Updates and a thing.

This account is so dusty I could make a veil out of it. Maybe. At least I can't make a coat out of it.

My odd digressions aside, this is what has happened-

College. Finally moved in- greetings from Washington University in Saint Louis!

...okay, that was over a month late. I'm a terrible person. To anyone who cares about the details, this is my schedule:

General Chemistry aka quantum physics with some chemistry thrown in
General Chemistry Lab
Freshman Seminar in the Chemical Sciences
MedPrep
Introduction to Psychology
Calculus II
Art of Poetry (yay!)

So much chemistry. So much. Though my inactivity here is, to be honest, due more to my chronic talking-to-people paralysis than my workload (though I do have two tests next week and why am I here).

In other news, Guild Wars 2 is beautiful. There're many minute details packed into every corner of the world- it's unlike any other game I've ever played in that I can spend a good amount of time just walking around, listening to the NPCs talk and taking in the scenery. I've decided to take time off from playing it in order to focus on my artwork, though. Which seems so far to be influenced by some of GW2's art, notably this one. Don't stop there, though. Do take a look at some of the other pieces they have here. And here.

Finally... in order to get myself more active here, I'm going to start writing poetry analyses/close readings each week. I'm not much of a poet, nor am I much of a critic, but I believe strongly that the key to writing poetry well is reading it well- reading many different styles, from many different poets, and understanding how their poems are put together. There's far more to a good poem than a rhyme and a metaphor or two. The poems I pick will not be from deviantART, but from known/published poets (some fringe poets as well as Frost, Williams, Keats, and so forth), though I do plan on doing some dA poetry features sometime.

That's... pretty much it. My apologies again for vanishing- I really do need to fix that...
