Made It!

I am physically awake and sitting in the classroom of my exam. It's officially 8am and our teacher has just walked in. One of my group members is here, but not both of them and that worries me a little.

All-Nighter

I'm planning on taking some power naps, but I'm staying up until and through my 8am exam tomorrow. It's not actually any exam, it's a presentation (that I'm not all that worried about) so I think I'll be able to do it. My biggest worry about tomorrow is that if I go to bed I'll sleep through the exam, or wake up late and get there late. But I'm also tired, so I'll see if I can take naps and get enough sleep to survive tomorrow. I have the exam and work at 5pm that I have to go to, but there's an end of the year library party around 12:30 that I'd love to go to.


This all-night is brought to you (most likely literally because I may just post all night long) by Shaw's brand Orange Soda, Bones and the essay I'll be writing tonight (may as well be productive while I don't sleep).

Flock and Facebook

So, I'm checking my Facebook in Flock (the browser) and I just found this picture.



My sister posted it. Erin's the one holding Laura. I''m the one leaning over. And the girls are our cousins Sarah and Laura. I love this picture!

Finished, Colors Here I Come

My flash project is finished. I'm just loading it onto a flash drive so that I can turn it in. So now I have time to eat my lunch and work on colors for this blog. And also to post pictures. I didn't take a new picture of Got Nothin' before I started messing with things, so I've just stolen the finish picture from my first redesign.



So that's how it looked before. Two columns, a lovely picture of Jensen Ackles for everyone to stare at. I do love that picture, but after more than a year I needed a change. I may put a background picture into this layout, but I'm not sure. For now I'm just going to mess around with colors because I like how simple this template is. Simple and clean, it's a good thing.


Once I've decided on colors for good (most likely tomorrow or the day after) I'll post another "after the redesign" picture.

Ha HA! Success!!

So, my blog is now three columns wide and all about 900 pixels wide. Here's the site I used to change the amount of columns here: http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/2007/02/three-columns-blogger-template.html. For the time being it's also boring to the max. I'd like to spend the next hour playing around with colors, but I need to finish my flash project because I have an exam at 3:30 and then my flash exam is just after that on at 6pm.


So, in the near future I will change the colors and fonts and such on this, but for now it's enough that my posts are as long as my extensive navigation. I was getting annoyed that the page was so long and it was all because of the nav bar and never because of the content.

In Flux

If you are viewing this blog as white with the Prop 8 video over lapping the sidebar, then I am sorry. I'm working on changing my blog to a three-column design and I need to copy down all my widgets so that I don't lose them forever. They are the reason why I need three columns. This will all be resolved eventually. Don't worry.


Love, Me

No Motivation

So, it's exam week. I have no motivation. At all. Just today though. I'd been doing well up to today. Tomorrow I need to finish my flash project (just add in the content) and make some progress on my commission for Aesthetic Expressions. It's not due tomorrow, but I had wanted to have it finished by tomorrow and I need to at least have some progress to speak about in the exam period. But for tonight I am done with thinking. I'm going to not get anything accomplished for the rest of the time I'm at work and when I get back to my dorm I'm going to eat some of my chili (with cheese!) and watch the newest episode of How I Met Your Mother.


Also, the internet is so ridiculously slow tonight that I want to nap while I wait for pages to load (or play Solitaire, I think I may do that).
