Just so you know....

I noticed this on a comic I read, and found myself reading it: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politicsnorthwest/2017323520_starbucks_supports_gay_marriag.html

I think my politically aware friends will be happy to know. And to connect that link, and my blog title, a song for your enjoyment:


That's all, folks.

Bullet Updates for an easy read

Life is tough right now. There's a lot of things going on. I'll start with the exciting stuff, and move down to the dreaded stuff.

-My birthday is on Friday (yay, 22!)
-My birthday party is on Saturday. My sisters are driving up, and there's at least eight friends that are supposed to be coming~ I want my friends to bring food, instead of gifts, but that didn't work when I was in Japan, so I'm curious to see how it'll work this time.
-Bf and I are going to live together in Texas! Yay new experiences?
-I may have a job as a Japanese Counselor this summer, but I haven't gotten an answer yet. My recommendation for one person also hasn't been posted. I wonder if I could do a third person.... It'd make it a little easier...
-My cat seems to have gotten nicer. I don't know if she's faking it though, but she's been rather loving.
-Assuming I pass my classes, I will be graduating on May 12th.
-It's Spring! It's been raining every couple of days, so I'm super happy.
-I'm volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club on Fridays.
-I don't have allergies, and I'm not pregnant! *knocks on wood*
-I get to play with Pineapples! ..the person, not the fruit.

....Okay, now I'll go into the not so great stuff:
-Cat keeps throwing up randomly
-I may not get the job and end up jobless during the summer when I really need to save money
-The lease runs out on our apartment in June. This is a good thing except for the above concern.
-If I don't pass my classes, I'm more than screwed.
-My history class is kicking my ass.
-I'm meeting my stepdad's family for the first time in my life... O.o
-I'm interning at two places for a month. I'm scared and excited.
-I've regained almost all the weight I lost while in Japan.... and it's because I stress eat whenever I go to my Mom's house..... It doesn't help that American snacks are almost always bad for you....
-I haven't been cooking lately.... I need to fix that
-I seem eternally damned with technology. Let me expound: I applied to be a counselor, but I couldn't get the reference pages or the second part of the
application to work, so I had to completely restart from scratch. Then, I just found out my recommendor didn't get the email to recommend me (sent from the site). So now I've called, they're resending it, and since I don't know what caused either of these malfunctions, I'm terrified it won't work AGAIN.
-I seem to be having shoulder issues. This is bad because we're currently testing for archery, so I can't exactly not participate.
-My insomnia has returned. I really don't understand it, since I wear myself out pretty often, but it also seems like when I work myself over too hard, I get unable to sleep. It's a no-win.
- My advisor recommended I take the Weather class because it's easy. She opposed the class I wanted to take. I really wish she'd have kept that suggestion to herself. 'Easy' classes always seem to be hard for me. They're boring and/or so large/mainstream that I can't do well.
-I have to attend Leadership classes. I usually don't get through with my classes and such until 5:45 or 7:30, so my opinions for signing up are so limited, it's not even funny. (they're from 6:30 to 8:30 and you can't be late)

I'm probably missing some things, but I've noticed that as I'm going through a list of bad things, I get reminded of a lot of positive "At least ...." type good things, so I add it to the good list. That's a little funny.

Okay, this is about all I have for an update right now. But I have one in the works, so look forward to it!

I like this song:
