Well that was a bombshell. XD;
Feb. 20th, 2013 12:50 amLiz and Joyce were asking about people taking over Otaku Culture Club next year since they're graduating, and Laura volunteered if no one steps up. Liz said as long as Laura agrees to be Trans* Parachute United's treasurer. Laura then asked about me, and Liz said they'd like me to be PRESIDENT of T*PU.
So, uh, looks like I get to run a club next year, guys.
Well, this'll be good for me. Leadership's never been something I've really gone after, so maybe taking the lead on something important to me will do me some good. Liz promised they'd help me out and that I could Skype with them if I need advice. I'm really more worried that we won't have a lot of people showing up for meetings. AWoL gets lots of people showing up (although less this semester, it seems--we had to move the meeting time back two hours because one of the officers has a class and couldn't make 7pm anymore), but T*PU has always been kind of tiny, at least since I've been at Juniata. And with most (all?) of the trans people I know leaving... haha, next Lobsterfest should be fun, sitting at the table and trying to get new members! We'll see what happens. I'm ready for the challenge.
Also, completely unrelated, we just watched the craziest frickin' anime in OCC. Like, it starts off looking kind of normal, with a couple weird things, and then all of a sudden all you can in response to what's happening is "WHAT?" SO much laughter. We were all dying. It's called Jinrui wa Suitaishimashita (Humanity has Declined). It's on Crunchyroll.
Migraine's definitely back! I had one yesterday and took the second dose of Excedrin Migraine that Health & Wellness gave me the first week of classes, and now that it's like two hours past the time I took it yesterday, I'm feeling achy again. You know how some people have auras before their migraine hits? I think neck pain is my "aura". I always get pain in my neck or shoulders and then the headache. And I know it's not the way I'm sleeping.
I worked on editing my audio essay today. Still need the interview from Liz about dysphoria, and I'll probably ask people what their definition of gender is, just to have some other voices other than mine in the stupid thing. I hate my voice with a fiery passion. I wish I could get someone else to narrate. I don't even want to go to class on Thursday, I don't want to see everyone's reactions listening to it! I gave them a vague idea of what it's about and I don't think they were sure what to think of it, but I really didn't explain much: I didn't sleep well last night at all (yay, nightmares) and my words weren't working today. Hoping it goes well on Thursday and I get some positive feedback and maybe even some "hey, I never heard of that before, it was interesting". I'm probably gonna need to rerecord some stuff I said, and I might cut some stuff out. I dunno. I mainly just spent time cutting up my narration and adding music. We're using GarageBand on our iPads to record and edit, but I didn't want to be tied down to the iPad (or even a Mac system). You can't export the project file and keep the individual tracks separate, so I got around it by saving each track as its own file and then opening them all in Audacity. It was either that, or have to go to the computer lab all the way across campus to work on it, and with having to still go to the studio to finish up there, ain't nobody got time for that.
Speaking of the studio, Bethany dropped the number of vessels by three. We now have to complete twelve. It's not MUCH of a drop (I was really hoping for ten), but it'll definitely help. Right now I have five or six vessels that are definitely lidded, two that I can hand-build lids for, and then I can try to throw a few quick things and dry them immediately so I can trim the rough edges off. They have to be DONE by Thursday, including refinements, so tomorrow's my last opportunity. I might end up having to stay late, going to AWoL and then going BACK to the studio... and then I'll probably still have to edit the audio essay. It'll be a long day and night.
Turning this thing off now. I hurt. :\ Might go back to Health & Wellness on Thursday if this keeps up.
