Hey everyone, I know this isn't my normal blogging day, but I just had to rant this out to someone so it doesn't clutter up my normal Thursday post. I have come to the conclusion that I HATE finals week. Yeah, it's just one week of testing to make sure we passed our classes and ensuring that we paid a little attention, but still. I hate it. And I have it really easy.
I can't imagine how hard this will be next semester when I have four hard classes, I mean, my classes this semester have been super chill. For our English final all I had to do was show up for the final day, hand in my essay and kick it with the rest of the class. That's it. Simple. For my Illustrator final all I did was go in, put my projects onto the main computer, go over what we did in class, get my grade and leave. I think I was in there for three minuets max. Then I went outside and smoked a little, kicking it with my buddies.
My Basics of Photography class? Yeah well that's what I'm stressing over. The teacher gave us a five page front and back study guide that we have to complete. Then we go in on Thursday for our final which is a 200 question test. I have been working on this study guide for days now and I still haven't completed it. I've come to the conclusion that I am going to fail this final because most of the study guide is about things we went over in class, not things that are in the book or in my notes (which I didn't really take, stupid on my part). I have a B in that class right now, barely clinging to that B, so this test will make or break my grade. I would seriously rather not fail my Photo final but some of these questions are ridiculous! One actually asks for the exact type of Photoshop used for the computers in our class. Others are about the photographs we edited and some are just asking what something does
(for example: Filter > Distort > Lens Correction Tool > Vertical Perspective = <does what?> ).
This is ridiculous, seriously not needed stuff. I know there is only one answer to the questions like the one above, but still...it's kinda stupid that he's asking things like that when we didn't really go over any of that. We barely did anything with Photoshop, and when we did, he baby walked us through it. We never kept track of what anything was called or what did what. I just. Grr! I'm really irritated with this and I guess you can all tell. I just have so much "Basics of Photography" stuff crammed into my brain, I think I need a break or something before I over study (if it's not too late for me, that is).
Yeah, so I'll be posting again on Thursday night after my Photo Final. No, I won't be doing the entire post on that stupid test, hopefully, I'll have other things to talk about :) See you guys then!

A Job? And A Gay Guy?? What Have I Been Hiding???
Hey everyone!!! Guess what!!!! So I've been neglecting to tell you all some very BIG BIG BIG news. I start at my new job tomorrow.
WHAT!?! Riku why did you never tell us!!! Is that why you haven't been complaining about applications??? When did this happen!?!?!
Well, my ever faithful followers, I shall explain. . . very quickly because I have even bigger news to tell you all too! Basically, my friend got tired of listening to me bitch and complain about how I can't get a job and no one wants to hire me and finally he says he would see about getting me a job at this company **** (Yeah, you guys don't get to know where I work hahahhaha sorry..) where he works. That's basically it. Kind of a boring story, I know, but still, I has a job now and I has my parents off my back about it and I has an income which means I can save up, buy the truck, be able to afford the gas and insurance, then move out (hopefully) and get on with my life! :D Exciting stuff right?
Now here is where everything just flips upside down and does 8 twists. I'm dating a gay guy. And he is so great.
So that's it for my life hahaha . . . or should I tell you more? I guess I can't leave you hanging, huh? Okay, so he is 19 and he dates guys, until he started dating me. I'm a girl. But he's not bi. He is just confused, and actually so am I. Our little situation is rather confusing and I honestly don't understand it and yes I know I just got out of a break up, my friends have all been over this with me a million times and I know I shouldn't be in a relationship right now, I need to figure out who I am, what the hell I am doing with my life and blah blah blah blah blah all that fun stuff. But this guy makes me feel happy and isn't that important? I know he likes guys, and I know I generally am into girls more than I am into guys, but for some odd reason I seem to make him happy too. We may not work out and for all I know he'll be back to dating guys again at the end of the month and that's okay. I just want to be around people who make me feel happy, people who I can let loose and just be me, real me, and do whatever the hell feels natural. Be that hitting him because he decided to bite me, or just smoking a cigarette because I felt like it. I can't do that around my friends, I couldn't do that with my ex, I just want to be free right now, even if it is free in a relationship with a gay guy. Yes, I know, it is confusing and I know it's weird, but I like him as his girly, happy go lucky, don't give any fucks, screw the world I'll do whatever the hell I want self. And he likes me for me, whoever I happen to be because hell if I know.
