Core Study Guide DONE!!!

Order Update Time: Due to the lack of availability, Amazon cancelled the gold organizing structure for journals recommended by The Perpetual Page-Turner and instead it shipped off the black candle warmer as of this morning. Weird!

Projects: IMPORTANT AND URGENT: Cultural Contact Paper (due on Monday; still needs 6 more hours of exposure to ASL outside class - let's get moving!) for ASL and Oceanography Group Project Marine Protected Areas (Final draft of outline and bibliography due on Monday also - get going, Nat!) IMPORTANT BUT NOT URGENT: core study guide (1 entry left to go! Will be done and done by tomorrow despite the SOAPT section at the end), 100 Days of Thanks (84% complete), and The Science of the Christian Life (65% complete and will update by next Friday or next Saturday, depending on my moodlet for the incumbent graduation from college) URGENT BUT NOT IMPORTANT: my 5.5-year old blog NEITHER IMPORTANT NOR URGENT: Time Bomb: an old-school fanfic from 2013-14 (will work more on chapter 21 after the detox period sometime during the gap year) Bookish Update Time: The Remnant by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (Left Behind, #13 in chronological order) (What chapter am I on now? Chapter 14; will be done soon and very soon as quickly as I can...) I can't believe that I am stuck for nearly 2 days and counting forever until then due to television and music. How should I get rid of the unneccessary habit?

@Catherine17 Yes, I am taking the gap year after summer school.

I can't wait to write something inside during the gap year hopefully. For now, I am keeping it in my ever-growing 100% blank journal collection.

Me too perhaps except... my mother is deciding to go with me this year or next year to Portland, Oregon. On a more personal level, I have summer school after graduation. Ugh! Those extra books, pencils, and teachers' dirty looks...

Have you seen the Crash Course account of history by the Green brothers? I saw it back in high school world history class.

How is calligraphy? I haven't done it either.

Congrats!

Last Monday, I ordered a journal that is all-colorful (ew... no homo-related stuff in it, looks professional and mature) and an organizer structure I needed from the blog I subscribed to. Both are of Amazon! I am saving it as rewards for one last end-of-school-year milestone once when it enters my house. I am not opening it unless I am done with all the hard work I did for so long. My vocal lesson was delayed until Friday due to the Memorial Day holiday. I will get back to schedule this upcoming week. No gaming for me. Last week, I have seen a YouTube video again due to the live action remake of Aladdin, which is about let's watch the 3D animated sequel called Son of Aladdin. I know... *shivers*

What is it? Tell us clearly but professionally!

@CalmCactus Welcome to GQ! ☺

Week of May 19, 2019 (Days 19-25) How Are You Feeling? Boring... What Did You Do? 1. Went on the field trip to the intertidal beach to study organisms, did most of the logsheet done, watched the American Idol season finale, chilled, and then I fell asleep after dinner 2. Started oceanography group project 3. Finished the Monopoly game board sweepstakes for Mom (we only won $5) 4. Seen the Aladdin live action remake Highs (H) and Lows (L) L: Still struggling with intermediate to advanced ASL H: I had too much free time to chill all week long. Oops... What Can You Do Better Next Week? I wanna be better at school, I am almost done!

Catherine, are you available? We miss you! I hope you are okay. Everything will turn out for the better when you get the chance. I know I have struggled sometimes and I dealt with life fine.

And now... progress updates midweek! Projects: IMPORTANT AND URGENT: Term Paper (will be due on Tuesday; will work on it shortly...) and Cultural Contact Paper (due on June 10; still needs 6 more hours of exposure to ASL outside class) for ASL and Oceanography Group Project Marine Protected Areas (Rough draft of outline and bibliography due on Wednesday) IMPORTANT BUT NOT URGENT: core study guide (2 entries left to go!), 100 Days of Thanks (71% complete), and The Science of the Christian Life (still 60% complete and will update in 2-4 days (Sunday nights may be idealistic at best after all the American Idol and the National Football League shenanigans taking place most of every single school year here in America since my third year of college (2017-18))) URGENT BUT NOT IMPORTANT: my 5.5-year old blog NEITHER IMPORTANT NOR URGENT: Time Bomb: an old-school fanfic from 2013-14 (will work more on chapter 21 after the detox period sometime during the gap year)Bookish Update Time: The Remnant by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (Left Behind, #13 in chronological order) (What chapter am I on now? Chapter 10) Currently doing 1 chapter per night to help keep the progress boosting... (FAILED! (AGAIN?!)) Author's Note: Sorry, one of my sisters brought up the movie based on the video game (in which I just don't want to tell anyone about this) because of the fact that I'm afraid if this makes me want to watch YouTube, then I would end up in a relapse and start all over again. I just don't want to wait any longer for breaking the record streak of not playing video games than it needs to be, but I want to stay endured and get really serious with my schoolwork more than procrastination for no apparent reason other than having someone brought up a part of my selfish ambition (a strong flaw that is severely detrimental in the way of my Christian walk due to autism) live and in person. I don't feel like having to seek the job market and find a new job. I want to spend all gap year as a housewife (I'm single, celibate, not married, a virgin, infertile, barren, and reproductively ill.) before I was supposed to sign up for the stupid auditions to check off successfully, so I can go grab a golden ticket for a return to California in peace after sevenish years since my last visit just before my blog debuted. I don't need to bring a resume and anything work-related. It's just too much and it is just nothing but a colossal waste of time. Let me think about planning for the gap year after small group communications class for summer school.

I'm so sorry to hear that... good luck on your detox (again).

Day 18: How's my day? Boring. I did most of my morning routine, but the workout task seems to be lacking the most since I dealt with a tiny bit of rearrangements and I just waited the rest of the day for my dad and sister to come back home while I got most of the addidtional questions for labwork done along with a bit more of my study guide. Dang! My second exam is on Tuesday. Geez... the field trip is tomorrow. At least, we got her small things from the rental car to transport over to her own room. Because of the unchanged and potentially worse state of the cleanliness inside my house the past decade (well, despite the short period of time in one section or another), she can sleep in the couch. I am too tired to try on the new sneakers, so instead I wrote a tiny bit of new info onto my fanfic condensed draft (physical 200-paged composition notebook edition - 3 accounts in one volume). Again, nothing new. Just being familiarized with the environment and all... Because I will be busier throughout the weeks ahead, I won't post daily but instead will do every week or two. I hope I will see you all again in a bit. Bye! Author's Note: Sorry, this will be posted a few minutes late of the supposed day to post. Projects: IMPORTANT AND URGENT: Term Paper (will be due next Tuesday; working on it shortly...) and Cultural Contact Paper (due on June 10; needs 6 more hours of exposure to ASL outside class) for ASL and Oceanography Group Project Marine Mammal Protection Act of Orcas (Rough draft due next Wednesday) IMPORTANT BUT NOT URGENT: core study guide (3 entries left to go!), 100 Days of Thanks (66% complete), and The Science of the Christian Life (60% complete) URGENT BUT NOT IMPORTANT: my 5.5-year old blog NEITHER IMPORTANT NOR URGENT: Time Bomb: an old-school fanfic from 2013-14 (will work more on chapter 21 after the detox period sometime during the gap year) Bookish Update Time: The Remnant by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (Left Behind, #13 in chronological order) (What chapter am I on now?

Day 17: Today, my dad just left to pick up my sister from uni. He'll be back by tomorrow. Meanwhile, I did a bit of school work throughout the day and we reviewed what most if not some have learned this year during the course of ASL when it comes to numbers. My brain was tired during the rest of the day after the lab work for oceanography, for I did a bit of my study guide for the second exam of Oceanography 101 after ASL class. Thankfully, I had lunch in between classes, so that's good. I came home ready to watch the news first, then I saw Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, and then College Humor's Hardly Working. Next came a bit of College Humor and some MasterChef celeb showdown edition. Last, I have seen the news. Now, I am ready to sleep! Again nothing productive in the evening... *sigh* I wanna work at home first thing in the morning after the water, devo, a sermon to make sure I am spiritually rested for the upcoming week (I know I am going to the beach on Sunday to study tidepooling, but I will continue with part 12 of the science of the Christian life the day before I go on the field trip.), coffee, cartoons (FINALLY! No more e/i quality live-action education BS since Career Day from circa 2011!), and then get all prettied up for some serious work to do for school.

Reply to the topic you just created.

