Waltzing is going along pretty awesomely, actually. We've almost figured out the entire song, we've only got a good 40 seconds left of the 5 minutes. I got my silver heels to waltz in, too, which was awesome because they were on sale and extremely cute.
Hip Hip is not as fun for me, because I feel like I'm the only one not quite grasping the moves. That and I get shifted near the front a lot because of my partner. DAMN IT DARREN. >:T nah jk he's a good kid. We decorated our tshirts the other day and it was so much fun~ except mine came out looking like crap so I really wanna fix it lol.
I still need to buy my black shoes for the hip hop dance, and have my friend drop off her hoodie for me to borrow, and I'm waiting on my dress for the waltz, but the seamstress is apparently working on them so yeah. We've got until April 16. This next weekend is going to be all waltzing for about 3 hours saturday and sunday, which isn't too bad. After that, we practice hip hop on saturday and modern on sunday... Then the 9th we practice hip hop from around 9-1 and then waltz from 1-5. i don't know how she expects us to survive but whatever. And then dress rehearsal on the 15th, with an extra runthrough on the 16th before the party. aaaaaah so nervous.
History is going well. :I We learned about Old Fritz the other day and seriously? the man was pretty awesome. during the war of austrian succession and etc omg. russia. xD;; But yeah. got an a- on my midterm, too. i don't study for this class and i don't do any of the readings (my dumbass got the wrong textbook. -____-;;). I just hope my research paper turns out well... Piaget is so boring. D: I mean, his theories are cool and all but i cannot read his books lol.
So, with the release of Dragon Age 2 not too long ago, I have found myself absolutely obsessed with it. ugh. So some of the characters did make appearances in the former games (Origins and Awakenings). For instance, Merrill is apparently part of the Dalish Tribe you travel with in the Dalish Elf origin. You actually have Anders as a companion in Awakenings. >u<
Speaking of which, al;ksdjfadslk ANDERS. AAAAH. Maker, I was sweet on that boy all through Awakenings. Adorably snarky and joking around. He makes such a drastic change from Awakenings in the second game, it's just... strange... not to mention the end of the game. ugh. BUT. Yeah. I ended up choosing him as my first love interest, because I was so damned sweet on him before, but he changed a lot. :\ I wasn't too happy with him by the end of it, but that's okay. He makes for a really sweet (if a bit creepy, I mean come on, there's no need to drown anyone in blood to keep a warrior safe, love) friendship romance. But the snarkiness is nonexistant by the third act... And that isn't all about the third act that pissed me off. >:I but i won't go into details.
Fenris is apparently a really sexy rival romance. haven't tried it yet. :T The friendship route is filled with innumerable amounts of puppy dog eyes. sob. i can't even. argh once i hit friendship with him, it was sad eyes everywhere and i couldn't say no. but it was like. every time i said something and got fp, all of a sudden something would happen and it would cancel out anyways, stupid bastard.
For lack of a better romance option, i'm thinking of going with isabela or merrill. the only problem with these two is one ditches you because of the qunari and the other is an obsessed blood mage (although i want to see where she goes with that eluvian). :I
Anyways, enough about the characters. The human character designs are epically sexy. I mean, damn Hawke. c: The dwarves don't look much different... but the elves? sobb. they look like... that movie, avatar, which i couldn't watch because they freaked me out so much with their eyes. i can't even.. no. ugh.alksdfja;lkdfjal;s so i was like holed up in the corner most of the time whenever i had to interact with elves. except for merrill and, surprisingly, zevran. ZEVRAN WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOUR FACE. he doesn't even look like an elf. :T also, qunari. hot damn.
Hmm. The storyline? nonexistant until halfway through the second act. So basically you spend the first half of the game with no real story (which pissed me off). Halfway through the second act is building up to the third act. The third act, half of it is basically fanning the flames, and then the last half is just OMG. >:C ASDLKFJA;LDKFJA;SDLKFJA;LSDFJKA;SLKDFJ yeah that ending. i hope hope hope hope hope that they come out with a third one. the way they left off? there's gotta be another one.
quests sucked. all sidequests with very very few main storyline quests. much shorter than origins, too. :\ fighting is fun, though, especially since i'm not playing onthe computer. i can just button mash my way through it, which is fun in itself, but i can also do combos and such. so far, i'm thinking the warrior class is more fun than rogues. i spent my origins games as a rogue. but the two-handed weapon warrior is very fun. I hear the mage class is fun, too, but that's for when i finish my second playthrough.
ANYWAYS, I TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS GAME.
Been trying to get my friends all on skype at the same time. isn't working. talked to my best male friend yesterday, though, had a nice long chat on skype, which was nice. <3 I miss him being close, but whatever. He seems to enjoy living in the middle of nowhere. xD
Stina's been having trouble... She called me crying the other day, and it's just been tough on her. I won't go into details because this is her business but argh. >:c
I won't even start on riya, except she's been pissing me off quite a bit. sigh.
My uncle is in the hospital again. They're keeping track of his "levels," which i'm not sure. platelets and hemoglobin and other stuff. he's also had an on and off fever. i think he's doing chemo again? i'm not sure. we've all been sick so we can't go visit him. i did go just before my family started getting sick, though, which i'm glad for. sigh.
but in between cotillion practices, school, and dragon age, it's just been busy.
