I gotta run to work reaalllly soon but I felt like updating this place. These past few days working usually I get down during work but I find myself really having fun now. It feels weird because me and a major group of the people working at my job act like we're a giant family and we're able to joke around and have a lot of fun now. :3 The biggest running joke is that I'm ~too young~ to hear about some of the stuff they talk about (which is sex or other random topics) yet my manager is only a year older than me, so we have a short conflict of me acting offended and another cashier saying she'll make it better and hugging me.

I got my permit again! I failed the first time but the lady at the counter said I could immediately retake it because the questions I failed on had just come into place and weren't that well known. I passed the second time and my driving test is in a few weeks! \o/ Hopefully I'll pass so I can drive myself to summer school instead of having to catch the bus four days out of the week to get there and die due to math over consumption.

School wise this semester has been hard for me because its not as challenging as the other one. :/ I don't know if this proves if I'm a masochist but if school doesn't challenge me, I automatically don't want to do the work so it will give me a challenge when I suddenly have to cram everything in a short space of time. I'm trying to fight the impulse to do that, but I think I'm failing. >:

I've left my old journals a long time ago yet people are still adding them. 6 6; Way to ignore the big graphics and text.

Anyway.

School started and I'm happy with a majority of the classes I got but not so much with my Criminal Justice class, the teacher seems so...flaky. I understand parents who have their kids as priority, I really do. But I think its a little ridiculous to stop us during the middle of a test to announce that since you're daughter called and she wants five dollars, class is canceled for the day. I'm happy that he warned us beforehand but still ?

SURPRISE! I'm alive! 8D!

Yea, account inactivity sucks but I think these past few weeks, I've been trying to catch up with missing a year's worth of gaming. 2008 sucked. Outside of meeting balfonheim and few other instances, that year was just...depression and overworking myself. Thank god that's over.

Next semester of school starts the week after next! This semester is a general finish stuff on the sheet to get an AA paper sooo I'm taking Cultural Anthropology, Criminal Justice, gym, Geography and attempting to force my way in petitioning for Human Sexuality 2. Strangely no History or English class semester, its still kind of strange to not see either of them there. Sadly I couldn't fit either type of class.

I'm half way done with my Requests, half I say, because everyone who requested something from me isn't just getting one icon per image. :/ Expect at least two or three per image, my problem is just finishing and finalizing these poor things.

Hauled ass in Persona 4, I enjoy the characters more than I did in Persona 3. To me they're more...realistic to how youth are now. The amount of swearing alone and how things are said that could mean double entrants and just how confusing life is at the time is totally my high school experience. Both games are dark in their own way, but having to face yourself literally is terrifying. :/ I love Kanji, the poor boy loves his 'girly' things and he gets shit from people. I would be his friend in heartbeat.

So. Midterms.

Needless to say I was a nervous wreck! This is my fourth semester here in college and this is the first time I've ever had a midterm, combined with a teacher who said he wasn't going to tell us anything about it and that we should just study everything we've gone over in the weeks, I was a nervous wreck. My English midterm was literally write four essays in an HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES. AN HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES AAKDFHA. I'll be devastated if I do bad on it since I got up at 2 in the morning to reread and go over stuff. I didn't finish it because there was literally no time to do it. I was barely into the third one and the teacher said we had five minutes with an extra five in case the next teacher didn't barge into the room. I love the subject to death but one of my classmates is pushing the button for me to kill him.

After that exam, I went out and played Super Smash Bros. Brawl trying to get away from the stress when on the way home I realized something: I have a night class. SO I rushed back to the campus and went into the room, guess what greeted me. Another midterm. X___x; I kind of got through that one because I remembered most of it, but one part of the damn css just wasn't working and I spent time trying to fix it and I ran out of time. :x I did 7 out of the 12 things on the checklist though?