So yes, I start working part time tomorrow and my first official date with the new bf is this weekend sometime, he hasn't told me any details yet. Life is as exciting as ever, and with finals next week, I know things are about to get very complicated and messy. Stay tuned, and I'll post again in a week. Bye!!!

Thanksgiving Post!!! (better late than never)
Hey everyone! I know, I didn't make a post on Thursday, I'm so sorry!!! Things came up and I ended up collapsed on my bed fast asleep. I Was going to tell you all about my family traditions, but I guess that wouldn't be such a great idea since we're a pretty boring family. Sucks to be you though cause I'll tell you any ways ^-^
So I have two Thanksgivings. One with my dads side of the family, where we eat a ton of food and spend our time pretending to be normal. We generally all go to my Aunts house for a Thanksgiving lunch. I have three cousins that I know who are on my dads side. I don't really get along with any of them any more, so I spent Thanksgiving lunch the same way I have been for the past two years: sitting with my oldest sister and eating all of the vegetarian/gluten free food we can find. I used to be really close with the one female cousin, but we've grown apart over the years and I'm not sure how to help us grow back together :/ I guess it starts with just telling her about my life, right? That won't be too bad, will it??
Anyway, so then I also have a separate Thanksgiving with my mothers side of the family. I don't have any cousins on this side of the family, and my brother and I are convinced that her siblings are all way cooler than they let on. That's a story for another time though, another time and another place I guess haha
Yeah, so I have two Thanksgivings every year. It's nice if you just want to eat food all day and do nothing but eat. For me it was kinda depressing because I only got to see one sister and my family was a bit less than pleasant this year. All in all, the good outweighed the bad and my holiday was better than most.
Signing out now, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and ate lots of food without getting too ill afterwards. Have a great day!
P.S.
I don't remember if I ever informed you all, but my boyfriend of two years and I broke up.... Did I not inform you all? Oh well, maybe I'll explain in a later post haha

Bad News: Mold. Good News: Peppermint!!!!!!!!!
Hey Blog Readers!! :D How have you all been? Me, well, I've been great. I know I missed the last post (sorry) but now I'm back and you don't have to worry about it anymore. First of all, you all need an update! So I finally got my schedule for my next semester of classes for college, full time student if I can get into that communications class! Also, my boyfriend and I broke up, it happened some time ago and we're going to attempt to stay friends, hopefully we can do it! Next, I got an A on my Photo Midterm Paper!!!!
Okay, now that everyone is all caught up, let me discuss what I wanted to. I have mold growing in my closet because there is a leak in the laundry room, which is located right next to my room. We had a contractor come and look at it, and he said that it didn't look very bad, most likely just a little surface mold that could be taken care of with a 50/50 mix of bleach and water. He is coming back next week sometime to open up the wall and double check that everything really is okay and fix whatever isn't. Thank god.
The bad news is that I have to keep my bedroom door open. Constantly. If any of you have spent any time with me at all, you'll know that I close doors, always. I hate to be in a room with the door open. I don't care what is going on, I have to close the door. Having the door to my room open is driving me up the wall, seriously you guys, I'm going crazy. Insane. Mad!!!
