I'm not sure how all of you did yours, but I used a word document and then deleted it all. I only had seven, but I was still surprised at the contents sometimes. So I joined the bandwagon. :)

Urgh, I'm tired, but I have to do this homework....
I
almost regret going to see Milk. Actually, I'm not particularly happy I saw it.
I was curious about it, but by no means did it fulfill me in any particular
way. His fight is still ongoing: there is still prejudice, and there seems to
be no end to dissatisfied people who feel they are unfairly treated, but do not
wish to work hard to be acknowledged. That is not to say that all who complain
are lazy, or that those that complain are

I broke my diet TOO much.....ugh
So now I'm feeling sick. Bleh.
Rozy: Keep trying to keep to your goal!
Once you slip up, it's hard to get back on track! =_= My diet is proving
that.... I hope you don't

Okay.....and.....?
I'm not really awake right now. You see, I'm pretending. I have to
be 'awake' in order to be at work, but really, I'm just sleeping while waking.
Or having a waking-sleep. Or a sleep-wake. *nods* Yup yup. And now I have to be
awake until .....9 or so pm?
I haven't done any homework for today, and
I have two assignments for my psych class due. I really wanna drop that class,
but the only real assignment I have left in there is an analytic paper. And
those really aren't difficult if you know what you're focusing on.
My cold sore is retreating!
WAhahahaha....ow...It's begun to hurt. =.=
I was looking at BF's blog posts a year
ago. I kinda wanna see mine from a year ago now....Hm. BBL.
This is interesting. Last year, I took a
Passionate Love Scale test, and for kicks, I redid it. My score was lower now,
but I still scored in the Passionate Love range. ^_^ Heh.
Argh. I referenced a story on my blog a
year ago, and suddenly had to backtrack. I'd been trying to figure out why bf
said that I was going through a tough time, but since his blog design is wacky
and unhelpful right now, I had to just scan through, and I got so distracted!
Darn it!
Anyway, about my weekend. Siblings Day was
pretty cool. Chay got really obnoxious when he was hungry, so we never even got
to finish making our quilt and had to leave, and it was 20 minutes before he
did anything but grunt. He really liked the lunch though. We ate at Fountain
Dining Hall. Then we went to the IRC office, where we used their restroom,
since I couldn't think of a way for us both to use the bathroom without leaving
him alone, which I REALLY didn't think was a good idea. Then we went to the
bookstore, where he wanted a Naruto novel. I think for his birthday I'll get
him the first volume and most recent volume of Naruto, as well as a postcard
booklet for him to keep postcards in. I'll send him postcards from Japan, so he
won't forget me. Then we went to a Bee-keeping class, where I fell asleep. The
brat tattled on me! They apparently did an experiment, where you had to look in
your partner's eyes, and he raises his hand and says "Teacher, I can't do
the experiment because my Aunt fell asleep!" I IMMEDIATELY wake up and say
"I'm not asleep!" which of course sends a round of laughter through
the class. Even the teacher looked amused. V_V So embarrassing. Then we started
the scavenger hunt. Chay wasn't all that interested until we started
vandalizing property. We were painting in the tunnel, and he ADORED
that.....Makes me a little worried, honestly. Then we went and did an obstacle
race with each other. He's adorable, even if he's rude and not very
conscientious. V_V I'm really bossy with him too, so I was a little embarrassed
in front of my IRC friends. I felt very motherly. *sigh* I should stop being so
self-conscious about it. Then we went to the library, where I treated him to
coffee and a cookie, while we waited for the Creamery to open. Turns out it
isn't open on those days, so we'd wasted our time. But Chay and I got to sit
there and talk for a while. Then he had to use the bathroom. It was all the
coffee and soda, I just know it. We then walked to Talley and waited for Nana
to pick us up. Then we went to Cook-Out and got food. Bf didn't want to join
us. *tear* jk. Then I forced her to fill out the FAFSA stuff. It ended up
making us both a little late, but I had awesome timing when I called K-chan to
see if she'd drive me, since I was so sleep-deprived. She was literally walking
out the door, so it was great timing. Except that I had to rush my mom and
nephew out of my room then, so we wouldn't be late. V_V I felt bad about that.
Then I went Contra Dancing. I always managed to have a partner when I danced,
but it was a close call once or twice. I don't really like asking the men to
dance, but I dislike sitting out a dance even more. It's so fun, though I've
noticed I laughed rather less than I did the first time I went. I like to think
I danced better though.
Interesting song that pandora just played
for me:
10/14/10
Miyazaki Mood (that’s all)
10/15/10
KomattaKoto
Which translates roughly to "Troublesome things".
*sigh* I have something to admit. I hate
to admit it, and I hate to think of anyone knowing, but .....*dundundun* I'm
out of money. I can say I'm 'running low' but that translates to "I've
been eating 1 dollar's worth of food each day for lunch in order to still have
something to buy food with the next day. I have less than a hundred yen to my
name that belongs to me here. I had to borrow money from Ikuchin just to buy a
ticket for the train ride home.
See, I thought I would be paid tonight but
I wasn't. So I am in some real trouble. I must pay Ikuchin back. And then
there's the bank's fee which I was never aware of until I received an email
about it when I got here, and a few other 'bills' waiting to be paid. Beyond
that, I'm on my own for lunch every day, so it's really troublesome. I'm
attempting to find scholarships, grants, jobs, or anything I can do to bring in
the money, but I'm not certain what is available. If you know of anything I can
do, or where I could go, I'd be extremely happy to hear it. My parents aren't
an option.
Beyond that, I'm super tired, and on the
verge of making myself sick from the worry. There was this sick moment when I
realized tonight that I wasn't being paid tonight, and that I didn't even have
the 210 yen necessary to buy a ticket home. (BTW, 1 yen roughly translates to 1
cent) My stomach kind of curdled and I felt like I might throw up if I opened
my mouth too much. I refuse to cry, because that won't help anything. Instead,
I'm going to look at my options, and figure out what I can do. Any suggestions
are appreciated.
*sigh* My class really isn't hard at
all....it's just alot of work....I get about 3-6 pages of homework a day. I can
do all of that homework within 45-60 minutes, depending on the content. I would
say within half an hour, but kanji is infinitely more difficult, so I can't
make that claim. I think I'm gonna take a shower and try to relax. Stress makes
me so ill, and I really can't afford to be sick right now either. I'm rather
mortified that people are going to know I'm broke, so please don't rub it in if
you can help it. When I have to admit it to my mom, I can already hear the
"See? What was that 'I can make it on my own' talk about? Come home!
That's the only money I'll give you!" or something of that nature. How
depressing. There's the slight chance she'd react with "My poor baby.
We'll send you money, but make a budget, and we'll work something out when you
come home next year" but honestly? That's like a 3% chance. So depressing.
AUGH! No more depression! I really wanna talk to bf though!!! He's never online
when I'm bursting to consult him....whether I'm in America or Japan. ARGH!
That's depressing too! That's it! Shower time! Then I'll blog about my week in
more political ways on the other blog. :P

