EDIT: New layout up! I’ll probably mess around with it a bit more, but in the meantime, enjoy!

    Haha, can’t wait to see the new layout (one day later… :P).

    Gerhjksghdfsdjk. Prologue. I’ve read the first bit of the first one. Fail. But we know that already. I’ve been busy…

    I was listening to The Resistance on my friend’s ipod but I don’t have the money or time to buy or download it. >< I'm sure I'll do it eventually. I'm more of a classic Muse lover but the Symphony tracks are pretty true to who they are, and thus my favorite. Uprising is overplayed. But the teddy bears are awesome. And the rest I didn't have as much time to listen to. I’ll have to try later on. I am obsessed with Ignorance from Paramore but again, no time to download the rest. >< I don't like a lot of their stuff. Select songs are okay.

    I just did my driver’s test TODAY! And I passed. Read my blog. It’s all about it. Quite funny. Bad day.. ><

    Anyway, I gotta shoot you off an email. I just went through a hellish week of relationship drama. It was weird. And I’m over it. And it’s better now.

    Cool, well, hope all is well! Take care!

    Hahahaha, you can always move to California. The driving test is easy here I heard. We have awful drivers. And then you would never have to deal with snow again.

    College applications suck. They want to know everything about you. Well, 6 universities. 5 of them, I’m going in as a biochemistry or chemistry major (and I’ll probably switch a million times) and the last one, which is my backup school and I’m not so fond of it, I’m going into the engineering college with a web design major. It’s the only one with that major and it’s in an area that is like the technology capital of California. Anyway, don’t want to do it. I’d be bored I think. Biochem is my thing right now. I LOVE my chemistry class. I’m getting like a 98% in it and my teacher adores me because she majored in biochem/genetics which is what I want to do.

    Anyway, that is all. I have to go…

    Oh my gosh! The Only Exception from the new Paramore album is actually one of my faves too. C: -highfives- 8D