Yeah....on the other hand, I have some great news. PEPPERMINT. Winter is here everyone and with that comes Peppermint, the greatest thing in the world. You can bet I've already eaten more than my fair share of Candy Canes and drank more than enough Peppermint Hot Chocolate. I am in love with Peppermint. Give me any minty drink and all is forgiven. You could quite possibly kill my family and then apologize with candy canes and peppermint drinks and I'd forgive all. . . . Okay that's a bit extreme, but you get the picture haha
Anyway, I know this was short, but I have a ton to do so I can't write too much. Next week is Thanksgiving and I'll be sure to post! Until then, be safe and be happy. Bye all!

My Baby!!!! And An Essay Panic
Hey Everyone!! So my truck has been giving me problems lately (major sadface, my truck is my baby!!!), so I went with my dad and we took it in to the shop for a check up. A few hours later they called for us to come get it and the total came out to $660, which isn't nearly as bad as it could have been. For those of you who don't know, I drive a beautiful blue '92 Chevy (Woot woot!!!) and both of my sisters drove it before me, and this truck has been in the family longer than I have. Well my dad has been talking more and more about getting a new truck and selling the one we have. I say HELL NO because this truck is my baby and I have plans about buying the truck off of him after I can afford to (still job hunting, not going very well). He talks like he is going to make it so that I can't afford to ever buy the truck off of him, which would suck since the truck is my baby, I love the truck more than I love the .22 (A beautiful hand gun that I think I posted about before, if not, I'll have to post about it some time, shoots like a dream <3 )!!
Anyway, that was just a little rant, what I really wanted to say was: I FINISHED MY ESSAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Okay so for all of you whom I didn't text in a panic, I got an email from one of my class mates reminding me about the TWELVE (12) page essay that was apparently due today. Well, no shit I panicked and flipped my lid until around 4, I found the paper that was handed out to us (which I never read, of course) and saw that it was only a 3 page essay followed by a page of pictures and a bibliography. Since I had only a paragraph down, this didn't bother me. I wrote my essay in an hour and immediately left for my 6:00 class because rush hour driving sucks and takes FOREVER. So I get to school, I have 10 minuets until my class so I run to the Cafe, buy some food because I realize I hadn't eaten since 9 or so, then rush to class stuffing the bagel down my throat because food isn't allowed in the room otherwise you'll be kicked out. I get inside, place my essay on the pile of essays to be turned in and this noise goes off. I look around after sitting down and I look up in time to see my teacher pick up the pile of essays and put them into his desk drawer. He proceeds to say "Well, I hope you all got your essays in because I will no longer be taking them as it is now 6 and on the assignment sheet I clearly stated that any essay submitted after 6 pm will be counted as late and therefore will not be accepted for a grade."
Okay first of all HOLY SHIT I just barely made the cut. Second of all, what a jerk! He generally gives us until the end of class to get our things turned in, I barely noticed the pile of essays on the front table, there weren't any signs saying "Hey, put your essay here!" so he should have announced that he was collecting the essays before saying that as of now no more essays can be turned in. The kid next to me was waiting for him to collect the essays, he had it out in front of him. He won't take it now because it was "late" even though he was in the class before I was and was sitting there waiting to hear what was going on. So dumb, right? Ah well, such is life I guess.

Money Rant
Hey so I just wanted to rant a little to you guys. Money. So I know I'm low on money, very low in fact, but does that mean that I don't pitch in where I can when I can? No. Does that mean I don't do things around the house so mom doesn't have to? No. Does that mean I need to be sat down for a ten minuet lecture about how as of next week I will be limited on when I can drive and how long I can stay out? Hell No! Okay I know that I need to pitch in around the house because my parents, out of the goodness of their hearts, haven't kicked me to the curb yet. And praise god I am allowed to wake up at 7 in the morning every Sunday to go to a church that is gracious enough to understand that I needed a year off to collect myself and really think about what I am doing in my life because heaven above knows I have everything sorted now.