Finally got to do my reminds for my communities, still need to talk to balfonheim about 100variations' new claiming thing and I need to put up results for dynast_lims. \o/ NaNoWriMo soon!

My ipod finally died and I think its trying to take my computer down with it. Like hell it will. D< The depressing thing is that the damn thing self erased itself, so now all I have is my Linkin Park until I buy another mp3 player and begin the slow recollection of everything. Ah Linkin Park ♥

I have a test in a few hours in math and I totally didn't realize it till now. XD; It's about exponents though and I remember most of it for the most part which is helpful.


....Anyone know where I can find random manga panels for any series at? 8D;

These past few days have been a whirlwind of activity for me both online but mostly offline. I finally got my butt in gear and read a majority of the things I needed to in English and did so many pages of notes it was ridiculous and the teacher noticed! The first person he called on today was me (I think he wanted to make an example out of me aka for people who don't know what they're doing) and he seemed surprised that I knew what he was talking about. And throughout the class I actually spoke my opinion and stuff and he said that he liked that I was finally speaking up. ♥

Went and saw Eagle Eye today, me and friend totally called it on who the main enemy was but it was entertaining none the less though the ending pissed me off. After that type of movie you'd think it would be a better ending then what it was. I liked some of the concepts in it though about the government but at the same time I was frowning at just how many deaths were in it. Not main character deaths but civilian deaths. If anyone goes to see it or who have seen it watch/look at just how many explosions happen. :<

Since entering bof_icontest I've been making a lot of Breath of Fire icons! XD I've never even played the series before but I'm abusing the artwork from Breath of Fire V.

I almost bought Runaways today but sadly didn't have the money to buy the set. Does anyone else read comic books ?

BTW Oh hay animanga_lims, are you dead. :)

Concerning LJ's new profile page my knee jerk reaction is to call foul and hate the poor thing, but now that I've sit back and actually looked at it as second time, I kind of liked it? My only problems with it, is the black lines that separate the different sections of the profile layout itself- too me it just clutters the interface of the poor page and looks out of place. :x

Tomorrow I go to work and deal with issue there and hope it gets resolved - I don't want anymore drama there. I really don't. Tomorrow is also the start of the Big Experiment. Me and a friend are taking Intro to Human Sexuality (which I think everyone should take), and we have to write a reaction paper and one of the prompts is to go to a store by yourself and just buy condoms and write about the reactions you get. The teacher said its the most popular prompt but also the most dangerous for girls- the guys are apparently patted on the back, joked with and generally nothing happens to them. But if a girl does it, all hell breaks loose if the cashier is an older woman who thinks she has the right to call people anything she wants based on an assumption.

For our reaction papers me and my friend are grabbing a bunch of our mutual friends and were hitting up different stores and each store we're gonna try different scenarios and seeing what reactions we get~.

I have a fabulous new default icon thanks to so_vayne ♥

Past few days have been alright and this weekend I don't have closing shift! \o/ I'm actually going to be going home around the time the sun sets/is still in the sky not when there's no one outside and the moon is high. XD; This week was kind of a wake up call school wise, so I'm probably going to focus more on my studies and start working harder in my classes in general, Well, the ones that require it, its still a fun semester but I just need to actually pay attention and focus on it.

On the subject of school, I have to say this: what the hell community college art students. I'm not talking about my year or maybe I am, but more than likely its pointed to the older generation. I was in the library a lot yesterday and I finally found a book about Alphonso Mucha and his art and I was so happy to find it. I open it up. Someone had taken a box cutter and taken whole pages out of it. WTF? I understand the class is hard or you need it for a class, but what gives you the right to ruin a book and then not tell anyone. Hell, how did you think that was a good idea? Oo; What about the other people who want to look at it after you?

I went to two different colleges, the first had Alphonso Mucha: The Complete Posters and Panels by Jack Rennert and Alain Weill; and Drawing the Female Figure by Joseph Sheppard and whole pages or sections were taken out with box cutters. :/
