I *think* that if I really crack down today, I can finish my video. Unfortunately that simply won't happen because of the assload of homework I've been putting off to just get my video to this point. I have about 40 seconds of song left, plus a ~10 second strecth near the beginning that I haven't been able to find any appropriate scenes for. So I have roughly 50 seconds left to add, which adds up to a few hours of actual editing. I could do it today...but I think I'll spread it out over the next couple days. I do want to finish it by Friday afternoon, though, because I'm going home for the weekend and I'd like to have it off my conscience by then. Plus I really wanna get started on a new AMV, which will require me finishing up RahXephon (another week-long process, purposely drawn out).
Anyway, I should have gotten my direct deposit somewhere between last week and today, so I can withdraw some money and buy myself Serial Experiments: Lain this weekend! That's exciting.
And we've been having storms in the area lately. Apparently my house (which is about an hour west of Chicago, where my school is) got flooded with an inch of water. It's been rough back home, I guess, because my family doesn't have a lot of money and my parents have really had to work to just send me to college. They've been stressed, and this certainly isn't helping...I feel bad :/ But there's not a whole lot I can do to help.
Aaaanyway...I have to work in 30 minutes. Worst job ever. I won't even go into it, but the three hours I work are the low point of my day. I can't stand it. I hate it. *I hate it.*

I should start on that paper. And that other one. And I should read that chapter, and the other one, and start that other book...but I don't wanna. I'm not feeling very responsible right now :/
My video's coming along verrry slowly. By choice. I'm just a big, fat procrastinator.
It's storming outside. Pretty bad, too. I love it. I love the bad weather. It gives me an excuse not to go out...I've become incredibly reclusive lately. I blame it all on AMVs.
Ok, I thought I had more to say. Apparently I was wrong. -

I've been finding every excuse not to edit my video. It's weird, because usually I enjoy editing so much that I put off even going to the bathroom to get certain scenes perfect. With this video, though...I dunno, I don't feel like I need to get it done as soon as I can, even though I have at least three more AMV ideas rolling around in my head that I want to get started on.
I blame it on this site. I'm new to amv.org; I've only been a member here for just over a month. But I can't get enough of it; I'm constantly checking the forums, browsing through AMVs, and the bane of my existence as an editor: reading journals. Most of them are boring to me, but every now and then there are entries that I really enjoy, especially Dj_ultima_the_great's entries. They're very interesting and well-written; and for those of you who think I'm trying to get on her good side or something, I'm not. I've never even talked to her before. I just like her journal entries. You should read them. They're quite entertaining ^_^
Oh, and the other bane of my current project is giving opinions. I LOVE to give opinions. Unfortunately I only ever give opinions to the videos I think are good, which I'm working on. I kind of WANT to give a bad review. But I can't. Then again, I have yet to see a truly TERRIBLE AMV. I need to download more. I only download a couple a day, and typically only AMVs that I've heard good things about. That's something else I need to work on.
Anyway, I should probably get back to my video. Or sleep, which is looking more promising seeing as I have to get up at 7:30 for a class >:|
Ugh, kill me, I hate Mondays. -
Dammit, job

Guh.
Ok, every single day someone from my work calls me to ask me to come in. I never pick up my phone, so I never have to go in, but it's still really frustrating because I work four days out of the week and I DO have quite a bit of homework. So I wake up this morning turn on my cell phone (I always turn it off before I go to bed) and what do you know? There's a voice message from one of my supervisors at work asking me to come in. By this time it's too late, but I'm still wary of going in to lunch because I hate to have to confront the guy that called me and tell him that I'm sorry I couldn't come in (I work in our school's cafeteria).
But still, seeing as there's not going to be any dinner (they don't serve dinner on Sundays because I go to a Christian college, I don't know how that works at other schools :/ ) and I'm really hungry, I decide to go in. Not only do I get sucked into a conversation with some kid from my Dialogue class that I don't really know, which forces me to sit with him and his friends because I don't want to be rude, making my whole lunch REALLY awkward, but when I finish and get up to leave I run into my supervisor who asks me to work 11:00-2:30 on Sundays.
I hate my job. Like, I really *hate* it. I stand behind pans of food for three hours and scoop food onto people's plates. For $6.00 an hour. It's the most mind-numbing task you can imagine.
ARGH. I'm so angry. I'll do it for a week or two, but then I'm going to say that I can't anymore because I need to go to church in the mornings, which I actually will do because I haven't been going since I started college.
Or, wait, no. I have a better idea. I'll just say I go home every other weekend, which I do, so maybe they'll decide to look for someone else.
Whatever. No matter what I'm NOT working on Sundays.
