College! And...er...more sites.

Today was my first day of junior college. Nothing much to report: just the general handing-out of syllabi and professors talking about themselves and the course. The classes seem nice enough, though.
I also got some new blogs: Vox, MindSay, and Blogster. Now, hear me out: each new blog gives me new features and opportunities to ignore. But this one sounds really fun: MindSay has a wiki. And I automatically have my own page. It requires an account to edit, so i guess it isn't a true wiki, but still. I can't wait to see what sort of stuff people say about me on it.
Oh, and I'm going to be on my own at last. Mum's moving in with her boyfriend at the end of September, and letting me stay here. I'll have to pay the bills and whatnot, but Ill be alone without having to scour the horrors of the housing market. Student loan time! (I also have to get a laptop, since my current computers are going to shit).

Procrastinate now.

I think I may have a semi-finalised schedule, now that my late PSEO paperwork is done:

First hour: Physics
Second hour: AP Statistics (Pelkey)
Third hour: AP Spanish (Qualley)
(A lunch)
1:00-1:50PM Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: World History Pre-1500 (PSEO)
Sixth hour: AP English Language (Devine)

Speaking of which, today was my first day of CLC studentship. It wasn't that different from a normal high school course: introductions, "why are we doing this?" &c; but I have a feeling it will get to be more APish as time progresses. They already have us writing a paragraph on one person--from before 1500--with whom we would like to dine--and what we would ask them. So, I need to find an interesting, sociable historical figure who wasn't known for poisoning. Any suggestion?

In other news, I saw my dad a couple of days ago. Suffice to say we haven't seen him for over a year--maybe two, we were with Mark at the time--by our own choice. So, it was a happy, albeit awkward event. He was looking as hippie-ish as ever, sporting a pair of braids--he said that everyone tells him he looks like Willie Nelson--a long, three pointed beard, and a headband. He said that he now can't work--due to his rheumatoid arthritis--and he's making too little to live in the US--but maybe in Mexico... Of course, I don't think that he could live off of the US government's disability pay in a foreign country.

Wednesday, July 18, 2007: Overhaul

Well, I'm sick of my sites' themes. Time to revamp it all. It's too dark and obsessed with Atheism. And my profile just plain sounds immature. So, I'll be redoing it all, one site at a time. And the reason I haven't been blogging is that I haven't been getting more than, say, and hour of computer time a week (we moved out of mum's boyfriend's house, but the power's still out. His kids are scum).

And in case you enjoyed my old stuff, here it is:

Profile: "Excluding what is written elsewhere, I am rather critical and analytical. My dislikes are Christianity (though not Christians in general), intolerance, war, pop music, cover tracks, Jack T. Chick, Disney, deathbed conversion stories, fundamentalism, evangelists, bad remakes/movies from novels, unoriginality, anti-first amendment folks, anti-second amendment folks, pretty much anti-rights folks, Texas, idiots, profiles that mention "God/Jesus" under interests, american bastards, religious groups who masquerade as secular ones, people who don't know what "atheist" means but think they do, when people try to bless me after I sneeze, sexism, when people think that Catholics aren't Christian for some reason, hypocrisy, and more to come..."

Tagline: "Warning: this site contains some content deemed inappropriate for Christians"

Why not?

After a bumpy start, our new homestay is now just fine. You see, for the first few days we were tormented by mum's boyfriend's son, who would have the TV or conversations at full--or possibly higher--volume blaring until at least midnight, allowing us in the next room only a few hours of sleep. That, compounded with some other things, made our stay a living Hell. But now, after we had a discussion, it is quite alright.
I now take my dog, Ivan, for daily walk lasting multiple hours. We have given away five of our original nine liveborn pups, leaving one, Coco, to give away--I often walk her as well. We will keep three: my Ivan, my brother's Pepper, and mum's Bear. All of these pups are living in a kennel in this house, along with their dog, Max.
In sad news, Blog City is ending its free service. At the end of the year, my account will be locked. That was one of my favourite blogs! Oh, well.

Thursday, May 31, 2007: Perfect.

Well, mum hasn't payed the electric bill. for the moment, we're staying at her boyfriend's house. She spends when she is depressed--and she's never been good at finances. So the pups are at home, and we're going to put them in a kennel here, once we get it cleaned out.

But, on the bright side, school is out. I've gotten a Spanish four book to study. Come autumn, I'll be ready for AP.
