SO, I've been working on homework all day. Trying to be productive for once instead of procrastinating like mad. I knocked out my final prject for Music class. 7 page paper on traditional Maori music. Phew.

I have to knock out my book report once I, like, actually read the book. And I would like to knock out my last Health paper. Maybe my Vietnam paper. My Anthro one I can't do til we get our draft's back. So, yeah. Plus I have to help Zach 'fix' his.

Tomorrow, though, tomorrow (as in today) is 'Write for fun and catch up on NaNo day' and it's, of course, also...

39808 / 50000 words. 80% done!

Zombie Survival Guide = Done.
Maryland (Frostburg) Snapshots= Done.

Notes From A Small Island = 6/317

xD So, I was figuring out how much extra credit I have accumulated in Music class. A grand total of 62 points courtesy of concert attendance and ridiculous quizzes. We got back he quiz from friday today. It's a 10 point quiz... worth 24 points. Thus 14 points were... extra credit. I am amused. And, all of my final exams are open-notes, which is just, plainly, epic.

Zach, however, his professor is... insane. Bad insane. He had a paper due.... at like the beginning of October. He did it, I supervised, I swear. I was not involved in it other than helping him hunt down sources. He's a good writer all on his own, even though he's never had to do a paper before. Well, today, fucking finally, they got their papers back. He got a C+ because he didn't cite like... every other sentence. It's purely ridiculous. His paper was on how the gaming industry has changed over time. He was talking about computers and used PC and she wrote that he should have spelled it out. I... I don't even know what PC actually stands for! I just know a computer that is not a Mac is called a PC. That's... all you need to know. SO, now, on top of the 4 papers I get to write over break (and the book that I... should probably like, start reading for the book review that's due the day we get back) I get to help him 'revise' a paper that shouldn't need revising. </endrant>

On one last note, I was playing with... fanart again. Just one this time: HERE

38432 / 50000 words. 77% done!

Okay, so, Zach's math class (at the same time as my AMV class) is done. It was some self-paced thing and he finsihed early. Awesome!Prof, being awesome was totally cool with Zach sitting in on AMV.

He's been there for a week now, and today, he decided to take notes. Not serious notes, of course, but incredibly hilarious ones. We were talking about Kent State and all that so they're only humorous up until people started dying, at which point, they stop.

I am still attempting to translate/relate it to what we were talking about and I will fill you in later after I'm done a project for Anthro.

It comes complete with doodles!

I have more JaSpin pretties. 6... or rather 1 with 5 other variations.

( HERETH THAR BE MORE FANARTZ! )

Got up on the roof yesterday to clean gutters and put up Christmas lights. Muscles are now protesting those fun-filled 4 hours. Owwwww.

On another note, I got bored last night and played in fanart stuff.

So, I present 6 little JaSpin banner things.

Title: The Universe Conspires...
Chapters: 1/1

Genre: Drama. Romance. Humor.
Ratings: T
Word Count: ~2100
Pairings/Characters: Jason/Spinelli
Synopsis: Damian Spinelli is slowly beginning to believe that some sadistic, driving force in the universe is conspiring against him.
Comments: Yet another JaSpin fic that has been gathering dust knocked out for NaNo. Uhm, this went in a totally different direction than I was intending it to go. I might come back to this at some point and try it from Jason's perspective. Maybe. Who knows? Character's aren't mine. Enjoy!

Title: Love For A Child
Chapters: Part 2: Chapter 1/2
Author: csi_sanders1129
Genre: AU. Romance. Drama.
Ratings: K+
Word Count: ~900
Pairings/Characters: Jason/Spinelli.
Synopsis: Spinelli gets a call concerning his past and it leads to a significant alternation of his and Jason’s future.
Comments: Okay, I have been working on this fic since December and it is NOW OFFICIALLY DONE. And, I mean, really, my chapters had to be divided into chapters. This is that epic fic of epicness I’ve been mentioning sporadically over the months. It’s set in 2011/2012, but it takes certain liberties (Maxie and Spinelli were never really together, Jason turned Sonny in during the FBI stuff in early 2009, various other little stuff, too. Any questions, just ask, kay?) This chapter is a little short, but that’s just cause of my dividing method. Next one is long, I promise. All in all, characters you recognize are not mine, but the new characters are mine. Enjoy!