I realized how little I post on here lately
I also just realized that on Sunday, not only do I get a movie day
with my lust crush, but he will be helping me practice my self defense which
means lots of physical contact....wow. I'm suddenly seriously looking forward
to the weekend. And I'm dreading it now for the exact same reason.....That
sucks.
So today I took a day off. :) Or so I say.
What I actually did was:
-Wake up around 10.
-Eat a piece of toast,
-Hang up Ikuchin's laundry and start my
own (starting with my bed sheets)
-Take a shower
-Hang some laundry up
-Eat some orange slices and something else
-Get dressed, put make up on
-Try out my new socks and my new heels by
going out
-Went to the rental store and picked out 5
movies (Mamma Mia, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Juno, My neighbor Totoro, and Public
Enemy)

Engagement
We
didn't do this in order, but this is how it went down:
4 comments:
Lol. Too bad you didn't finish the engagement post. I wish you had told me about the money situation when you were in Japan. I totally had extra money at the time that I could have sent you somehow. I sort of remember you saying something about it, and me making a suggestion like that but then you rejecting it. I didn't really push it since I don't think I really understood (or you really explained) the seriousness of the situation.
How did it go down??? I love reading the cliffhanger posts. I really enjoyed the Chay post on sibling day, too.
It seems a bit like both you and Reb made a few complete posts that you didn't want to share. Thanks for sharing them now! I'm glad you got out of Japan alive.
I wrote a different post about the engagement later.
Hahaha. In the end I was offered a half-Scholarship, simply because I asked if they had one. That's when I realized, if I had asked and applied like everyone else, I probably would have been covered the entire time. That's why I'm definitely going to apply for the MT Scholarship.
Ahh, the State tunnel. That sounds pretty darn cool for kids. And then reading about the lack of money is a stressful wake-up call to the adult world :/ Sorry you had to go through that, but glad you made it out okay.
