Abingdon Boys School - STRENGTH [PV]

FINALLY! Another song from TM's band. I had almost forgotten about them until I ran across this song in a music forum. Apparently, it's being used as the new Soul Eater ending *I say "apparently" because I've pretty much stopped watching anime all together, so I'm not really up to date anymore :P*, and I have to admit, it's pretty good. The main thing I love about the song is the classical piano they've mixed in with it. It gives it more attitude and meaning. The only con is the randomness that occasionally just popped out of nowhere and the setting. Other than that, I liked the song and the PV.

Rating = ★★★★½

本当に．．．

Happy V-Day
:P

... Hope seems further.

*Wow.... I can't believe it's been 2 years already... something seems seriously wrong...*

On Feb. 2nd, I had officially been working at The Home Depot for two years. The year seemed to end so quickly for me. It's an awesome, yet extremely depressing feeling.

Who would have thought I'd be here that long. I certainly didn't. XD

Even though I get paid way more than I ever thought I would be getting paid as a PT employee, my hours have been horribly dropped to the bare minimum. It really sucks.

I'm still working on saving up money for the Summer and so on.

Since I work pretty much only 3 days a week now, I think I might take a road trip one of these days, just for the hell of it....

Anyways, I'm just waiting for school to end. The quarter is halfway done, which means, I'm halfway done with school. I can't wait to get away from this school. I just want my degree so I can GTHO of here. hahahaha

Aside from that, there really isn't anything new.

So, until next time!

As the Horizon Draws Closer...

*Is it natural that I have a small panic attacks when I hear about any updates about this...... DEMO FOR 360 TOMORROW!!!!!!1!!1! *

---

Sorry for the lack of updates the past few days. It's not like I've been busy. I just haven't had any new updates really. : P

- Pre-ordered Resident Evil 5 for the 360 today. It was an awesome moment. Can't wait to get it. Apparently, you get this game cell with the order as well, so I'm really looking forward to that as well.

- School has been a mixed bag of fun. I only have two classes and they're actually pretty easy. Environmental Science doesn't seem too bad and I'm actually enjoying Piano. I have a song that I want to learn how to play, but I think that I have to study a lot more before I'm able to do it. :/ I'm kind of impatient though hahaha.

- Work has been equally "fun". I got a raise *Yay!*, but my hours have been cut down to 20 X# It really sucks.

- In about 6 more days, my 2 year anniversary at the Depot will be here. I have to admit; I'm both ecstatic, but horribly depressed. It's amazing that I've managed to hold a job this long, but I never imagined it would be here. .__.

Aside from that, there's really nothing new. I can't wait till this term is over. I'll be done with school here and hopefully, with this place.

Even though I've somewhat grown attached here, I can't shake the feeling that I was meant to travel. So that's something I plan to do. But, that's a topic for another post..

Until next time!

And so it begins again

*This giant instrument statue at the Seattle Music Experience. Pretty awesome overall*

Looks like school starts again for me tomorrow.

I decided to cut some corners this term and just take two classes, instead of three.

And to go a little bit more in depth, I've decided to drop Japanese. :/

It's not necessarily a choice I wanted to make, but facing the options in front of me, I decided that this was probably the best route.

Japanese class was ok. For the last two terms, I've just kind of been sitting there and staring at the wall, but it was still ok.

Seeing as how this is my last term at this college, I kind of wanted it to be more laid back and fun. Will I regret dropping this class? Perhaps.

I have not intention of dropping this language of course. I'll still be doing my independent studying. Sometimes I felt like I was learning more by myself than in the class :/

Plus, when I move onto my next college, I intend to take more Japanese classes as well.

I guess that's the first step in for 2009 : P

明けましておめでとう！

*It actually snowed quite a bit during this vacation*

It's been quite an interesting year. Looking back on it, I thought the year went by pretty quickly actually. This year had as many positives as it did negatives. This year may not have had the biggest changes, but it definitely had a lot of events.

• This is technically the last year that I'll be attending SPS
  
  
• I managed to save enough money to go on my Summer trip back to Japan
  
  
• Same job, different position. Happy 2 years at the Depot to me. : PA
  
  
• My CA trip was much shorter this time around, but I'm definitely working on fixing that for next time
  
  
• My time in the President position at the club I'm in is finally winding down. It's a great relief, but at the same time, a little saddening.

Another year has passed... but I predict that this year will be the year of change for me. I'm hesitant, but looking forward to it. I'm ready to take on anything and everything this year throws at me. I can definitely sense that this year won't be boring... at least for the most part hahaha.

Until Next time.

Happy New Year!

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。

１２月おめでとう！

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!!!

The Calm before...

*Downtown Seattle*

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!
