When I'm done procrastinating, I'll consider updating this more often. XDD
FINALLY! This term is at it's end. It was, to my surprise, actually interesting. As some of you may or may not have known, I was dropped from my original schedule *see a few posts back* and had to re-apply for new ones. This was probably a good mistake.
- Sociology, despite my lowering grade, was really interesting. Though there was no homework and very little interesting activities, the material was really interesting to read about. What I learned: Don't blame yourself. Blame society. XD
- Abnormal Psychology was equally, if not, more fun than Sociology, simply because of all the activities we did. Like the class above, there was no HW and your grade solely relied on tests, participation, and in-class assignments. Still, it was fun to learn about all these things that could be wrong with you. What I learned: I may seriously be f*ked up. ^-^
- Math in Society is exactly as it sounds. Math that you use in society. :/ It wasn't very fun, but there were some things that I had previously learned that definitely helped on some tests. Other than that, I felt that this class was a waste of air and time for me. *Which is probably why I skipped every other day. XD* What I learned: Uhmmm..... Compound interest? :|
Next week is finals week and I'm less than thrilled about it. Despite Soc. and Psyc. being interesting classes, the tests are something that you definitely need to study for. *Something I have yet to do* After that, I have a few weeks away from school *but not from work* then more school at the end of the month.
Work has been mixed for me. For some reason, the store decided to hire 7 new cashiers. That makes 17 cashiers in total. There's only about 6 working a day and the new hires are getting all the hours. I'm slowly losing hours and it's not cool. I'm starting to consider my options: 1.) Find more hours in another dept. *something that could happen*; 2.) Find a temp. second job *not easy with school in the way* 3.) most radical: Leave for another job that gives me more hours. <- Not too sure I want to do this yet, seeing as how it's got a good pay and my coworkers are cool to be around. We'll see though. When Spring really gets going, maybe the hours will get better...
Future plans: Well, as you might have heard, Pat and I have been planning a return trip to Japan ever since we moved back here to the US. XD We are starting to get the plans rolling now. Everything seems to be working out so far, with only minor, easy obstacles. We're heading up to the mainland *Japan, for people from Oki* for a good majority of June. Then, I'll be down in CA for the remainder of the month. Hopefully, everything will go according to plan. We've been working out dates, prices, and times for a little while, so we hope things will go smoothly. Definitely working on my Japanese again. Not as easy, as when I first learned it, but with a little review, some or most could come back. :)
Sakura Con is coming up at the end of the month. *If you're wondering why I'm bringing this up, I'll give you a little back story: Going with my Japanese Club. First convention. Just seeing what's there. Nothing else* As I prepare for that, I'm wondering if I should dress up. I was thinking as going as someone killed in Battle Royale. *Lots of cuts, lots of blood XD* Thoughts?
Taste of Chaos is next month as well. It'll be my first concert here in the US, so I'm definitely excited for that. A7X, atreyu, MUCC, and D'espairsRay = Awesomeness. *Plus, my jump the line passes will put me that much closer to MUCC* =D
Ajikan's new album is pure love. Every track is awesome. If you haven't heard of them or haven't heard this album, punch yourself! Then BUY IT AND ENJOY IT'S AWESOMENESS!!! NOW!!!!!

Okay, I'll do some reviews now:
Tekkon Kinkreet: Good movie. Kind of got lost half way through it. Very colorful. Kind of powerful. I think there was a moral, but I couldn't really pick up on it.
★★★★½ (Would be trippier if you were high. XD)
30 Days of Night: It followed the graphic novel pretty well. Seeing as how the actual comic is pretty short, I was pleased with some of the extra stuff they added into the movie. I wasn't to happy with how they changed up some characters and plot *it's supposed to move right into the next novel* but it was tolerable. Kind of happy I didn't watch it in the theaters now. :P
★★★½☆ (I wish they would have followed the story a bit closer for a sequel which, in my opinion, is actually better than the original :P)
The Prestige: A movie about magic that I had been wanting to see for a while, but forgot about. It has a good storyline, good characters and really good plot twists. *I caught the first one, but the last one definitely surprised me*
★★★★½ (Great twist on the world of magic)
Resident Evil: Extinction: I really did not have any high hopes for this movie since I had read up on it before watching it. Aside from the fact that a few key characters are missing without a good reason as to why, the story progresses fairly well and falls into the mold that this series has already made for itself. Nothing surprising. Very disappointing. Plus, there might be a sequel.... again. *sigh*
★★☆☆☆ (God.... not another sequel..... >_<)
Cloverfield: Well, I finally experienced the hype that I had been waiting for *back in Jan.* and it was kind of mixed really. It was good, but it meh at the same time. I say this because the more I reflect on it, the more I realize that I'm forgetting things about the movie. Only things that are sticking are the deaths and the monster *which I suppose is really the only good parts of the movie XD*
★★★★½ (Don't sit so close to the screen XDD)

Anyways, that's all I have to say for now. Until next time. じゃまたな．．．
