Update #something

Well, this week's going to be busy as heck. It has been since last week and no, it's not going to slow down by next month, no sir.

Firstly, we're moving. Again, but this time it's just down the street, so it's not such a biggie as the two previous international moves. However, along with the move is our CAP encampment and then later, my ACT testing (last year didn't allow me time to take it due to - guess what? - moves). I got nil studying done since the second half of last week and none this week because the house needed attention since Dad's been way too busy with the base-wide exercise which was also going on (those are so tiring). On Thursday and Friday, the movers will come in, but on Friday evening, we'll have to skip tae kwon do for our encampment, which will cover not only this weekend but also the next. On Saturday, it's a 14-hour period, so with the assumption that I'll have no time for a quick nap, I'm going to be so spent by Sunday (though, thank goodness we won't have anything on Sundays- a day of rest). This encampment thing isn't too easy because along with my busy schedule, I still have to come up with a presentation of CAP's Emergency Services mission and give a brief on its major aspects, how members can participate in various ES, how we can implement training for our cadets overseas, yadda yadda. I think I have to give a one-hour shpeel on that, eh. After my speech, I've got to organise an awards banquet for the end of the encampment, then I have to check up on our squadron commander's appreciate plaque since she's leaving for another duty station in 2.5 weeks. Gosh, ever since the recruitment drive at the beginning of the month, CAP's been taking up a great deal of time. I really do like it and all, but it's crazy how other things in life *just* happen to coincide right when things are getting hectic. Anyway, 11 June is the ACT testing day, and I need to brush up on maths. Good grief, I haven't done maths since I finished Alg 2 in...Feb? eep. Oh yes, and we have a trip to Guam to visit family that I'm also needing to consider. Grandpa's first anniversary after his death is coming up 16 June, and Dad's side of the fam is expecting us to be there.

So, in summary:
moving,
catching up with school,
ACT,
CAP,
trip to Guam,
and working on my three extra-curricular activities.

My social life is pretty much out of the door at this point. I barely have enough time to actually go online to even chat with a few good friends.

Sometimes, with all these things, I don't know what to do with myself. I get so worn out that when I need to let out my tension, I feel that people think I'm just complaining too much or that I'm not looking at the bright side. That doesn't really help me much considering that they haven't gone through this.

Oyi, I'm stressing. I suspect I'll see some lovely zits appearing pretty soon, but let's not get into that lest it really does happen. :P

I hate having more than one blog.

But...I can't exactly get rid of the other.

oyi. *roll*

Yo

People-things of Earth,

I updated m'blogness of Xangahood.

Sunday, May 08, 2005

So, here I am again. It's waytooearlyinthemorningtomention right now, and I just remembered why I'm up and not really ready to hit the sack even though I know I really am (go figure): coffee. I had a tall glass (plastic) cup of Starbucks mocha frap (yum) only a few hours ago.

Well, nothing much has really happened. Nothing interesting at all. Only to say that I'm seriously considering a major in Fine Arts, concentration in who-knows-what, but I know I want to get into computer graphics and photography. It's silly, but I feel rather dumb not knowing which 'path' to take in order to get to wherever my destination is (literally speaking, my destination is heaven -- it's these temporal pit stops on planet earth that I'm having a hard time trying to pencil in on this map o'life).

Anyway, key words: fine arts, graphics, photography, mulitmedia, and...some others I can't think of right now. But you get the basic idea. Oh, look, a sentence fragment.

Still considering TAC but, y'know, when I look at the tuition, I get this mental picture: me. standing there. in the shadows of this HUGE stack (or mountain) of cash. which I must pay. to Them. It's the money thing. It's killing me softly with the imaginary song of ruffling, green bills heading away from my bank account.

scholarships *teeny voice echoes*. Yes yes, I've heard that already.

*sigh* And I had the military in mind, mostly to pay for school, but I wouldn't want to have the military detract me from my academic goals in life. Especially when I want to have a strong, Catholic foundation in my studies as I enter tertiary years at who-knows-what art college.

What to do. What to do! Come on, Rems. Get with the program. *wonders what the plans are of current TACers for their post-TAC lives*

Bleh, the mind rambles on ever so. I take that as a hint to really get to bed before I wake up late for Mass tomorrow- I mean - in several hours. Yeesh.
