I have confirmed what I am doing for next semester. I am staying in the Bay Area, going to the Academy of Art University in SF, majoring in cinema with a concentration in editing. W00t!!!
Long, gruelling argument with parents last night regarding where I was going to be living relative to the university. Or, actually, regarding whether or not they could dictate where I can live since they are supporting me. Basically, I want my life to be my life on my terms, which means I'm going to probably have to find a way to do this whole school thing without them supporting me.
So I called my sister. Because my sister is wise and she understands my parents and she also got cut off from their money when she was in college and she was going to MIT, which is about three times as expensive as the place I'm going to. She's done all this before.
So I will find a way to make this work.
As you can all imagine, I am feeling a lot of stress right now. Stress means therapy. Therapy means mind numbing busywork and staring at pretty things. I have a new LJ layout. Look! See! I like it. It is shiny.The graphic is my favorite shot of Weir (1x19 "The Siege I"). I figured out how to play with levels and curves (in addition to all the other stuff I'd learned earlier like gradients and auto-contrast and color balance and shifting hue and sharpen and layers and opacity, etcetera). Though, really, the most annoying and tedious thing was getting a color scheme that worked with the picture.
Note: I don't actually ship Zelenka/Weir. I like Weir/Ronon and Weir/Caldwell. The fact that Zelenka is in the shot is pure coincidence.
