So I haven't posted any journals since August! I mean, I've been around a few times, but not too often. So, here we go with some updates of how my first semester of college has gone (well, with three weeks still remaining after Thanksgiving).

So, band camp went great. The season went great. Love the band. This past Sunday we had our band banquet (aka Band Prom). I actually got a band award (out of 220 people)! I got the Most Enthusiastic Freshman award (okay, so maybe out of 50 or 60). My band buddy (we were assigned to returning members so they could help us out throughout the season.. I happened to get one of the drum majors) got Most Enthusiastic Senior. Destined to be band buddies! Haha!

So, yeah. I've been pretty busy, really. Had to keep up with engineering classes. I'm definitely getting out of engineering and going into Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (aka MCDB). Oh, and there's something behind that story...

I had another seizure this past September (09/09/09.. haha). I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Now what does that mean? There's no way I could become a pilot and astronaut... Sadly. So, I had a back-up plan! I am going into Premed, and become.. some kind of doctor. I'm not sure on the field yet, so I'm going to be pretty exploratory. So, there's that update.

Along with classes, I also had pretty chaotic family drama and was kicked out of my aunt's. Technically now, I have nowhere to live, but I'm moving into the dorms next semester. I've been staying with the boyfriend for a couple weeks now, and may have to live it out till the end of the semester because my parents aren't helping out with the funds for me to move into the dorms earlier (they still can't get along).

Then there's the boyfriend, of course. Pretty awesome guy. I can legitimately say we've been good friends for a very long time (8th grade)... I only said that about Erik because I felt it would make it seem more special. Haha. Major fail. So, everything's going great in that field!

So, I think that's all I have. I'm going to be planning my spring 2010 schedule soon. I register on the 20th, which is the latest I've heard! Ew.

Catch'all later. :]
GO BUFFS!

I'm leaving for college today. This week consists of band camp, and then classes begin on the 24th. I won't be around much... and I'm realizing how much I'm going to miss everyone. I'm not leaving dA, but the computer is no longer a major part of my life (it hasn't been for some time now, but I feel it's still appropriate to say). All my plans are still intact. Everything I said I was going to do is still going to be done.

This is my time! I'm going to miss everyone. I thank you all for the support I've gotten throughout the years and everything you've done for me! You guys have helped make me who I am today, and I'm extremely thankful for it! I'll be back maybe around the breaks, but I can't promise anything...

I love you all! Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I'm already going to thank you immensely for the attention my new fursona received already! I'm excited about her, so I hope I'll keep her for a long time; my current goal is throughout all of college.

Anywho, I'm finally coming home soon, where I can draw and whatnot! I am pretty pumped to finally finish all commissions. I apologize to those of you who have a slot and haven't paid. I have not been contacted recently by anyone for that matter, so those of you will no longer have your slots. I'm going to be clearing out my commission list, so I want to focus on those who have paid and are still waiting so patiently for me. They are all my top priority.

Meanwhile, once all my waiting commissions are completed, I may open up my $20 commissions again and auction off one commission that can be of anything, big or small (you may want to go for big... haha). I may also open up for trades, but I will be terribly picky. I may really only accept those who I've always wanted artwork from. I don't want to get ripped-off like I have before, spending hours on my half and my trade partner finishing theirs in a half hour or so. So be prepared!

I'm going to be going through my websites and working on them! I'm redesigning Treblesome to fit with Chels (better connection... singing dog + treble.. eheh?). I also want to continue working on BordavixDesigns. I'm featuring fan art, which can help with future pageviews and attention later on. *bribebribe*

My commission prices are going to be reviewed as well, both general, Furcadia, and Furry Paws. My general prices will be posted here and on BordavixDesigns. Furcadia prices will be posted on Treblesome after the redesign. Furry Paws will be posted on my kennel page (#26766). I'm going to review them all within the same day, so I'll update you when they're all done!

Meanwhile, I'm going to keep trying and have Virus on a regular, active schedule. I'm just so horribly picky about my backgrounds, so it may take a while before I finally have the redone first page up until I have a satisfying background style. Meanwhile, I will continue to make new references and try to boost up my forum activity. New templates will become available and whatnot as well. Later on, since I've heard feedback that some people do not like the dark colors, but yet some do, I'll work on making new layouts for people to choose. The main layout I'll change to be a medium between the two.

Let's see... anything else? It was just a regular update. I'd like to get another subscription, but now it's all the more reason to work on my website and save money!

Listening to 'Be Like That" by 3 Doors Down.. Thought you would like to know.

First off, I would love to announce I feel naked without some form of journalistic customization. Nonetheless, I believe I can manage!

Can you believe it? I'm 18! As of May 1st, of course, but I've been so horribly busy obsessing over completing school and, admittedly, over boys. Haha. Graduation is this Saturday! Thank goodness I'm finally done with high school! I'm off this entire week while all the underclassmen take their final exams. This leads me to my week's agenda before I head off to Florida on Monday.

This week, I've decided, is going to consist of my senior pictures. I don't have $400+ to spend on the filter-happy pictures taken back in September. Thus, I'm going to use my own photography skills (ha!) and take my own senior pictures and touch them up in Adobe myself. Then I can easily head over to Walgreens and get wallet prints. To kick off my potentially new addition to Bordavix Designs, I will be posting them on my website! I would like to get into photography. Luckily I even have my own logo to paste into the lower right-hand corner! I feel so special!

Meanwhile, keep in touch! I'm only a note away!

So, to start, my 18th birthday's almost here! I expect presents! I'm actually joking. I don't care. I've got a new laptop, and I'm getting a new bike, so I'm happy. But I wanted to get that out of the way. I'm almost a legal adult! :]

I've worked a little on the new Virus pages. I've gotten stuck, so I'm going pretty slow now. I've been focusing on my school work. AP exams are in about a month, and I'm worrying about finishing up everything before then. Plus, I've got my Senior Luncheon and Prom to worry about. I'm behind on a lot of it all.

I love you all and thank you for being so patient! It'll pay off one day! <3
