I changed my layout! I'm really sort of happy with it, it being a lot cleaner than my last one. I doubt I'll be using speckled backgrounds on lj for awhile.

Top Gear season 12 started this month! But I've only seen the first episode, but ohmygosh Oliver! Watch Oliver in 10x4 to understand. African adventure ftw! Also, I like that that site has lots of show episodes on the page instead of mucking about with outsourcing (especially when you can't view it without signing up >_<). They don't have season 12 up, for that its falls to trusty Sidereel.

Classes for next semester are all registered for and I actually have 15 hours, a first! It will be my last semester of Latin, meaning that I have one more semester of weekly panic and inability. And then I'll get to actually start my Anthropology major. Oh goodie.

My Egyptian term paper has been moved back a week! :D I will be able to sleep this weekend, isn't that wonderful? The beginning of November is dreadful, all the classes have papers due so close to each other and yet that still does nothing to quell my tendencies toward procrastination. Shiny flash games are such a distraction.

...I finally changed my layout! :D I'm so glad that that old dull grey monstrosity is gone. This new layout's header was not made by me, however. I don't have excessive time this semester for graphics like last semester. :( The people in the header are from BBC's Robin Hood, characters of Will Scarlett and Djaq. If it had Allan I'd be tempted to never get rid of it. :P

So, while I'm here and all, I should probably do a bit of an update of my life this past month.

University: This semester is looking as though it will be time consuming. Not challenging (unless you count how far I can stretch my procrastination), but full of reading material.

Social: I've been realizing who are the ones that I'm missing. Problem with this is me feeling awkward about doing anything about it. Also, I want to try to improve certain aspects of my personality and general moods. At this time I am not that confident about this project.

Personal: Restlessness has set in a bit. I need to get out and move. Walk, run, dance, slid - I just don't want to do that around most people that much. Ran a block this weekend, first time in ages without a bus to catch, and I forgot it can be enjoyable.

Internet: Ohmygosh! I just won first and second place in two different icontests! ^_^ Its been about a year, including the breaks, since I started making graphics and I'm proud to say I have actually improved. (Not that I don't still produce crap, 'cause I do.) I'll post banners to esdlsd when they are made with the icons.

EDIT: Its been over four years since I first started this journal. I feel so old and so much better than my past self. Even if I still have so far to go.
