finals

I must say, I dislike this time of year. I have finals next week and it’s overwhelming and stressful and just annoying. I’ll be soo relieved when it is all over.

So, I am sure you have all heard of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. I can’t even imagine what those people are going through. Southern California had a 4.3 earthquake at about 4am this morning. I freaked out, but that’s nothing to what Haiti was hit with so, if possible donate.

Updates:
2 new wallpapers.

I also re-did the scans section. I separated it into three sections and added some new scans to the material section.

New affiliate, Laney
Check out her site, it’s great.

Update!

I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out my username and password combination for Fanupdate. I had it right but I didn’t realize that the username is case sensitive and my iPod kept automatically capitalizing it. Really, I should just use te same password and I would have these kinds of problems.

I am also having some issues renewing my domain name. I got an email saying it expires but I am not able to access the site to renew it. If the site is down, that will probably be the reason.

I am currently on winter break, I have one more week. I got an external hard drive for christmas. I was happy since I desperately needed one. My computer was seriously completly out of space. I have transfered all my files and while doing so, I noticed that I start so many things on photoshop like wallpapers and icons but just never finish. Well I decided to finish some of these projects—finally. Today I finished an icon tutorial.

You can find it here

I am also working on 2 wallpapers, so expect those the next couple of days.
I hope you all had a good holiday, whether it be Christmas or Boxing Day.

senior year

julie@splashofcolor.org (Splash of Color) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:23:00 -0500

It seems like forever, that i get on the computer to do something other than homework. Actually, my computer has been acting up so i just try not to turn it on but since my dad is gone for a couple months ive been stealing his laptop and using that lately.

School started 3 weeks ago, and it is pretty busy. My schedule is not as difficult and time consuming as last year, but still requires work.

0 period—English
1^st period—AP Statistics
2^nd period—ASB (Student Government)
3^rd period—AP Government
4^th period—AVID
5^th period—Student Tutor
and i have no 6^th period.

So far, it hasnt been that bad. Ive been keeping up with homework. Stats is giving me so issues, quizzes are not my friend at the moment.

It is Senior year, at I am just trying to have as much fun as possible while still doing well in school. In a year, everything will be so different.

In regards to the site, i am not really sure what i want to do with it. I paid for hosting for two year, and this December will be a year. Maybe i will turn it into a blog but that sounds too boring. I just want to make use of it. So you should apply for hosting and ill love you forever, i have space that i will not use but some one might as well take advantage of it.

This weekend = new layout
How is everyone?

so long sweet summer

I pretty much have two weeks of summer left, and then i start Senior year. It is scary and exciting at the same time. Scary, because of college of applications and exciting because its my last year and then i’m out of this boring town

I have tried to enjoy summer, which is why i did not spend as much time on the computer in comparison to past year. Since my last update i have:
- Attended a Coldplay concert
- Spent the day at Soak City
- hated the weather in Hemet
- reached 3,000 songs on my iPod
- watched season 1 of Lost
- done way too much homework for it being summer
- stayed up till 5am
- made a twitter
- finished drivers ed
& that’s about it.
Just some random information.

I am trying to make the most of the next two weeks, which include going to the beach for the first time this summer and celebrating my 17^th birthday on the 17^th.

How is everyone’s summer?

i passed!

julie@splashofcolor.org (Splash of Color) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:34:00 -0500

I passed my AP Exams! I received my scores yesterday and was surprised. I was worried that i had not passed English because I struggled during the year and it was not looking good. I got a 3 in English and a 4 in US History, the max is a 5. I am just really glad that taking the class and studying, preparing and having no life due to preparing for those two test actually paid off and i received the college credit.

I have updates this time.
1 new icon tutorial

go to the tutorial

8 new gossip girl icons

more

My creativity needs to come back so that i can post some wallpapers.

Thats all for now

Summer :)

I know it’s been over a month that I update. I guess you can say that I’ve neglected the site but now that it’s summer things will be different. For starters I did add a new layout which I like because it feels summer-y. I really don’t have any other updates just yet. I have been workig on some stuff but I’d rather post it when it’s more than just 5 icons.

Today I ran for the first time in months. Instead of running to get exercise i’ve been doing yoga On the wii fit which I enjoy but today I chose to run. A friend and I ran about 6 miles. We ran to my boyfriends house which is about 3 miles away and he was sleeping so I decided to wake him up. Surprisingly he wasn’t annoyed that he was woken up around 10, which is not even early. It felt good, but tiring, to run especially that much since I’m not much of a runner.

I got out of school a week and a half ago and I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about test or homework. I do have summer work for AP classes but I should get that done by end of July. Are you on vacation?

Affies: I know I haven’t been in contact. Sorry, but that will change.

I should get some sleep. I get SAT Subject Test results tomorow, kind of nervous.

Almost there

Finally done with AP Test and SAT’s. School has been ahhh. At least, in 3 weeks by Junior year will be finish. You have no idea how relieved i will be. It has been really stressful and i can’t wait till i can finally use photoshop on a regular basis and actually blog.

I updated.
One new icon tutorial—here

One new wallpaper—

3 day weekend, hope you all have a good one.

6 more weeks

julie@splashofcolor.org (Splash of Color) — Tue, 05 May 2009 10:48:51 -0500

I’m sitting in ceramics thinking about what to do for my next project, but nothing is coming to mind.
School has been pretty crazy lately. I have the US History AP test friday, and the English Language on monday. I find it a bit crazy. I’ve been preparing all year your this and its here.
I took the SAT on Saturday, and it didn’t feel as long as I thought it was. Especially considering its 4 hours.
Since schol has pretty much been been taking up all my time, I haven’t had much time to do much else. Good news is that 6 more week until summer. And it is starting to feel like summer too. I woke up and then sun was warm for once. I like it.
I’ve made a few icons here and there. I did write an icon tutorial, but since I’m on my phone, ill post it when I get home. Hope you are all well

im finally back

julie@splashofcolor.org (Splash of Color) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:22:52 -0500

Its been about a month that i update but at least i am updating now.

I spent this whole week doing just about nothing. My Spring Break is coming to an end and i really wish it wasn’t. Not being at school this week just made me realize how much summer needs to be here, like now, or at least soon. I’ll just be happy once AP test are over. One more month.

I did add a new layout and i tried something new with this one. Ive always had a sidebar because it feels weird not to have one. This time its not really a sidebar, but a top bar. I like it because it is less cluttered and i tried something new, for once. I also created a new layout (finally). Overall i like it, because its simple and colorful.

Oh, and i added 13 (or so) new lost icons. That’s my latest obsession

As you might have noticed, i got rid of cutenews. The spam was getting ridiculous. Thank you Mia for sending me to FanUpdate files. This is like 100 times better than cutenews. No doubt about it.

Some of my affiliate links seem to be broken, i dont know if its because the site is down or i just missed the memo about updating the link. So let me know if i need to update your link.

I’ll try to update regularly now, i might as well since i paid for the domain.
