While I was waiting for something to happen, and I had a large amount of things on my desk, I decided to just put them together and ended up making two little people, heh. I am not sure if this should even be put in "project logs", so please move this thread if needed!
It is incredibly difficult to solder 0402 leds onto tiny copper solid core wires without causing the led on the other end of the led to desolder. Another challange is soldering on that super thin copper wire to the smd leds, you sometimes can't even see the tiny wire! :P
Thank god for my makeshift "loupe" which is basically a camera lens backwards, I used it to make pictures in my previous post.

Thanks guys! :P
I still need to connect the wires for each led into a breadboard, put some more leds on the breadboard, and write something on a piece of paper for these two guys to hold. Their "Eyes" will light up! :P

Thanks ian :)
Turns out I put one of the leds in reverse on the "eyes" and I really don't want to muck around to switch the led around. Soldering the leds took quite a while), so I am leaving this as is for now.
And, in my college, I don't even really have midterms, I am taking introductory classes so they are all incredibly easy. I still have not bought textbooks for two of my classes because I am cheap, and I am flying by in them. Horray for saving money! Though, other classes do take more effort even with a textbook, which is taking up some time. :(
