So.... things have happened in the world. A bit late to post a journal about it but better late than never I guess.

My school like all others have closed down and transitioned to online learning through Moodle and Zoom. I was really worried about how things would get done but after the first week, I'm a bit more... no, I'm still worried about it honestly. One professor is posting things at random hours and its hard to track when he will post or not cause it hardly ever the time we usually have class. Math is weird cause they keep changing things last minute, but its been like that all semester.

I left my apartment away from campus cause it got really bad that way but they won't let anyone break a lease so it probably was pointless. 

I was taking a Digital Arts class this term and I got really stressed about how to do my work, but the school has virtual computer labs now so I can use all the programs for my projects which is nice and I still need to work on those.

Nothing else really to report other than I am still alive, am I well? Uhhh maybe but I am still alive so that's something.

So the semester is finally over! Yay!
Grades haven't posted yet but I am pretty sure I passed all of them. Technically my online class is still going, but I am basically done with everything in there. So there was a tornado watch issued to where I am at. And there was this one time where lightning struck and the thunder from it shook the house. Kinda scary, but I should be fine, its kinda calmed down now but it could pick up anytime.

So in my last journal I posted about the new club I was interested in, and now can say that I did choose that one over animation club, and am also the president of it now. I actually also got some people interested by the flyers I made so thats really cool. 

As I open this journal it is currently 12:02 AM CST.
Luckily Tuesdays I just have one class that doesn't start till 1PM. 
Why am I up and writing this you may or may not be asking, well I just wanted to give a little update on certain things.

I'm still in college, semester has been going pretty fair I think. Haven't really drawn anything personal in a while, mainly been working on class projects. Other then one drawing but I may or may not post haven't decided. I'm kinda stressing out just because it's nearing the end of the semester, can't even begin how many times I've had panic attacks, within the last few weeks. 
Made so really good new friends, they are amazing love em to pieces lol. I was actually looking through old journals and got the idea to write this one. And I saw a really old one from 2017 talking about the top ten things that happened in 2016, so I might do that for 2019, so I guess look out for that if you're interested.

So I was in animation club, and it's fun don't get me wrong, and we're actually doing a group animation thing, but I don't really want to? Does that even make sense?? There's just this other club that meets at the exact same time and day as them and I just feel more drawn to it. It's called The Red Couch Society, it's just a club to learn how to be more creative. It's still VERY new and I'm like one out of two official members lol. 
I have a class that is creative problem solving, right now it's strictly for Digital Arts students, but the professor wants others to learn that you don't have to be into art to be creative, creativity can help in all aspects of life. So he started up The Red Couch Society as a way to get people into thinking creatively. So far really only DA students have shown up lol. 
I already have my classes for next semester, and it's going to be busy busy, so I don't know when I'll be posting something again. I have a few drawings from my FA200 class I can post but I think it's only two, almost three or four... Well basically four but two aren't done yet. And I actually have a funny sketch, while I'm thinking about it, but it's kinda dark humor funny so I may not post it buuut, if you wanna know what the idea is you can look up the song "Odds Are" by BNL. Watch the music video, it's just funnier, the lyrics are what is related to my sketch. I guess it's not total dark humor but context is important. 
Hmm what else, I guess that's it. This probably is long enough anyway. 

So you know I was actually debating or not to share this story. But then I was like "yeah, why not... in case you forget you have it right here to remember" 

So today I had an exam for my sociology class. Which I'm pretty sure I didn't do to well on but that's besides the point the story is what comes after.
So I actually have two friends that I hang out with from that class. We usually all three hangout afterwards, although I could go home cause it is my last class on those days I have it but I don't want one of them to have to wait alone for almost 2 hrs alone, cause I know I wouldn't want to. The other is a guy that was previously friends with the one I initially wait with and after a few times of hanging out with him I think it's okay to say me and him are friends  
So we usually go to the cafeteria/hangout spot. And because we just had that exam I was still filled with axiety. And the guy was telling me to calm down by doing something to get my mind off of it. Which I had to think about what to do. And he was like "dude, that totally the opposite of what I said" so I started to sketch a little. And that wasn't helping. And then he suggested we play pool, (we have pool tables at the hangout place) so we three play. 2v1, I was the 1. 
spoiler warning I am terrible at pool
I lost the rock, paper, scissors to be on the guys team and I honestly don't know why me and my other friend, who is a she not that, that info is important just wanted to state that lol, was on the same team. So we technically all are pretty bad at pool but I'm definitely the worst of the three lol. So we are having a pretty fun time, laughing all that stuff. So going straight to the embarrassing part, I'll set the scene. I only have four striped balls left, three of which are PERFECTLY lined up at a corner pocket. The cue ball is at a perfect distance and has nothing blocking it's path. I set up for a three in one. I am, I hit the cue ball, annnnndd... it hopes over all three hits the corner of the pool table and falls off.

