This was made for `Vlei's devMAP contest. Background colors are all dA authentic, all buttons are from their respective sites. The actual construction was scratchbuilt with Paint.NET (program name, not URL - if you want to check it out, go here!), a free-for-download image editor. Total time spent was about six hours.
If you don't get the Yellow Alien references, then maybe this is for you?
Nothing THAT interesting I'm a history major, was just a communication class that I really couldn't miss since my group had to present some project to the class. If I missed it I would have been bailing on all four members of my team, and I wasn't about to do that unless I had to.
D'aww - awesome AND noble! I'd say as far as the evils of education go, history is pretty damn interesting. (: Psychology girl myself, though I'm still in college (in England) - can't wait to get to university!
Psych major? Good lord, I wish you luck Psychology has always been one of my least favorite subjects. I'm not even sure why, I found a lot of what I studied to be interesting but simply couldn't retain any of it to save my life. Test time would come around and it's like BAM, all knowledge has been instantly sucked from my brain and ejected into the void.
I actually do like history, I found myself buried in English history for a small project I was doing for my fiction writing class just a week or so ago. I was taking a 1906 romantic drama poem and converting it to a ten page short story (this is the stupid kind of stuff I volunteer for; most people would run shrieking in terror from these things, I believe) and had to figure out what was going on in England in 1774 for basic background information. It's damn hard, with the American revolution occupying virtually all of the news for that entire decade. It took like half an hour to find a few things of note that weren't related to the war.
That reminds me, I need to go submit that story. Knew I forgot something.
