College

I can’t wait for college. This is dragging out to long. Snow. Rain. New people. One old friend. New places. New friends. New experiences. New feelings. New. What more could one want?

Missouri is a beautiful place. I will probably be staying with andrew a few times during the summer next year so I can hang with friends A LOT at the mall and stuff because it isn’t a very long walk. Then off to college around august. I’ll be back for thanksgiving, christmas, and three months in summer.

 

Will it really happen??

Hey, it’s me.

I’ve been really REALLY stressed lately, stressed about everything that’s going on at the moment. And i know people are noticing it’s effect on me…

1st things 1st, it’s results day tomorrow and if i don’t get the grades i need then i can’t do the University course I want to do at the University i want to go to >_< and it’s something that i really really want. And to be honest, I don’t think my grades will even reach the level of my insurance choice. I seem to have little faith in how i did at the moment and it’s getting me low. It feels like that if i fail, it’s pretty much the end of my life. Well, my dreams anyway.

Secondly, Japan. The woman whose MEANT to be organising it when away for 10 days to work, which was okay. but then she took a WEEK off straight afterwards! She says ‘email me if you have any questions, i will reply as soon as I can. ” LIES… i emailed her like 2 weeks ago, and when i got a reply she didnt exactly answer my questions. I just feel like this trip isn’t going to happen. Oh and the school don’t approve of where we wanted to stay. which i understand why though.. but still. everything is messing up! I just want to give up.. do i really want to do this anymore?

Photograpy~College

I was originally thinking about UNT but for other reasons. Photography is what I really want to pursue, it’s one thing I have been positive of lately x]

I want to get out and go!  I stroooooongly dislike Texas. Yesterday I got all their info stuff in the mail so I’ve been reading over that. UNT is an all around amazing college, I think.  I went to Robo Camp there two or three times and Loved it.  My Problem right now is ALGEBRA gah… =/ not going to happen.  I can’t even go to NCTC with out passing the COMPASS test so I can be a transfer student to UNT. I can’t pass the math section T_T  I’m studying….

I see so much life and beaty in photography, more so than I see in ‘Real’ life.  I love how photography speaks to me, the deep meanings, fun times, hard ships, and everthing else. It’s like “Wow… this would be beautiful perserved forever in a picture.”

*~Chi~*

 

These times they are a’changin’…

Yes that is a Bob Dylan song, but it suits the stage at which I’m at now.

College is coming to an end over the next week or so. The 2 years went really quickly O_O I’ll miss it really, I didn’t do the worst subjects, i had a lot of fun taking them. My classes were awesome, there was a lot of laughs.

At University i’m taking a completely different course to what I’ve been doing these past two years, but i will try to use the skills i’ve learnt in the future. Probably combining it with my degree after university. In Uni i’m doing a Japanese Studies Degree. Which pretty much lets me learn the language, some of it for the second time. My first choice is Sheffield, (such a beautiful city), and my second is Manchester. I’m aiming for Sheffield though. I will get to spend my 3rd year studying in Japan Which funny enough, i will also be doing this year.

I’m taking a gap year this year and starting Uni in 2010. During my year off i will be living in Japan and attending a high school (Details have to be finalised i.e, date, price etc) But it is definate xD I’m really looking forward to it as I can see a lot of my friends there. Especially those who attend the same school, as i haven’t seen them since March and it’s sad I miss them. (Also miss you too dru ^^ ) Living in Japan is going to be such an experience, i’ll have lots to get used to. Like what to do and not to do etc The laws. the customs and the culture. It’s soo exciting haha I’ve wanted to go there for soo many years and now I can’t believe that its a reality haha xD

I will be blogging a LOT while i’m over there. I’ll be attaching pictures so you can all see what it’s like xD I will probably be making videos as well because my college wants a record and feedback etc to interest other students. Also it’ll give me a chance to use my film making skills from my other courses xD

I’ll keep you in on the details etc ^^

Krista’s College Recipes #1- Roll-up (But Not Fruit By The Foot)

You will need:

1 tortilla
cheese
lunch meat

Take one tortilla and put it flat on a paper plate.  Take your lunch meat (I think anything will work but I generally use turkey or ham) and spread it over the tortilla.  Put some cheese over that.  Microwave until the cheese melts.  Roll it up and voila!  Yum yum.  You can also put salsa in it or dip it in salsa if you like.  Guacamole might work, but I wouldn’t know because I hate guacamole.  You can make two layers of meat and cheese if you like.  That fills you up more efficiently and it’s still yummy.

