Mordacious

Well, the day of May 17th has become something of an official holiday to me. It’s the day I’m relieved of BioPhysic’s cold, suffocating grasp. It’s the day I can reclaim some of my freedom from what I would term as ‘industrial learning’. I absolutely cannot wait for summer to come. I plan on getting so much done, so much that I guess I should make a list I can reference if I by chance get bored during my break:

• Practice Guitar.
• Practice Japanese.
• Draw, write and work on Skhizein”s and my story.
• Learn programming (still  not sure which one… probably C++).
• Get one hour of vigorous exercise every morning and night.
• Play RPI MUD’s again. Been developing a character for the MUD ‘Shadows of Isildur‘; I hope they don’t disappoint.
• Role-play more with Skhizein.
• Start a short comic for practice.
• Make a character I don’t mind throwing to slaughter so I can write the previously mentioned short comic about them.
• Eat and acquire a taste for vegetables so I can be a healthy Vegan and not a junk food vegetarian.
• Go to the doctor… Ugh… haven’t had to suffer through that for years.

I’ll be adding to the list as I remember my other goals. It’s a lot to aspire for, but they are things I realized I desperately want but didn’t have time to learn/focus on this past semester.

Well, other than waiting for May 17th to come, I’ve been up to nothing unusual. My Mum is going into surgery soon to remove her tumor. It has luckily gotten small enough to surgically remove and hopefully she won’t need too much radiation afterwords. It’s taken quite a toll on her. Anyways, hopefully it is going to be over soon.

I’ve been studying for some tests coming up, working on papers… all schoolwork really. I did finally get a good pair of rollerblades so I can go fast enough for my dog. Whatever is wrong with my knees makes running with Suzu a challenging prospect, because of the impact or something. So far, rollerblading has not hurt them substantially, much like biking. Honestly, I hope they improve with exercise because they are constantly aching some days. It’d be nice if they did… very nice.

Hmm, I’d have to say that I have finally stopped chewing on my nails as well. They look and feel much better now but I’ve caught myself transferring my nervousness/restlessness/etc. elsewhere, especially biting my lip. Besides sheer will, there isn’t much I can do to stop myself from doing that, so I hope it doesn’t become a habit. Maybe with the coming of summer, I’ll get more comfortable and cease this kind of habitual behavior. Which reminds me, my paranoia of ticks has hit me at full force already and I haven’t even gotten one yet

I’ll post some of Skhizein’s writing later, because his poems inspire me. After reading some of his stuff over again, I find it amusing that he writes so darkly and yet his happy mood at home provides me with a beam of support in my life. I’d surely be nothing if he were not here with me on this wretched planet. I can’t wait until he actually writes something he really wants to because he’s so good at it, I don’t doubt that it would end up being something wonderful.

Well, I have to go to my BioPhysics class, so I’ll end it at that.