Part 1: Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3

Part 2:

( Chapter 1 )

“But, Rhodes… Rhodes was that law and order candidate and I mentioned that he was in this primary election fight against the Taft family, kay? That would be like trying to run against a Kennedy in Massachusetts or Rhode Island or Maryland… or wherever there isn’t a Kennedy. Uhm, Utah. I don’t think there’s any Kennedy’s in Utah. // Guy: Yet. // Hah, yet. Or trying to go up against the Governator, right? Jeez. There’s a Kennedy, there, too!”

“Kent is different. The only major protest action after Nixon’s announcement on the Kent campus was a bunch of graduate history students. ‘Whoa, this’ll be cool. Let’s demonstrate!’ ‘Okay, what’re we gonna do?’ Very simple. ‘We will…bury the Constitution!’And to show you how bent they were on bringing down the American government and destroying the way of life as we know it, they decided that they had to have a name. They’re name would be… WHORE. ‘Cause only history grad students could come up with this, kay? ‘World Historians Opposed to Racism and Exploitation’. Now, they wanted it to be ‘World Historians Opposed to Racism and Inequality’ until they realized that inequality doesn’t start with an E. So, exploitation. History students havin’ fun? Yeah. And what they did, gang, was they went to the central part of campus. The commons, a green area, surrounded by different buildings, kind of hilly. There’s a pretty steep hill that each year gets steeper. It’s amazing how that happens. You know, so each year when I walk it it’s like *heaves for breath*Gets steeper. // Guy: I don’t think it’s the hill… // No! The hill gets steeper! That’s how it works, right? And one of the things that’s right in the middle of the commons is something known as the victory bell. This was the rallying point. Mainly it was the rallying point for sports events, like whenever the Kent State football team won, they’d go and they would ring the bell. It hadn’t been rung in long time, so they figured they might as well go and work there. What these guys decided to do… was to bury the constitution. So they show up at noon on Friday May 1st, at the victory bell with a shovel and a bullhorn and someone said ‘Okay, whose got the Constitution?’ ‘I don’t have it, do you?’ ‘No, I don’t have it.’ ‘Well, whose got the Constitution?’ ‘Well, I don’t. Alright, we got the bullhorn. And we got a shovel to bury it.’ But they didn’t have… these are really dynamo protestors, aren’t they? I mean, wow, these guys are dangerous. So, what they did was they sent one guy to run up the hill to one of the buildings called Taylor Hall, someone ran in there, found a history text book, ripped the back pages out that has the Constitution, ran down and said ‘Hey, got the Constitution!’ And so, with the bullhorn a few folks spoke saying how Nixon, with his executive action on going into Cambodia, has killed the Constitution, so we might as well give it a good burial.”

“’Bout the only thing these guys actually accomplished on Friday was to say ‘Hey, on Monday, let’s have another one at noon. Because Kent is an enlightened institution to where it has a free hour for all students between 12 and 1. * looks up to TBTP’s on above floor* It is an enlightened institution that has a free hour for all students between 12 and 1. So students can congregate and talk- Ooh. That’s it, isn’t it?”

“Kent… is a college town. And typically in college towns you have what? IN the business district ,there were a plethora of… establishments that would serve alcoholic beverages. In a college town on a weekend night – well, now, pretty much starting on Thursday’s – you, of course have students in the library studying. A few who are in their dorms studying – or they’r ein their dorms putting towels against their doors and window sills… - or they’re going where? To said establishment’s serving alcoholic beverages.”

“As the number of kids hanging out and about start to build, a couple of the Kent police officers in one of the several Kent police cars, start driving through the area. Somebody takes a beer bottle and throws it, it hits the police car, kay? Which was, again, not unusual. It’s like all of a sudden it’s ‘OHMYGOD!’ This is normal Friday night stuff. But, the problem is that you’ve got this kind of tension going on, cause of what has happened in other parts of the country. I mean… it’s not like they… stole the police car where it was parked out in front of Bert’s and drove it around for 45 minutes listening to the police scanner saying ‘Did you see ‘em, Charlie? I don’t know where they are?’ And you’d take it and you’d park it behind the high school and run up into the woods. It’s not like… they did that. // Guy: Who’d do that? // I don’t know who would do that. Not at all. No idea. Probably some young ruffians who’d do that. But the dumb thing was that they kept using the same police band that was on in the car! We knew where they were! It was like, OHMYGOD, ‘Andy, they took my police car!’ Anyhow… that was somewhere else, too, not Kent.”

Okay, so, as far as I know, I have A’s in all four of my classes thus far. I got an A on my health presentation thingy. I have over 100% in Music. Other two are awesome!prof classes.

