Hey all =) Look, I updated!! I actually added a new art piece that I finished last week. The colors didn't come out too well in the photo =/ I'm now currently working on my THIRD concentration piece (oh god I'm so behind... the AP test is in May and this semester I'll only have finished THREE!!!!!!) Actually, about that parenthesis... I could always use the Nakashima Mika and BoA pieces as concentrations if I need to, since I have plenty of other breadth work.

I also added a music section to TC. I wanted to give some plugs to some of my favorite semi-unknown singers. Please listen to the previews, hehe. And then buy their CDs! I also typed up this huge list of songs that I can use to timeline my life in the past 3 years. It's crazy. It makes me remember so much when I go back and listen to old songs @_@

I sent in 5 college applications, only 2 more to go. I had two interviews last weekend! One with the Admissions Dean.

There's supposed to be ice tomorrow morning... I hope school is delayed. But I'm sure as hell glad that we're not getting hit like the Midwest did. I feel sorry for them and the people on the Pacific coast (wildfires, storms, so much havoc!)

I wonder how many people are visiting this site LOL.

I don't know what to do about DFL. Skye told me the links are broken. I'll have to go check it out. The problem is, I think so many of the people who said they'd get involved are kind of inactive on their own sites, or I can't get a hold of now partly due to that -- AND I don't want to bug people, especially it being around holiday time and school. Not sure what to do. Maybe next summer?

Speaking of next summer, I don't know what I'm going to do. Go on another foreign adventure like Japan? Do an academic program, like the Cambridge one? I'm heading into college right after that so not sure I want to do academics all summer, heh. Maybe I'll find something fun.

Oh, my, gosh! My name is ELLEN TOO@@~! Link exchange?! *0* I want to go to Japan this summer.. ;o;

what spinkybean said
i visit your site often too! i just...dont comment...i should though...loving this new layout
happy new years :D

Hey, Silver, it's Yumi :3

As I got to college this year (finally), for summer I would suggest either a fun internship or something fun.

College takes away a lot of stamina, therefore live your summer.

If you are worried about academics, just get some reading and you will be rested and smart for college :D

Hey, I visit your site quite often, it's just that I didn't comment. =P Anyway, the colors for the Boa artwork looks good =) Keep it up!

And good luck with everything. =)

I listened to previews from each of the singers. Not really my kind of music, but maybe it will be for some of your other visitors. :)

Speaking of visitors, if you're that curious, add a stats tracker. I convinced myself that on Ealain I didn't care how many came and that I'd go by comments instead but then got curious so added the tracker. No harm in finding out.

Good luck with the college applications and interviews *hugs*

As for next summer, definitely do something fun before university ties you down to your desk -.-
