It's good to do things that are uncomfortable sometimes. It usually also feels good to be done with things.
I've got a week off school and so far I've blown all my time playing a silly indie game I got off Steam (Rogue Legacy specifically). I'm a sucker for a good 2D platformer, especially when using a controller. Throw in some vague RPG Skinner Box mechanics and it's like being rewarded for enjoying my reward. It's super addicting.

Dammit I forgot about those games. That's 2 more games to add the old wishlist so I actually remember to try them sometime.

*waves a little TEA banner*
I had my interview for NYU. I think it went pretty well? I keep waffling between I AM AWESOME! and I AM NOTHING! So, erm. They're interviewing 21 people and they'll let in 6 or so. Cross your fingers for me? <3
I don't find out until April 15. D: D: D:

Hey, did I mention that I got accepted into my city's art college? My portfolio was less awful than I thought, I guess.

I...I miss my coding classes already. I'm already drowning in tedious writing assignments. Also I didn't post any April Fools stuff, but all I remember that was sort of interesting to a general audience was Google's hiring challenge for a " Pokémon Master" or some such thing.

Congrats Zam! Also, I um have a picture for you all. It is my engagement ring! We found it at an antique store and it is late Victorian. I am pretty much entirely in omg-wedding mode at the moment.

That's so lovely, Kew ! I hope it's a good omg-wedding thing you're having and not the serious stress kind of thing. The pokemon thing was quite fun!

Congratulations and good luck, Kew.
I know I got sucked into wedding parties a few times, but I was never caught up at all in having to plan or manage them. I don't really know what goes into that.

That's a very pretty ring, congratulations again Kew.
My uni assignments are all starting to pile up, I have quite a few deadlines between now and May and I am looking forward to the end of May when the last deadline has passed and I have sweet sweet freedom.*
I'm kind of sort of enjoying university now that the presentations are over and done with.
*Except for my dissertation which is due 1st September.

The snow was almost gone, but now it has returned. In something resembling force. I want the nice spring weather back.

Summer Is Coming doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

Hey, did I mention that I got accepted into my city's art college? My portfolio was less awful than I thought, I guess. Which one? Royal? (I looked into that one for theatre and film design) or a different one... Oh goodness I can't even remember the name of the other one I went to when I was looking! Ended up the design courses were in University and the college stuff was 'this is how you swing a hammer to build a set' It was odd to me.

So I didn't get into NYU's conservation school but that's okay. It was cool to get an interview. I *did* get into the local university's art history masters program, and a TA position in the department.
Also I got my hair dyed red yesterday.
Happy zombie Jesus day! The apartment complex smells of ham.
That is all.