Day 16: I woke up this morning to a devo and had some breakfast. Then I pulled out less than $600 for all the last of my tution to school (all of it goes to summer school). I am sorry I was more than 20 minutes late to class, but I did it okay in fingerspelling quiz that has to do with the islands topic. Then we reviewed what we just learned at some point last Tuesday or something. It is all about subjects of study. I am looking forward to branching out history and putting the pieces together from the dawn of time - mother nature knows, but God didn't due to the folly of fableism regarding the ancestry before "we build the pyramids" nowadays since the sixties - all the way toward present day. Anyways, I did a bit of my oceanography homework. Teehee... less than 3 hours are spent on the class, and then the meeting after the meeting. At 3pm, campus is closed due to the #MeToo moment inside the B building yesterday and investigation went on for the rest of the day. I got my 50 stars back on a smores frappé from Starbucks. Now, I am happy... I listened to some way past cool music (no, not the 70s shenenigans Pandora thought about what I really mean by that; the alternative rock music from the 1990s, some "eXtreme" ska, and the emo "goffik" rock of the 2000s is what literally defined the meaning of this to me) before the Big Bang finale. It took us one hour for the show to FINALLY END! Thank the Lord! Phew. 12 years is all it took for me from starting 6th grade all the way to finishing college while the show ran. And by the way... several new shows like a white patient falling in love with a black nurse (that's racist... *ding*), "The Unicorn", "Evil", and more are coming to CBS. I can't watch TV. Sorry, my dad thinks it is comforting. Me? It makes my own brain MINDLESSLY DUMB! The commercials on exclusive over-the-air television channels are even more worse than the ones you've all seen on cable due to excessive amounts of manipulation telling you to call now to pay for what you cannot afford and do not need. It's meaningless... get your bottom off the couch and work hard! I am sick and tired of all the Medicare ads, life insurance ads, fads, and whatnot. At age 65, I'd better go read the history of Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry than to learn EVERYTHING about Medicare. That is on my bucket list of "yet to come", for it would be better for a child to be stillborn than it is alive. I got my oceanography homework done at the end of the day. Now, I will rest for the night. Toodles!

Day 15: I was up 30 minutes late than scheduled, did my devo, got ready for the day, and just went straight to the computer lab to take a receptive exam. It took me 45 minutes to complete the test, but man the timing was too rushed. The actual time left was 70 minutes, so I came in a few minutes late and submitted a few minutes before class is over. I was too tired mentally to translate from ASL to English. I was affectedly drunk because of the condensed version I was trying to do retell in my own words, but I just ended up being too stressed out due to time constraints. After the test, I had time to read an article for oceanography homework. Then, we came up with a topic for the presentation at the last minute. Then, I did a paragraph for oceanography after listing out traits of all invertebrates. Then, I did a one-on-one meeting. Now it is raining, I am starving. I wasted $2 on nothing and then $2 more on an ice cream sandwich. It took me 1 hour to come home by car due to traffic. I am not taking a bachelor in applied science because it takes too much work, so I don't want to waste two more years of stupid education, okay?! I want to take a gap year and then use another year hopefully for American Idol. If the judges don't want me to go back to California after seven years, I'd rather look for a lifetime partner to marry. If he rejected a purposal to marraige and we break up because of differences in each other, I'd gonna have a one-night stand, commit an abortion a month later, and then suicide while watching porn. I don't wanna die from the post-abortion stress syndrome. I just don't need to end my life so badly and rot in the pit of hell, okay. I have other things to work on to be more productive all in the name of God Almighty. An associate in arts and sciences are just the way it is... I would use my degree without a concentration to compete with the Hollyweirdos back in California. I am not there just so to do bad things like sexual immorality. I am there to get serious about making it to the top. I am THERE to WIN... IT... ALL! We had dinner and then... we kept arguing about the payment plan for the last of the tution over the summer. Because of the music, I am feeling much better now due to writing new content on my journal I got from Goodwill last August and checking the forums.

The Remnant (Left Behind, #13 in chronological order) by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins

How do you stop yourself from gaming? I sensed that the more important priorities - like school - are in the way for now. Are there preventative measures you can set for yourself? I already deleted The Sims Freeplay app 2 weeks ago, but I just don't want to be tempted to watch YouTube anymore. I have to deny the cravings until I get nearly two weeks off of school (transitioning from spring to summer term) when I have time to catch up with anyone and hopefully finish the playlist in time for graduation. Did you lose friends when quitting gaming? No. Nothing is wrong with relationships in real life, but online? It's mixed.
