back to campus

Warning this blog is written from the point of a very stressed out older college student, and might not be read by viewers. This blog might be a little ranty at times.

Well, it's back to campus time again and already I think my academic career is in jeopardy. For one thing, I'm waitlisted for two classes, and no one has dropped from the classes. I'm waitlisted for "Basic Advertising Copywriting" and "Intro to Media Production" I'm at positions 1 & 6 respectively. I'm waiting to buy the books until after I am enrolled in the classes. I'm currently in Portfolio review and Philosophy of Science and I don't understand how the either/or system works. The classes start at 12:30 pm. (a little over an hour from now, as of this writing) I currently have 4 units, so I don't have fin aid. Which is a BIG problem and why I'm desperately waiting to get in to the classes.

I hope I pass Portfolio Review because if I do, I'll drop the media arts major. If not, then I'll switch from majoring in graphic design to media arts. I'm only 21 units away from graduating in either major.

Philosophy of science is the final part of my "pathway" (general ed), and from what I've read it's perfect for anyone who wants to be an attorney, because the papers have to be written as arguments.

well, anyway another thing that's stressing me out is this...

My laptop is broken, it has to be taped up on the hinges because the hinges that connect the two parts of the laptop are so weak that if it's propped up it'll work. If not the monitor will flip backwards. Two nights ago as I taped up my laptop the wireless adapter broke, and I still haven't had the chance to fix it. *sigh*

unfortunately, that means I can only use my kindle fire or my 3DS for internet connections. I tried to connect to the net on campus, and it's not working.

I've needed a new laptop since last semester, and now it's really obvious I need one. So far, no fin aid = no new computer.  I don't care if a new computer is Windows 8 or not, all I need is a new laptop that can use Adobe Creative suite products, play games like the Sims 3 and Wizard101, use microsoft office, among other things a huge hard drive is a plus.

so far, nothing is happening on any fronts.

OBJECTION! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies

First of all, let me state that this game looks very intriguing and I can't wait to add it to my 3DS. All I can hope for is that Capcom DOESN'T treat this game like it treated Rockman DASH 3 (Megaman Legends 3)  Yesterday I woke up and while browsing the Ask Ace Attorney blog on Tumblr and on a post someone asked the mod if they had seen this   the trailer for the English version of Ace Attorney 5.  I had to watch it a few times to realize that I'm not dreaming. This game is coming to the 3DS! Even though the reason I bought my 3ds originally was so that I could play Megaman Legends 3, but we all know how Capcom treated that particular 3DS title.  One of the main differences is that it's in 3D instead of the traditional 2d anime-ish sprites.  Although isn't                                voiced b...

When it comes to the Power Rangers,

The Zordon fanpage on Facebook is holding a contest and it's to answer the question What emotionally attached you to the Power Rangers show and Why do you love it so much? That got me to blushingly chuckle and to do a little soul searching and well, my first reply is "do you really want to know?"   The short answer is I had a horrible childhood and PR was an escape.  But the long answer... well... here's my story.  The history of Jessica Zordon Spock. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came out in 1993. I was going on 10 years old (I'm 30 years old now) and in Mrs Welch's  4th grade class at West Elementary, the kids had been talking about this cool new tv show called Power Rangers. I had never heard of it and that day at 5pm I tuned into Fox to watch Batman the animated series, come to find out that Batman had been moved to 4:30 and the Power Rangers was shown at 5. The episode was Island of Illusion. The Rangers were trapped on this island and would disappear ...
