Extensive To Do; After

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:10:33 GMT

Hey, wow, so I finally wrote my extensive to do list. This doesnt even include my other projects and goals but it includes a good part of what I want to be doing this summer. I will be working hard on this all week and updating to cross off things I get done =D

EDIT: I removed all the completed and unnecessary items =) Also took out games, reading, and anything that cannot be done at the moment (waiting on info, files, etc).

Little update

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 07:24:44 GMT

Phew! Today did not go as planned! I just spent over 5 hours on the PotterShare "website" simple web pages to post the yearbook and newspaper... not even the actual design since Im waiting for that xD I had planned to spend about 2 to 3 hours on it. Oops!

I was also supposed to have 7 hours of free time ,which got gobbled up by having to go to my cousins for taxes. Oh well! We cancelled our taxes now so we wont have to worry about it every month. =)

Lastly, I was supposed to have time to prepare classes and my trad art day was today. I havent had time to do either yet, but because my personal schedule is the most important to me right now and I already did loads for PS, I will go do some trad art work to finish the day.

Radical.

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:53:06 GMT

I was going to take a week off next week, without internet... but I think I want to try something even more radical. I will reread DH in one day, by tomorrow evening. Then I will get out the DH fan art I have been holding back on since last year. After that, well... here goes the list!

Reread Deathly Hallows = p.220
DH fan art
Catch up in S&S for Fan Art Book Club
LMHG for Juli
Jade art trade
Zutara for Riabhach
Launch newspaper and yearbook
Clear gallery
Artistic Schedule: 1h & 7 galleries
Our-Journey planning
aM planning
Still Life for Juli
Commish examples
Open commissions
Prepare classes

I have all my deadlines written out in a word document, and this is the order of things for now. Hopefully I can get everything done! I probably wont be online tomorrow because I will be rereading DH then doing artwork. :3

Catching up!

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:21:24 GMT

I decided that there are many things I wanted to accomplish and right now all I am doing is working at my to do list and piling on more work for the same things: work, pottershare, gift art, website projects...

Where did my time go? For artwork, photography, and my own projects? I will be 18 next month =) I need to smarten up if I want to get anywhere in life. I want to grow up without growing old... I want to know where I am going and I want a game plan. So this is it. If I cant do it this week, I will never be able to do it.

Some things I need to do this week...
~~Compile ads and~~
Launch newspaper and yearbook
Catch up in S&S for Fan Art Book Club
LMHG for Juli
Jade art trade
Zutara for Riabhach

Later on...
Clear gallery

Progress

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:59:24 GMT

PotterShare Day is being a total failure, nobody really showed up to the announcement... about 5 or 6 people...
Nobody participated in the speed collab either... but I think hunts or trivia went well. I will see later when ravyns notes me.

Now I am typing up all the newspaper articles for the launch today. I still want to meet my deadline. I will make up for PS Day throughout the week, I promise. But I really want this project out of the way first.

Currently working on:

Going home!

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:48:04 GMT

I am SO excited to be going home tomorrow! There are so many things available to me when I go back. I need to make a list before leaving and it will be so full of awesome...

For example, not having to get up for work or shut the light off for someone else to sleep means I can stay up later than I have been and keep working on PotterShare and art things I dont normally have the time to. I will be able to fully plan and complete my projects for the upcoming week. I can play some video games! I can read the books I have been wanting to read and reread Sense and Sensibility to catch up to the book club, Twilight, and rereading Deathly Hallows is vital to me since I want to do some DH anniversary event. :3 I havent had the guts to pick it up since last July... I have reread the first two chapters, and not in one sitting either, because they made me cry too much. xD How sad. Hopefully I am well over it now!

I will also have access to my clay! Before leaving I bought two new colors so I might come up with some idas to use them :3 and I would love to start a comic or manga during the summer. Also I want to get cracking on the Anime Trance project Mark and I came up with and havent stopped working on since... Though it has been hindering my PotterShare productivity.

Anyways, there are so so many things I will be able to do for me now, and once all that is done, I can go out and see my friends more, and maybe find a summer job! Oh, and I have to exercise too! I might just take up a daily walk jog or run... I have to lose the weight I have put on, and at home I am much less stressed and I eat properly! I should be able to drop down to my previous weight easily... but I want to drop below that by about 15 pounds. =) I only put on 3 pounds so I would have to lose about 20 throughout the next 2 months... not impossible! Wish me luck =D

Thank goodness for 4 months of summer, at least I still have two left even though I was here for two!

AX

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:21:27 GMT

Part of me wants some people to suffer greatly during their trip to AX. Oh, not my loffer, never. But those who rub it in your face and complain about having to cosplay for example. Or those who wont talk to you now that they have met people offline and will only talk to them. Yeah those people can suffer the wrath of the ananavenger.

Why?

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 04:53:18 GMT

Im home. Finally. For a week. All I got last time was a rushed 2 days. In a month... I got about 2 days. I get a week, plus some work, and for some reason... Im not feeling happy. Im actually pretty depressed right now. Like... I think I finally get to see the way Ive been living for the past month or so, and I realize there are issues in there that i should not and do not want to live with... This week will probably be very enlightening, though. And hopefully productive. I would like to go back to Montreal with little to no work left besides actual work. So I could finish my video games and books and do artwork when I feel like it... This summer was supposed to be dedicated to my art. I was supposed to go to California. Celebrate being 18. Remember this as the best summer ever.

