End of the Term Update

[Insert Random Pic Here]

*Seriously..... do it*




Finally, the term has ended. *Actually, it ended the beginning of this month for me*

After waiting for a few days, my grades were finally posted online. I was surprised and not surprised at the same time. I thought this term was actually quite productive for me, but when the end drew closer, I felt my procrastination during the term slowly start to creep up on me. Ultimately, I got the grades I thought I deserved:

Geology 101: B- *I can never look at a rock the same way again o___o*

Lifetime Wellness:
C *If I had actually done my portfolio and finished one of the projects, I would have gotten an A in this class. Damn you procrastination!!*

Japanese IV:
A *Ok, I admit, I don't deserve this grade b/c the class was so easy to me. The only hard part was the 5 essays we had to do :/*


Overall, it was a good quarter. The C kind of hurt my GPA a little, but if I can manage at least 2 more A's or B's next term, I'll be good.

Next term, I'll be taking:
  • Environmental Science *My last science class*

  • Class Piano I *because I figured it was time for something different*

  • Japanese V *Just because XD*
I think I can manage a good grade in all those classes, but we'll just have to wait and see. It will be my last term at SPS and I can't wait for it to be over. It's been good, it's been bad, it's been so- so. I just want to be done so I can move on.

Anyways, I'll have a few movie reviews in my next post, so stay tuned for that.

Until next time.

またよ。

Happy December!

So, this week is cram week for me. It means I need to be working on all the projects and tests that are due this week. On top of that, I work till 9pm every night till Friday. :/ It will be quite a challenge.

After this week, I'll only have my Geology test on Friday. Then... no more school for the rest of the month. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Like I stated in my last post, I think, I'm not traveling this Christmas. I guess it's a good and bad thing. It's nice that I get to travel, but every so often, I just need to chill at home. I really hope I don't have to work on Christmas Eve though.

Another thing about December... It's Planning Month!! :D Basically, this means, I'll be working on plans for all vacations this year from this month till June. I'm already working on saving some extra money on the side for Spring/ Summer trips. Oh the places to go...

Anyways, I need to stop stalling and actually start working on my projects. Until next time *most likely next week*

Later!

It's that time already?

Happy Turkey Day!!!

So, I imagine it's time for an update, yes?

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. It doesn't feel like I've done anything news worthy to post on here. So, I'll just give some minor updates as to what's happened between 10/04 and now:

- Cut back on my gaming and have tried to give myself more time for sleep.

- Spent the day in Seattle with the Japanese club going to random places and seeing a few sites.

- Became a Service Desk Associate *which apparently, is a step up from cashiering?*

- Have tried to save money for future ventures *Still trying*

- Went to a new Sushi kaiten that opened up near my workplace. It's actually pretty good.

- I've got only a few days left before all the deadlines come crashing down on me... :/

It's been a busy quarter, but I'll soon be done with school here. Hopefully, I'll be in another school soon after so I can up and move out. Getting harder to pay the utilities in the house when you're the only sibling who is earning any kind of income :/

As strange as it is to me, this is the first Winter Break where I won't be doing any major traveling. *Last year, PA, the year before, Canada, and so on* I'm actually a little confused as to how I will be spending this holiday.

Anyways, I think that's all I have for now. So, until next time!

This and all the other junk

So, here's a small of update of what's been going on lately, plus a side story of what happened yesterday:

- School starts next week for me. I'm happy that it's finally starting up again, but at the same time, who wants to go to school? XD

The classes I'm taking this term are:

GEOL 101: Intro to Geology *I needed a science class and this was pretty much it :/*

PE 180: Lifetime wellness *Elective credit*

JAPN 221: Japanese 4 *Trying to raise my GPA XD*


Nothing too great or special. :/

- As far as work goes, I kind of got my wish of moving to a different dept. I'm still technically a cashier, but now I work at the service desk. It's a little better, but it still sucks b/c I'm essentially the only one in the store, at times, that knows what to do there. It really sucks when it comes to getting my breaks and lunches on time. :/



Now that we have that out of the way, here's a little story about what happened yesterday:

So, I woke up around 1pm and started gaming around 2 *b/c it's my day off and I have nothing better to do XD* This is pretty much what I've been doing the whole day, so I had no intention of going out. Around 8pm, I got a call from my classmates *I call them that b/c that's exactly what they are; nothing more, nothing less* asking if I wanted to go with them to the beach. I must have been really bored b/c for some reason, I actually agreed. They wanted to meet up around 3am so we could make it to the coast. *From where I am, it's actually pretty damn far to get to the coast + they wanted to see the sunrise ><*

First, I had to drive out my way for an hour to pick them up b/c they couldn't drive. Then, we got lost on the back roads of Olympia. When we finally got on the highway, we had been driving for about 2 hrs already. Driving to the coast took almost 3 hours. There were so many country roads that I seriously thought I was going the wrong way half the time. And don't get me wrong, I like WA's scenery, but when you drive through it once, you've basically seen it all. That's pretty much how I felt as I tried my best not to find a way to kill myself while figuring out where the hell I was going. After many hours, we finally got to the coast. However...

... yeah. That's what WA's beaches basically look like. I really shouldn't have been surprised, but it just felt that this was not worth the 3+ hour drive to get there. It was rainy, cold, foggy and pointless. I was seriously at a loss of words. I was so pissed off, but I felt like I deserved it b/c I just had a feeling that something like this would happen. We stayed there for a total of 20 minutes before I threatened to leave them stranded there.

Then, it was another 3+ hours to get back. In total, I left my house at 4am and came back at 11am. It didn't end there though. I tried to sleep, but could only manage to get 2 hrs. ><

So... I've been awake, essentially for the past 2 days on only 2 hours of sleep...

Just a reminder that something like this is not going to happen again........................soon.

Well, I'm going to try and crash for a little while, so until next time.

Basically what the post says is that Eiji and the other members from both his bands *Codomo A and Kibouya Honpo* were unaware that UNDERCODE is re-releasing a "best of" album of the bands. Some may not find this a problem, but it is. It means you're supporting the label they use to be under and not the bands or members. I suppose if you were a die hard fan of UNDERCODE, then it would be acceptable to purchase this, but for me, my money will go else where...








...The new アジカン singles and album that are coming out. Have you preordered them yet? WELL?! HAVE YOU?!?!?! XD

毎日毎日の憂鬱

*For those who understand this reference, we all know who the true victor is... ;D*

Well, this is not a picture post. *I'm saving that for Saturday so stay tuned!* Rather, it's just a small update post. *I promise, its not that long.*

I haven't been doing much online because of two things: Work and getting back into gaming.

Work- For the past 2 weeks, I have been working the steady Mon.-Fri. 2pm-10:30 shift. It... sucks... Not because of my time, but b/c I'm always closing at Returns. >< However, after my 4 day weekend *yes, they've decided to finally cut my hours again* I'll be working in a few different places. Still... I work the closing shift... *deep sigh*

Gaming- When I'm not at work, this is what I'm doing. Ever since I started getting back into gaming, it feels like that's what's been taking up most of my time. Hell.... what else is there to do here? I think that this will take up a huge chunk of my "mini holiday".

Anything else that's new with me? No. Simplest answer. Nothing new really. Same old suck as usual. Oh.... OH! There was one thing new.

I bought SPACED the series on DVD finally! Ever since I saw the commercial that they were finally importing it to the US, I had been waiting for it. I think I've watched it numerous times now. XD If you haven't seen it yet, you must! It's that awesome. I think there are still some clips on youtube...

Until next time *most likely Saturday*, Later.
