Here, you BOOB, here's your damn journal update! xD
Yeah, you. You know who you are! -points her Baka Mallet at him-
-ahem- ANYWAY... ok, so since we last heard Yuki's ramblings, lots has happened. Omgshock, yes, things have happened!
Well, not that much, actually.
First on the list... I chopped all my hair off. Yep, I finally had it all hacked off. I lost about 12 inches, which were donated to Locks of Love. Now my hair's shorter (just below my shoulders), layered, and highlighted. LOOK OUT COLLEGE, HERE I COME WITH MY NEW 'DO! <3
Speaking of college... I went to the seven hour, yes, that's right... seven hour orientation last week. Dear Gods, shoot me. The staff were boring as hell and I nearly fell asleep, but we did break up into groups and follow a "Mentor" around. Mine was hot, too... only a year older than me. Kinda ghetto, but a real sweet boy it seemed.
At Orientation I met up with a friend I haven't seen in... oh wow, almost two years? That was great. We might get together some time and go clubbin' or something.
Ah, MCC's amazing... There's so many classes I can take and lots to do. It's big, bigger than my high school, but I'll learn where everything is in good time. The food places are spiffy; there's a pizza place, cereal bar that serves Starbucks coffee and sandwich wraps, Taco Bell, Subway... even a restaurant with food made by the culinary students. According to one of the students, the food is really good, and a good price, the only downside is that you have to eat-in. Not the place if you're running to class. Luckily, I have about an hour and a half lunch.
Work's been... same old same old. Still working in the cheese department, and I still have a lot to learn, too. There's so many cheeses... and naturally, I like the expensive ones. Surprise, surprise. Brie is really good, even the cheaper, domestic stuff is good. I ended up buying some imported, triple creme brie (brie's normally only double creme). <3
I've just started tackling the self-serve Olive Bar the Olde World Cheese department has, as well. Wow... that thing's a pain in the a**. I have to be in at 8am, and I'm lifting trays, and cleaning, and spilling stuff. It's a huge job, too, it took me and Teresa, my manager about 3 hours to do. And that's with two people.
I can't complain too much, though. I'm not on the Front End, so that's a good thing. I hated being a cashier. At least I can eat back in the cheese department, even if we do a lot of things.
It's always seemed like such a quiet corner back there, too, I thought when I transfered there I'd be standing there doing nothing. NOPE. Everyday, there's a whole list of things to package, cut, wrap, re-wrap, shred, grate, mix, make... but, at least everyday isn't the same.
Hmm... le'see... Ah! I've been buying N64 games off of eBay since I've been bored. I've been tempted to buy Kingdom Hearts, too. Maybe soon.
Ah! I'm saving up for a Macbook, too. The college has wireless internet, so I'll be able to get free internet on my laptop there... and maybe even at home, if there's any sources for it nearby. I've wanted a Mac for a while, too, and I can get a discount now since I'm a college student. Plus, some professors even let you take notes on your laptop if you have one. I could be online while in class. xD
Oh, and I saw my friend Sami-chan today, too. She's still as crazy as ever, and we might end up doing something this week if we can find time. It's tough when we're both working on different schedules. She gave me an idea, though. She goes to Alfred University... and she said if I do well my first semester at MCC, my high school grades won't even be looked at. Maybe I could transfer to Alfred U. That's be awesome, I'd be away from home and make all kinds of new friends.
We'll see, all in good time.
Um... my road test is August 11th. I'm more than just a little nervous. I have everything down, but parallel parking is a hit and miss. Sometimes I do it perfectly, other times I don't. I know -how- to parallel park, but as far as getting it perfect every time, not so much. Hopefully the examner will understand that I'm nervous and give me a break.
Hmm... Let's see... ah, I've given up caffiene. Not completely, but a lot. I've been drinking lots of SoBe green tea and other drinks... and I must say, I feel so much better, and sleep a whole lot better, too.
Oreo's fat. Her tummy's so round. xD She's still as playful as ever, though, and I have the scars to prove it. I'll have to get some recent pictures of her and me up somewhere eventually.
I've been watching movies on YouTube lately, since I'm cheap and don't wanna download stuff. I saw Tonari no Totoro last night, it's such a cute movie. A while back I saw NANA, too. Great movie... and I've fallen in love with a new rising J-pop star.
Yuna Ito. She's amazing... I have all her songs, so far. Boy, can she belt it out, and she's not a big girl, either. What's cool, is that she's a US citizen. Yep, that's right, she was born in Hawaii, and raised in the US. Her mother's Korean, but her father's Japanese, so she made frequent visits to Japan to visit family... and now she's there to persue a career. She did two songs for NANA, which definitely got her career going. One's a ballad, ENDLESS STORY, and the other's more upbeat, JOURNEY.
She's done songs for other things, too. Another ballad for a romantic movie called "LIMIT OF LOVE"... the song's called Precious, and it's just beautiful. Another one of her songs, "Faith" is used as a theme for a new drama called "Unfair"... and then her song "Pureyes" is used for a contact lens solution commericial. Then there's "Secrets" and "I'm Free" which haven't been used for anything, I don't think.
Yuna Ito's fourth single is supposed to come out August 9th, and have a remake of "These Boots Are Made for Walking" on it, which is used in a commericial as well as another song called "Stuck on You", which I heard a preview of. Uhg, I fell in love.
Then, another single of hers is coming out in September and one of the songs on it is going to be the opening for the second season of LOST.
Hmm... not sure what else to say, so I'll it at this for now.
Jaa mata!
(By the way, if you find typos... I didn't proof read. So there.)
