I forgot I had a blog

I swear I forgot I had a blog, which should explain the lack of updates.

I could start going into stupid reasons why I don't actually update this thing much, but it basically boils down to my forgetting about it and not feeling anything monumental enough in my life has occurred that's worth writing about. I'll attempt to pinch one out, however, because ya'll are so important to me.

Just got back from 4 night stay in Foxboro complete with gorging, sleeping, and the friends/family combo-blitz. Things went rather standard with little out of the ordinary to report on. Got to see some people that I haven't in a while, though, which was nice. It was a good little break from schoolwork before I finish up in these next couple weeks. I think for a little while I was pretending it was like it was in high school, driving around Foxboro and surrounding towns with friends looking for nightly diversions like bowling or whatever. It was a cool change of pace, and nice to spend time with good people. There really wasn't any schoolwork I could have done since I basically just need to edit the shit out of my movie to make it look somewhat decent. At the moment I'm running into the issue of it possibly dragging (it might clock in at over 20 minutes), so I have a lot of tweaking so I can keep things interesting.

I finished a video project for my other class but now that it's done I'm pretty disappointed with how it came out, which is a bummer. It's not yet up on youtube or whatever, and I'm hesitant to throw it on there as I'm not exceptionally proud of it. It ended up being over-edited to facilitate the assignment's requirement that we had to have a shitload of special effects in it. As a result it sort of warped into something I didn't want it to be. I'm pretty sure given enough time I could go back and mutate it into a finished product that I like, but there's really not time for that at this point. Always gotta move forward.

I think I wiped my ass with the Spanish test I took last week with only a minimal amount of studying beforehand. It's nice that the stuff we read is so famous that the individual stories are written about in detail on Wikipedia (with links to English translations of the entire books), thus cutting translation and analysis time down hugely. It was just mentioned that we'll have to complete a 12 pager in a little under 2 weeks, and while I have no clue whatsoever when I'll find the time to do this, I'm not stressing it too much, as I managed worse while in Spain and things seemed to turn out alright. I just need to get someone fluent to proofread for me...

Anyone?

I'm done with school and must be out of my place on the 15th. While this hasn't exactly snuck up on me, it's gradually been catching me off guard (if that makes any sense). I've been too busy to job and apartment hunt with any sort of conviction. I need to squeeze all that in with the finishing up of this semester's work. I have mixed feelings about finishing here, but it's definitely for the best to be moving on at this point. I've been getting a weird reflective-college-life-flashing-before-my-eyes recently which is kinda movie-cheeseballish but I can't really avoid it. I guess I feel like the last 4 or so years have had as significant of an effect on my life as the previous 10 years had. So much has happened and so much has changed in various short periods of time that it's been weird to realize how much differently I look at life in general as a result. We've yet to see if this change is for the best... Only time will tell.

Hmmmm.