They​ technically but not really won because they hit the cue ball in the pocket right after the 8 ball so you know it's whatever. But I was down to only two stripes at the end of the game. 

Note: So this story is a little overdue to be told. This is the time my friend and I got lost not once but twice and stayed in a car for far too long. 


So, my good buddy: HD00ley has a younger brother...an annoying younger brother, who just got a job over on a rig that's roughly 10 hours away. The brother doesn't have a car so he gets HD00ley to take him. And instead of him going alone he asks me to ride with him. Being a good friend I said yeah. <----(I didn't know it at the time but I will regret this decision) 

So we actually had to go somewhere else before he headed to the rig. And that ride took an hour, then we waited in the car for 2 hours. Then we had to go all the way back to the house that added an hour. Then it took 10 hours to get to the rig, but we gotten lost..this would be the first time we get lost. We are lost about three hours. We give up the cause at this point it is 5 in the morning. We go to a rest area and sleep till ten. The annoying brother is still with us. This dude is one of those people that love arguing it doesn't matter what. He would argue with you why the sky is blue. Or the opposite of what you say. We went at it a few times. 

So we finally make it to the right rig...the only thing is that they are moving it. It's 12ish now. We are waiting cause the brother's friend said to follow a truck. Well...Mr impatient couldn't wait so he said we should just try to find it on our own, by following the GPS. That's how we got lost the first time. But instead of putting his foot down, HD00ley does follow the GPS again. And we just drive. Backroads. And more back roads. Somehow we.get into the desert. Instead of being smart and turning around as HD00ley and I said to, Brother didn't want to and said that it's just around the corner. We were passing brushes, we even saw a coyote run in front of us. At one point we decide that we do need to turn around but it was mainly due to that we came to a dead end. And my friend ended up running over a brush like seriously bad, scratched up his whole car, we didn't even check for damages that happened underneath. 

So we are going and going and we come across this different rig. There was only one guy there and he gave us directions to a 'way' we could get there and a WAY to get back to the MAIN road with blacktop. But brother said we should take the 'way' to the rig, my friend at this point was very frustrated, I was too. So we continue more. And get even further from any civilization. So at this point, it has to be around 3 or so. We ended up going back to the main road. We are on blacktop, oh my gosh it was such a relief. We finally make it to the rig and for some reason, brother didn't want to get his stuff from the car put it where he needed to. So we had to stay there for an extra 15 minutes while they decided what to do with him because he got there too late to work since they are setting up a new rig and the rooms or houses that they sleep in weren't up yet. 

So FINALLY finally we are making our way back home. Get n the highway BOOM traffic... for three hours. The only reason I know the exact time is because of the podcasts we listened to. We finally get back on track but get short stopped again because we had to take a bathroom break and stopped at a rest camp. It was actually a pretty cool on it had information about space, but while I was there, there were other people that were stuck in the same traffic and were talking about why it even happened. They said it was because someone got into a wreck, but there weren't any cars when we passed that seemed like there was one but you know it is possible that they cleaned it up pretty fast. 

So you know I guess you can look at us getting lost in the desert help prevent us from being in the wreck as well. I mean the time frame add up to that.

Just a quick math check: Okay, guys so it took us 10 hours to get there, we got lost the 1st time which added 3 hours, up to 13 now. We rest for 5 hours, making 18, we ate and drove around adding 2 hours, were up to 20 now, we were lost in the desert for at least 3 hours (that math comes from the fact we got to the right rig at a little past 4 pm) So 23 hours so far then we get stuck in traffic for another 3 hours... 26. The traffic happened just a little ways from the actual rig so we hardly killed any time back to home, so +10 hours for the trip back that 36, and lets not forget the time my friend and I had to set in the car when brother was getting his check up done, which was 2 hours and another 2 hours for the trip back and forth to their house. Coming to a total of 40. Trust me guys I am all up for road trips and what not but I am not about that getting lost life, I can deal with traffic because at least you know where you are.