*&#@ !!! ( <-- That's a curse word )
I'm 19 years old, living with my parents, trying to balance school and a boyfriend (which has turned into basically a full time job) not to mention trying to keep the house clean so my mom doesn't have to worry about cleaning and watering the plants and sweeping the pool and washing dishes every night. My room is a mess because my free time is spent doing homework. The money I have goes towards food so my parents don't have to feed me throughout the week, whatever I have left goes towards gas for the truck (which by the way, dad, yes I do put my own money into that gas tank, why do you think I don't tell you every time I fill up? I don't want you to worry about having to pay for every single gallon in there).

Every night I try to be asleep by 11:00, but that rarely happens. Often on Monday and Sunday I end up at my boyfriends place and we hang out until 9:30, 10:00.
The whole point of this is to tell you guys that I keep a regular schedule and that I generally know what happens in my day to day life, and yes, I do leave at 7 in the morning so I can pick up my boyfriend for his class at 8 in the morning even though I don't have class until 9:30. He stays at a friends house on those days and his friend lives on the way to school. I'm headed that way anyways and I don't see the problem with it. Doesn't that just mean I care about my boyfriend? I would do that for most of my friends if they lived between me and the school. My parents are always on my about getting up early because I waste the day away sleeping, so getting up early is what they wanted but now I have a reason to, they get pissed off at me for it. I don't understand. Yes, he moved and now lives 40 minuets away by car, it's a 25 minuet drive if you take the freeway the whole way. Yes, I need a job, I put in 3 more applications today though and even if I don't fill those out right in front of you, I still do them so get off my back, parents! Yes, you had a job at 16, good for you, but this isn't the 70s anymore, this is 2013 and times have certainly changed.
Girls can pay for half of the date now and it is considered okay. Girlfriends drive their boyfriends places when they don't have a vehicle, not all guys have a car! Just because you don't see someone doing something doesn't mean they aren't doing it! And yes, you can take that however you want to!
All of this just goes to say that I am trying to get a job, I am putting my own money towards gas, I don't just taxi my boyfriend around, Yes (oh my god people please stop asking me this) I do still have feeling for my boyfriend, no I have no idea where my cellphone charger is (sorry love...), yes I am still best friends with my best friend even though we don't talk and text all of the time because it is possible to be best friends even if you're not constantly communicating, and last but not least no I have not yet set up an appointment with a college counselor to discuss the upcoming semester even though everyone has been on my case about it!
Sorry, I know this one was long and there was a lot you guys probably missed because of its personal nature, but next blog should be more upbeat and happy and about Halloween. Hopefully. Until next time, guys, stay awesome!

Every night I try to be asleep by 11:00, but that rarely happens. Often on Monday and Sunday I end up at my boyfriends place and we hang out until 9:30, 10:00.
The whole point of this is to tell you guys that I keep a regular schedule and that I generally know what happens in my day to day life, and yes, I do leave at 7 in the morning so I can pick up my boyfriend for his class at 8 in the morning even though I don't have class until 9:30. He stays at a friends house on those days and his friend lives on the way to school. I'm headed that way anyways and I don't see the problem with it. Doesn't that just mean I care about my boyfriend? I would do that for most of my friends if they lived between me and the school. My parents are always on my about getting up early because I waste the day away sleeping, so getting up early is what they wanted but now I have a reason to, they get pissed off at me for it. I don't understand. Yes, he moved and now lives 40 minuets away by car, it's a 25 minuet drive if you take the freeway the whole way. Yes, I need a job, I put in 3 more applications today though and even if I don't fill those out right in front of you, I still do them so get off my back, parents! Yes, you had a job at 16, good for you, but this isn't the 70s anymore, this is 2013 and times have certainly changed.
Girls can pay for half of the date now and it is considered okay. Girlfriends drive their boyfriends places when they don't have a vehicle, not all guys have a car! Just because you don't see someone doing something doesn't mean they aren't doing it! And yes, you can take that however you want to!