OR if your name is DRU, and you’re vegetarian, you can use a whole lot of cheese or several different kinds, and put another totilla over it, and then roll it up.  Yum yum.  Salsa!

So, yes.  Yum yum recipe.  And I call it a college recipe because it really isn’t expensive at all.  And so I’ll probably be eating lots of these next year.  Along with nachos and ramen.  YUM!

:Batman:

 

FerSure with Postits :D

This is one of the little things that i’ve been doing at college recently, it took about 2 days to fully edit etc, by moi and Tamsyn ^^
WARNING though, there is some strong language in it.

Lack of lu

Haha, as you can seeee i haven’t exactly blogged much lately..
’tis cause there is sooo many things going on at ze moment, however, i shall not tell you about them all because some aren’t are fullly worked out yet
But anyways, Media is super special awesome at the moment. We’re doing animation and i’m making a mini anime, which i will probably put on here when it’s finished sometime in the future.
This week we’ve been doing lipsyncing and flipbooks. For the lipsyncing, we took photos of us saying sounds and drew round them on flash, by recording some audio we could sync it up. Mine looks soooo creepy >.< haha

Also we’re making flipbooks which is always fun.. but no stickmen allowed hehe We have to be more creative, so i did a little chibi style girl I need to change the angle etc, but so far it’s just the girl saying hi, welcome. hehe

anyways, that’s all i can say about the epicness for now…. watch this space

One is okay, but i’m hoping for more

I got an offer from a University yesterday, which i’m pretty chuffed about
It’s for Manchester University, which is pretty cool, because it’s a highrated uni.
I got a conditional offer, which means i have to achieve atleast BBB in my Alevels, which HOPEFULLY i’ll get.
When i go back to college in January I have to sort out my Japanese GCSE for June, my teacher predicted me an A / B
I applied for 4 uni’s, so i’m a little nervous that Manchester will be the only one to offer me a place :S
I guess it’s all about waiting and being positive …..

Why do you care so much?!!!

***WARNING! DOES CONTAIN STRONG LANGUAGE***

Okay one thing that’s really been pissing me off lately are those people that think that you can handle anything they throw at you. And that critisize EVERYTHING about you, your interests, your personality, your appearance etc (This blog will have hidden references to something someone said to me at the beginning of the summer)

For example, there is this one guy i know in one of my classes. He goes at length to make at least one jab at me every lesson and it really makes me angry. Okay, we all know that I’m a film student right and that i’m interested in Japan. So at college we have to pick a Director to write an essay about. So i chose Takashi Miike, a famous Japanese Director. I have a few books with him in that i could use for research so i thought it was a good choice, and well he is sort of my favourite Director. And this guy turns to me and goes ‘Oh you’ll never find ANY books on HIM, he’s JAPANESE’ i was like You racist cock! (Oh yeah, just to point out this guy is: Facist, Racist, Sexist and every other -ist you can think of.) So after all the little jabs he’d given me over the past year about the fact that i’m into Japan, i flipped right then and there, we were in the library at the time :S I really got angry, and i mean it REALLY ANGRY. I was almost shouting. After i stormed off in a huff he came over and apologized, which was nice of him. But the jabs haven’t stopped at all. There were atleast 2 today i think, no wait 3. One was when i said that i liked Cinema Paradiso, but i didn’t really get into it until later on, and he goes ‘Well, it’s a much better film than the films you watch, like Audition, that’s crap.’ HELLO!!! YOU HAVEN’T EVEN FUCKING SEEN IT YOU ARSE! I went off on one saying ‘Well you know, i liked that film, everyone has different tastes! There was NO NEED for you to say that!’ and he just laughed. >.< I FUCKING HATE HIM

He’s not the only one that says things like that, and it really gets to me. Some of my family do it aswell and i hate it.

SO WHAT if i like Japan, LOADS of people do
SO WHAT if i listen to Japanese music, LOADS of the stuff i listen to is ENGLISH aswell
SO WHAT if i’m learning Japanese, It’s GOOD to know another language
SO WHAT if i watch Japanese films, makes a change from the CLICHE and POPULAR UK and US films
SO WHAT if i have Japanese friends, they’re more POLITE and NICE than some people i know
NOT EVERYTHING I LIKE IS RELATED TO JAPAN. SO WILL YOU LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE ABOUT IT!!!!!

*cough* Just wanted to get that off my chest. hehe
