The Many Sides of MK

So, I guess I am a little late with posting this, but HEY 2011!

Yeah, so the lateness thing... hasnt changed. I am busy as normal... like hardcore.

This semester I think is going to be my most strenuous one yet. Why? I am splitting myself 15 different ways. I feel like i am 5 people all rolled up into one! So i guess a really extreme Gollum...with purple eye shadow and pigtails.... Pretty scary right?

MK: Student Side

Im still in Aerospace Engineering. it's pretty rough. I am having trouble with some classes. And Differential Equations sometimes really scares me. It is like learning another language but from a forign teacher with a serious language barrier. Trying Physics 2 again since i dropped it last semester. I have a fairly better professor this go around and i have a lot of friends in my class that will help with late night study sessions. I'm taking a programming course called "Visual Basics". After working with programming languages like Matlab and FORTran.... visual Basics, atm, is a walk through the park. Granted it could be because im actually being taught the *right* way.. instead of getting a project and told to go, even if we have never used the program before.... (happens all the time) I had to, sadly, drop the Intro to Science Fiction class. I was really enjoying it, but there was just not enough time to read everything to do well in the class. Maybe some other time :/ My Calculus IV class is... interesting. My teacher honestly reminds me of the Doctor from Doctor Who. I sometimes just want him to drop his chalk take my hand and run out the door to his tardis. (it's freakishly unncanny...he really does) But the overall class seems okay. better than DE.

So the school schedule kind of sucks already with the amount of extra work i have to put into the courses.

MK: Rocket Side

Sigh, Rocket Team. I am apart of the rocket team on campus. I love my teammates and they are all super fun and intelligent. I do feel like i am not putting much into the rocket at the moment. not from the lack of wanting to try. We have been working hard on the small scale rocket to get it built so we can start testing. Today the new members have to give a presentation about the rocket to the aerospace department. Im pretty nervous, but then again... my slides really arent too terribly complex.

MK: SCA Side

I have recently been authorized as a heavy fighter in the SCA. Im pretty excited about that. Some of you might wonder "what does this actually mean?!?" well it means that i have all of my own armor and can fight at events. (the things i disappear to on the weekends and call "camping") I am so excited about being able to fight now. I really do love it. Yeah I am not very good at it but i just like the action and adrynalyn of it all. I also love to talk about it with my fellow fighters. I like hearing their stories and i love to learn from them.

There is sooo much information that i am trying to remember when I fight. I know that I'd do better if i would just fight and just let the things ive learned rest at the ready... but i think being an engineer... it's pretty difficult to do that.

I have Turf Wars next weekend. About 40+ fighters were there last year. Turf Wars is where two kingdoms bring their fighters and have a war... i kind of am viewing it as a bigger war practice (Getting ready for Gulf Wars! HELL YEAH) We had a small war practice two weekends ago and with like 8 fighters it was already crazy intense. I feel like im going to get worn out by just walking out of line and back than actually fighting, but there should be some pick up fights that should be fun.


MK: Friend Side

Now, okay, i know im going to sounds like i might be complaining about how many friends i have, but that isnt what im getting at.

My friend List:
-SCA crew
-Aerobuddies (Noal edition)
-Aerobuddies (Alex edition)
-Aerobuddies (Lana edition)
-Theta Tau friends
-Lunch table friends
-other

Each one requires some of my time here and there. I love hanging out with each and everyone... but sometimes i feel like im neglecting some of my friendships because I do hang out with my SCA friends far more than anyone else... woops?!

MK: Gaming Side

Yeah... okay im not a gamer.. i think if you know me.. you know why. I get hardcore into my games... and well.. i just cant do them. But yes. I have started playing Dungeons and Dragons. I have always wanted to play and my sca friends invited me to join their campaign and so .. i did! it has been a lot of fun. I like my character and love the game in general.

MK: Cosplay/Makeup Side

I love makeup and costuming.

I have bee doing a lot of cosplay research recently for my 2011 cosplay. Grayscale Betty Boop and Scarlet Witch. Both of them are going to be very challenging. Can't wait to start on them though *squee*


MK: Work Side

Still the social media intern at the career center. I love the job.. wish i got more done.

MK: YouTube/Internet Side

Bottomline... im never on any more. i have 3 videos i want to do.. yet to even film one. and vlogtag.. i pretty much dont exist anymore. :/ sucks.



OKAY! So with all of the sides... im sure i missed one! you can see... im a busy lady.... I dont have time to really put into everything that i really enjoy and would like. School is of course a big priority.

i would say more but i have to look over slides for my presentation in an hour. but yeah. this semester... sucks.