All of this just goes to say that I am trying to get a job, I am putting my own money towards gas, I don't just taxi my boyfriend around, Yes (oh my god people please stop asking me this) I do still have feeling for my boyfriend, no I have no idea where my cellphone charger is (sorry love...), yes I am still best friends with my best friend even though we don't talk and text all of the time because it is possible to be best friends even if you're not constantly communicating, and last but not least no I have not yet set up an appointment with a college counselor to discuss the upcoming semester even though everyone has been on my case about it!
Sorry, I know this one was long and there was a lot you guys probably missed because of its personal nature, but next blog should be more upbeat and happy and about Halloween. Hopefully. Until next time, guys, stay awesome!

I'm Sick!!!!! And way behind in school............
Hey Blog Readers!!!!! So I am so sorry for not posting a blog thing in forever but I got super busy and I kept telling myself that I would post something tomorrow and I said that for months so.........yeah. I'm sure we all know how that ends up.
So I started school in August, I'm attending the local community college taking 10 units and I'm really enjoying classes. I have an awesome English instructor and I see my friends between classes which is nice since I missed them and rarely saw them during my year off. I'm two months in and I feel a little in over my head, I'm not even a full time student yet and I feel so behind on everything. I just took my Photo midterm, I passed with an 88% which is a lot better than I thought I would get. The test was entirely multiple choice but it was much more difficult than I thought it would be and a lot of the questions were on topics that we had never reviewed or gone over in class so most of us failed. My Illustrator class is moving along nicely, and the professor won't be grading any of the work until the very end of the semester so we have as long as we need to work on the projects and get everything done so that we are comfortable with what we did and how we did it. I really enjoy that fact. My English class is so much fun, the teacher is young and cool, he really makes me feel like I can do everything that he is throwing at me and the essays and work load seem to be simple enough, even though they are still somehow challenging. I have to meet with a counselor to discuss the future at school and decide on classes, I've been putting off contacting the Counseling Center because I feel like everything will be so much ore real, plus I'm still uncomfortable at school and talking to a counselor will cement me attending. I want to transfer to a UC school south of here but I feel like I won't be able to succeed there. I don't even know if I can succeed here.
Getting kinda deep..
Moving on.
So I'm sick. Not "I have a flu." sick, I'm talking coughing sneezing fever headache throwing up everywhere then eating a box of mac n cheese because I'm craving it sick. Yes. Today I ate an entire box of mac n cheese. By myself. I've never done that before, I'm not even sure how it happened, I only meant to eat one bowl, then all of a sudden all of the mac n cheese is gone and I know I'm the one who ate it. Scary how that happens. So I went to school yesterday and because I am sick I sat down with my friends in the lobby, waiting for 9:30 to roll around so I could go to English and then suddenly it was 10:20 and no one had woken me up. I fell asleep and missed my English class which sucked because it is one of those classes where you have to be there for each class in order to do the in class activities and get credit for them. Okay so I missed English, I still had Illustrator at 11:40 so my friends and I went to the cafe for some food because we're all there until late and the cafe has warm food and comfy booths. So I get my fries and I sit down to eat them when my boyfriends comes over and I lean on him. Bad Idea. I woke up at 1:40 and my boyfriend was gone, half the cafe was empty and it was just me and three of my friends sitting at the booth. I can't very well walk into my class two hours late and be all like "Sorry. I fell asleep in the cafe." >.> so I did what any normal person would do: go back to sleep. I was woken up by my boyfriend and then he and I sat there and waited for my brother to get out of class and meet up with us at 2:45. Needless to say I have a lot to catch up on since I've been gone from my classes for a week or so on and off. I know I'm sick and I shouldn't be pushing myself, but I can't help it, I want to go to school and I want to do my work and I want to prove to my disapproving parents that I can in fact do something right and make something out of myself.
Anyways...I'm getting sick again so I'm pretty sure it's about time to throw up the mac n cheese so I'll post again soon and until then, I love you guys for letting me rant here and please stay healthy!!!
