So, I had my first day working yesterday- I'm a writing tutor at my community college, and I tutored my first student! I think it went really well. And that's all you'll get out of me because I have to keep confidentiality, so yeah.
I'm taking Intro to Theater, Nutrition, Ancient and Medieval World History, and Environmental Ethics and Career Development online. Spent an hour and a half outlining yesterday for History and only got through 5 of the 20 pages in chapter 1. yikes. Haven't even looked at Ethics or Career Development yet, but I did finish Nutrition.
I went riding for the first time in a very long time on Sunday. Horseback riding. It was fun, though the horse I usually ride, Angel, is limping, so that's sad. My neighbor has horses and she lets me ride them sometimes. Anyway, the saddle I usually used when I rode more was broken, so I had to use a different saddle. Well, the reason why I used the one particular saddle was because it was the only one with the stirrups shortened enough for me. Well, the saddle I used Sunday had one of the stirrups (the right one) short enough, but the left one hadn't been shortened enough. I could still reach it, but it was harder and I could only get my toes in. So whenever we galloped, I lost my left stirrup and ended up holding on for dear life, bouncing all over the saddle. I've also been having issues with gripping things-I played one song on the guitar and my hand just about killed me it hurt so bad. I also had an issue writing half a page of Calista's character profile. Yeah. I don't know why. So, I'm gripping the pommel or horn of the saddle and my hand is protesting in pain. I knew I was going to get saddle sore, but because of all the bouncing, I bruised my legs and may or may not have done something to my lower back.
That pain may have more to do with my 23 pound backpack. (Yes, I weighed it) So now just about every part of me hurts. I feel like an old lady.
In good news, I finished Twice Upon a Time! You can like my facebook page, www.facebook.com/3kingdoms2girls1fate My mom was visiting her mom last weekend and my grandma had just finished When the Stars Fall. So my mom told her about me finishing my screenplay, and she was really impressed. She says to me, "You know, my friend knows Dan Disney. When you get it edited, I could see if he'll take a look at it"
ME: OoO or something like that. Trying to keep myself from screaming in excitment. Hello, DREAM. COME. TRUE.
Everything's extremely iffy so I'm not getting my hopes up too far, but still- MY GRANDMA'S FRIEND KNOWS DAN DISNEY!!! What?????
Yeah.
I got a laptop. I found a mac (I need one for the music program at Concordia if I go there) for less than $500, so yeah. It was about $370, but my dad wanted to get a warranty, so we got a 2 year warranty for $105. It's coming Tuesday and I'm so excited.
Oh, am Disneybounding as Flounder today. Having too much fun with this. Tried to get Elli to be Ariel, but she was too lazy to figured it out. Thinking I'll be Terence tomorrow and Marie (from Aristocats) Friday. I have a flourecent yellow and aquamarine striped tank top on right now with a blue shirt thing over it. Two of the three items I own from Aeropostale. My mom decided I needed to get them. Didn't realize at the time how perfectly they'd work for a Flounder Disneybound.
OK, gotta go. Class in an hour and I need to read through some history.
My random project of the weekend: a mock-up cover of Beauty is Blind:
I love the black background- it really shows her living in darkness. And the purple text is perfect-am not a fan of the font, but Createspace doesn't offer much for fonts. And the painting is one by Diego Velázquez so it's now public domain since he's been dead for a long time. I'm still going to credit him. It's called "Portrait of a Blind Woman" and it looks EXACTLY like I imagine Calista. The only thing I don't like is the fact that her eyes are closed so you can't see that they're purple, but still. It's perfect.