And then on the 15th I’m going to check out where I wanna transfer to and applying after that. And Awesome!Prof is teaching wenter courses, so if I have to talk to him about anything to do with that, at least I know I’ll be able to catch him sometime.

And, on another awesome note, yay! I get to freeze on the roof Saturday putting up Christmas stuff. Wahoo~

“And to help you guys out while you’re filling those stupid evaluations out, since we’re playing with kinship and family in Vietnam, I’ve got a brief musical interlude here for you. It will really help Jess and Roger get through this since they’ve already seen it all. ’Cause, I mean, I’s Vietnam, so it’s all about the war, right? So, anything discussing Vietnam and the war has to have the obligatory soundtrack. // Me: It’s not the 18 minute song again is it? I’m not sure that counts as a ‘brief’ musical interlude. // No worries, it is not Alice. It’s… *Fortunate Son plays* // Guy: Is this the Forest Gump soundtrack? // Actually, it’s the soundtrack to my generation. I don’t think there is a Vietnam documentary and/or Hollywood film that doesn’t have this in it somewhere. This is the obligatory Vietnam song.”

“Okay, let’s see. You guys… Fall… *filling out his eval of us* Alright, got a question to ask you guys. This one’s here for the faculty course description stuff. ‘Rate students in this class as a whole in comparison to other classes you have taught in terms of ability’ are you guys: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, or Very Poor? // Me: I think we’re excellent all across the board. // Roger: Fair. // Guy: We’re poor. I vote very poor. // As much as I wanna fail all you guys so I can keep ya next semester, I guess I’ll say excellent. ‘In terms of attitude?’ Hah! I guess I’ll just put excellent again.”

Other musical interludes included: My Generation by The Who, Ohio by Crosby Stills & Nash

*puts tape into VCR* “Lets’ see if this thing actually works… It’s… eating it? Crunch Crunch Crunch? That can’t be good. // Guy: I guess we have to listen to more music. // Okay! Jefferson Airplane. Volunteers or White Rabbit? White Rabbit? Okay, yeah. *plays*”

“How we doing with the evaluations? We done? I’m not even supposed to be in here…. I’m not supposed to see ‘em or like… my eyes burn out of my skull or something.”

“Girl: Can you play this [White Rabbit} backwards? // No, because if I do, you’ll all wanna either kill someone or commit suicide and we will see the purple cactus men and grand funk railroad and I mean something like that might happen, so I’ve been told.”

“Roger: That part of the song is like the climax where everyone overdoses. // Nah, this is the drug overdose song. *plays Five to One by the Doors*”

“Then, don’t forget – our very last day, the 10th, what we’re going to do… you gotta bring crayons. We’ll wind it up with a Maori spirituality deal. So. You must bring crayons. Or colored pencils or something. We’re gonna color. Just so you understand that all the money you spent on this course, this higher level educational experience in an honors program that on the last day, you’re gonna color and talk in a different language.”

Meh, I don't have much to say today. Especially about AMV. Mostly because we spent 1/4 of the class listening to what is apparently the longest and most ridiculous song ever.

( Alice's )

18 minutes and 34 second. Damn.

It is 18 minutes of... nothingness. xD

So, new schedule all worked out. I am much happier with this one, even thought it means giving up on completing the Honors Program. It means transferring out sooner.

New schedule:

MWF:
~8:00-8:55 (this is a killer hour, I curse early classes) Western Civ I - Hopefully to be taught by Awesome!Prof

~9:05-10:00 History of Maryland - Taught by Awesome!Prof

~10:10-11:05 Western Civ II

MW:
~11:15-12:10 Holistic Health (2 credit, annoying gen-ed thing).

And I talked to Awesome!Prof about where I wanna transfer to - he's alum. He's planning to write some letters and make some phone calls to his friends there. ^_^

Also, I aced my Anthro test, my Book Report and the Outline of my final Anthro project. :D Fucking awesome day.

And I did my Health presentation, as awkward as the subject matter was, the parts that I stole from Anthro were awesome (read: reading bits from this utterly ridiculous piece of history as an example of how gender roles have changed) and it all went well. :3

Mrngh. I set the wrong alarm. I was up and ready to go an hour before I had to be. Everyone else in my house was already awake so it did not seem strange to me. It should have seemed strange to them but apparently, they thought I was just getting on top of things and waking up at a decent hour.

The alarm for when I actually had to get up should be going off like... now.

*covers head with pillow* Guh.
