So here’s an obligatory daily flash about cruises. Since I was on one yesterday. It’s kinda boring though (just like an actual cruise)! Anyway, in unrelated (but actually somewhat related) news, today was the last day of college orientation and we had a 30-minute diagnostic essay-writing thing. Apparently it’s to assess where each of us are as writers, and doesn’t actually affect our grades at all. And once that was over, we got to leave! Actual classes start next Tuesday, but I don’t have classes on Tuesday, so I get to go back on Wednesday (which I guess is Cirno Day)! Now I have five days of no classes! Five! That’s almost… yeah.
Oh wait, I just remembered! It was weird… last night when I was lying in bed trying to sleep, somehow I felt as if the room was rocking back and forth like the boat was earlier. It was weird. Very weird.
So today was the first day of college orientation! People had their photos taken today, but I already had a photo ID from the summer course I took, so all I really had to do was get a “Fall” sticker placed on top of the “Summer” sticker that was already there. Anyhow, we got our schedules today, and the good news is that I don’t have classes on Tuesdays and only one class on Thursdays. The bad news is that two out of five days, there’s a class that goes all the way to 8PM! And I thought getting out at 4PM in high school was bad… Oh well, at least there’s a bunch of breaks in between. Though I’m sure I’ll get incredibly bored quickly (or perhaps inundated with work to do). Anyhow, I don’t know yet how this will affect how often I make daily flashes or other stuff, but I guess we’ll see. It’ll probably be a lot harder to keep up though.
And… oh right, photo IDs. Yeah, most people don’t tend to like how their photos turn out. And that’s all.
Agh, August is just about over (or maybe it’s already over depending on what timezone you’re in). Every summer vacation, I always get a sense that I didn’t really do anything interesting, even if I actually did. There’s always the feeling that summer vacation is too short, and when it’s about to end, you go “What? It’s ending already?” regardless of whether or not you did anything interesting. If you spend your summer doing interesting things, you won’t want the fun to end, and if you spend your summer doing nothing, you want the vacation to be longer so that you’ll have more time to spend not doing anything. Interesting how that works out. Well anyhow, college orientation starts tomorrow, so my summer vacation is over today! And for the people who still have time to waste before they have to go back do doing stuff… I envy you!
Oh yeah, and I couldn’t think of anything easy-to-draw interesting thing to do besides hang-gliding, so Headphones Character’s memories may be a bit lacking in interestingness. But be assured that she had fun.
It certainly is back-to-school shopping time! I don’t particularly need to do any shopping since I have tons of stuff left over from the last time it was back-to-school shopping time. Anyhow, the nearby Staples store always has a ton of free stuff around this time, like folders, erasers, sharpeners, and pencil cases, and they’re never really that good and don’t last that long, but they’re free!! Free stuff is always nice.
Those prerecorded laugh tracks in sitcoms sure do get annoying sometimes. I wonder how many sitcoms on TV have laugh tracks from people who are actually watching the show as it’s being filmed, as opposed to using prerecorded sounds. Probably not that many at all. Anyhow, making this daily flash got me wondering… what if prerecorded laughing sound effects played in real life every time something funny (or supposedly funny) happened? Then I decided that it would be very annoying. The end.
