courses...

Currently am trying to occupy my time with an activity deemed worthy. That being...course selection and timetabling.

AHHHH !! So much...friggin choices and things to keep in mind. Like which term it's in, what's the prereqs, what's the times...holy shit.

This is so stressful. If I can, I want to pick something without tuts.

Guhhhhhhh

Blue and Tamiko convo

_"Do I seem childish to you? Do you get the impression that I am naive or unaware?"
_Her eyes were piercing. I got lost in a gaze of greens, browns, and tinted yellows, that were alive and dancing with intensity. Answers; always searching and coaxing for information. Those eyes wanted everything and I knew it. In that sense, she was childish, but at the same time there was a powerful, almost wise, force that drove her forward. Somewhere deep within, I knew, Tamiko held a purpose that pushed her towards a goal that only she saw. It was far, beyond all our simple thoughts, shooting past even Anthony's. Perhaps even there within that gaze visions of a far off world fueled her flame. It gave her a beauty that no one else in the deadly cold-blue could ever maintain.
_The corners of her lips came up and she flashed her gaze to the others lounging, eating the steamed vegetables slowly and with care.
_"Obviously not." She was looking at me again, arms crossed and her untouched food left to cool beside her thigh.
_"No," I responded, shoving a carrot into my mouth. I hated carrots, but I was so hungry I didn't care. "Not really."
_"Then why warn me? I know what I'm doing. You should be more concerened with your own affairs."
_My hand froze halfway to lifting a fork to my mouth. "With Jack?"
_"With the King, yes. You think he's just going to forget your promise?"
_Thoughts ran ahead of me and scattered, mapping out a picture of memories. They floated around until finally I spotted the one that held which promise she meant.
_"Oh, right. Yeah, so?"
_Her brow furrowed in amusement. "You're not concerned? You do know who you're dealing with, don't you?"
_"I know enough, and I don't really care. Better things to worry about."
_"Like a past that's suddenly deciding to bite you in the ass?"
_We locked challanging gazes for a moment. "Yeah, like that."
_She smiled. "Well, just so you know. Jack's promises last forever. In his mind, he owns this place. He owns everything that the cold-blue touches."
_My head perked up. "Cold-blue? He's mentioned that before, what is it?"
_Her eyes lowered for a moment, long lashes almost touching her cheeks. "It's...a word he made," she mumbled, and then her eyes were back to mine again, intent and knowledgable, "And I think you already know what it is."
_Slowly I chewed a cucumber, is dull juices surprised my mind that thought there should be the evident taste of salt. Unconsciously my mind worked with this, while at the same time I tried to gather what she meant. She was right, I knew what cold-blue was, I had known for a long time. And I was a part of it, if anyone could say what cold-blue was, then it was me.