So far, not so good.

Dont worry though. I will definitely be fine. I always am.

Finally.

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:49:20 GMT

I'm finally done translating the pages. Now I have to revise them all, have them checked tonight, and I'll be done with that stupid (but paying) contract. Therefore, a new to do list is in order! I don't have much left to do from yesterday's list.

Revise translations
~~Fibro week compiling for wrap-up~~
TDIP new layout (mainly Mark's job though)
GoldTech translation to French (not urgent)
Finalize and prepare Prefect meeting ideas then announce in journal
    ACN dual collab critique night
    Version 4 FFs (starting in 3 weeks)
    Classes (what classes, prepare basic text & assignment ideas, find people to host it)
    Trivia (find hosts, 1 per house)
    Extra activities (prepare hunts and caption contests, have 12 impromptu events weekly?)
Lalala. Yup.

Old stuff
Our-Journey planning
Prepare a schedule for catching up to the walk [2h20 7/458 miles]
Get details for personal house points ready
Set up badgers account on dA
Hidden Fandoms articles
Feature RDA
Yearbook
PS website layout
LM/HG for Juli
Art trade for Jade
Zutara for Riabhach

[EDIT] They brought our contract down to $900 >_< But it couldve been lower still, based on the other company they called... 550 website and 150 logo. They gave 650 website, 150 logo and 100 translation. >_>

And the TDIP translations can be finished soon... it doesnt matter. No pay until end of July, beginning of August, most likely. =| ... With $650 in my wallet, I cant afford my trip. I am $60 short. Goodbye California... TT__TT

[EDIT2] I see a possible solution... No AX. Or somehow not staying in a hotel that costs over $125 a night 8D Without AX, the trip is a lot cheaper... but... Its also a lot more boring. ._.

Stressful Sunday

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:38:38 GMT

Contracts coming to an end

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:41:52 GMT

We just had a meeting to confirm the price of the website for MS Vocal, and we settled at $2000! This means that after taxes and splitting, Mark and I have $700 each. I'm getting $700 to myself as well next week for the French translation of TDIP's website, which I hope to be done by Monday or Tuesday, and I also have about $200 in my wallet at the moment. That means by the end of next week, once all my checks are in, I'll have $1600! =D I'm excited!

Also, since we got more time for the translations, I'll be able to do my Fan Art week things <3 collabs and features and maybe a small contest if I can whip one up fast enough. xD

YAY!

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:23:44 GMT

I finally got to come home for a couple of days! =D
I leave tomorrow morning for Montreal again. But I am much more relaxed now.
I got some kind of hairspray from Garnier that makes your hair curly. Because $5 means 30 minutes of sleeping in every morning! It's worth it =D

ALSO! Big news, especially for my secret loffer, is that I found a way to get to California for $300 cheaper! YEAH! Now I can definitely go, no matter what.

Instead of leaving from Montreal, we will be leaving from Burlington, VT. Prices start at about $300 instead of $615 to fly into LAX. My stepmom is going to drive Mark & I there. If she can't, the bus is only like $60 from Montreal. I might be able to get it from Sherbrooke for even cheaper still, I'll check that out in 2 weeks when I come back. <333

I'm so happy! Also, I made $210 from the Marjo Piercing website =D And I will get $350 off the $1000 Mark and I will be paid for MS Vocal this week, as well as $700 to myself for translating TDIP to French by Friday. That means by the end of the week I should have about $1250. I'll put $500 in the bank for the trip to California ($320 plane, $65 AX, $60 bus, and some extra), pay Mark back $200 (he owes me $20 so... Ill deduct it off the 220 I owe him) and have $550 left.

I got my teeth checked today, all is alright, got my retainer adjusted. I didn't get yelled at too much for my teeth going a bit inwards... they're still functional so no braces or adjustments. I went to buy contact lenses, but my check-up was due in July, so I did that today as well. Went from -6.25 to -7.50 >_< *cries* My eye sight is so bad. That doctor was a butthead too. "Which is better? First or second?" "I dunno... both are bad... it depends..." "Well make up your mind!" ">_> wahhh"

xD And I have to be up early tomorrow, like 7am, so I can go to school get my grades sorted out and drop off Mark's CD to Molson building before leaving for Montreal for lunchtime pizza omg this sentence has no breaks. *breathes*

Now I gotta translate or I'll get scoldeded.

Harro! :3

I know people know me around the internet a fair bit, and I guess I just wanted somewhere to post blogs without worrying about what Im saying in them... and to stalk Juli of course. xD <3

We finished the MS Vocal contract yesterday, but there are small mistakes in the french translation (I did it at midnight, gimme a break >_>). The next contract is GoldTech Consultings website. They want Flash and such in it, so its starting at a base price of 2000, since we are working at 1k per week. MSV pays us about 1k next week. The big contract we got needs to have 13 pages translated to French by next week and will also give us $1000. Its a good start. Then we have to set up email and transaction capabilities and turn it into a white label website... and then we get all the profits, at $40 a member, currently 81 members, a year. And we are looking at a million dollar contract and up. Its overwhelming, but Im excited. Just a little upset that a lot of the money we make is being taken away by taxes, then rent when we move here is $800 a month, and we have to get an office for a few hundred more as well... not to mention its a lot of work, and we get little sleep. Its very demanding. I miss having a bit of free time and sleeping time... and I miss home.
