i suppose i can blame jane for my newfound love for pixels

♦ classes have started again. i'm trying to not psyche myself out (because i have a talent for that i suppose) but it's taking a lot of self control and inner monologue-pep talks. i'm only taking four classes this quarter and they aren't too bad? i don't have classes on fridays (three day weekends every week ayoooo) and i have huge gaps in between classes. it's a nice schedule but not very accommodating for if i get a job during the school year. hm.
♦ one thing i don't think i can ever get used to is the disconnect i feel with my business school classmates. my personality is just so dissimilar to about 98% of them. i don't possess professional asshole skills okay. just stop irritating me. just today i had this one girl look down on me because i don't already have a job offer lined up. gurl take those ugly 4 inch heels and shove them up your non-fat latte chugging arse.
♦ since i am graduating this spring, i have decided to hit the job market early. just the last week i've been staying strange hours of the morning applying for full time jobs, internships, part time gigs, basically anything i could get at. a bunch of big names (accenture, deloitte, mcgladrey, etc) are already recruiting so i'm scrambling to get things done. it's just so tiring because i get so worked up over how under qualified i am and how my background is so shabby compared to everyone else's. it's so frustrating to know that you don't stand a chance of even being considered for this job, why even bother? i do power through these feelings of doubt because my failure rate would be 100% if i don't apply at all. maybe i'll get lucky or something. also going back to networking events. oh lawd incoming social failure ahoy.
♦ speaking of talking to people. i've decided to just stop with okcupid for the time being. i wasn't finding anyone remotely interesting (hoya lookalike oppar was a hater and didn't respond to my cute flirty message. fuq you) and kept on getting creepers in my inbox. and indian oppars that creep on my page every five minutes. i still have an account for the lulz because i like narrating my okcupid messages to tlist.
SPEAKING OF INDIAN OPPARS. I did go on a date with one. It went horribly. )

Hello yes an update! 

Well not really an update per say. I have things I want to write about, topics I should write about (Hawaii trip, my super exciting summer, thoughts on the economy, online dating experiences, bridesmaid duties, etc etc) but it's all currently sitting on my gdocs ready to be edited for wordiness, useless details, and general bad writing. 

I've integrated a spiffy new profile layout. You should look at it and see how pretty it is. (◕ ◡ ◕) Or tell me how ugly it is. (◕ ╭ ◕) I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for a profile I liked and tweaking it. I'm still I'm not 100% satisfied. I cleaned up my interest section and wrote a proper introduction since the last time I touched it was in high school (lol)

I also did a mini friends-cut while I was at. Only for the people who haven't been online for at least six months and for communities that I no longer have an interest in. If you can't see this entry, then I have removed you from my friends list. Honestly no hard feelings, my flist isn't that big but might as well clear it up while I was tidying up my profile code. If you feel that I shouldn't have removed you, then comment here and I'll add you back. 
I'd also like to use this opportunity to do a reverse friends cut. If you no longer want me on your flist, simply remove me and I will do the same.

Gosh last couple of days have been so stressful, it's not even funny. I've finished my horrible/frustrating Psych midterm (I got a 3.4, huzzah!), went to the Business school Networking night (I couldn't find the International Business people! ;_;), ate out at Cedars with Janna, Jessica and Lisa (Indian food = yummy ♥), finished all of my math hw and half of next weeks hw in one sitting, and woke up late to register for Winter Quarter classes. Yup, the joys of college life.

Right now I'm attempting to finish my chinese hw before one tonight because I really need to wake up super early tomorrow (5 ish) to register for my classes. The registration starts at 6, but I want to make sure I'm logged in and everything so nothing stupid can happen. I was supposed to get everything done this morning...but I woke up like an hour late...(7:00 as opposed to 6 ish... D:). Uni has an odd system of class registration...half of the total spots are reserved for today while the other half is reserved for tomorrow. It's fair...but only 10 spots per classs? D: I was only able to register for Chinese today...

Speaking of Chinese, the last two nights I have been angry at my hw. At an inanimate object, a bunch of papers. I'm so losing it. XD No, because the last two nights I have been either studying for my Psych midterm, or finishing my math hw...and silly Chinese always demands hw every night...I have had to memorize thirty something words in two days...I managed to do it on the first try both times...it's amazing how anger makes me remember better...it's not really working now because I'm not fired up or something...

I have a busy day later...
Classes 12:30 - 3:20 (although I'm contemplating on skipping psych today, but will most likely chicken out of it...)
Gym w/Liz and Iva 3:30
Manga Club: 4:30
Business Dorm party thingy... 5-7
Undergrad Women in Business meeting: 5:30 - 6:20
Sometime afterwards... Hang out with Janna and Jessica..DBSK!! :D 7-8 or something...

Yup, that's what I've been up to in the last week or two. I've been discovering the greatness of Korean Boyband/Acapella group Dong Ban Shin Ki/DBSK/TVXQ/THSK etc. They have a lot of names...but I like them :-) They sing Christmas songs in Korean/funny engrish acapella. ♥

the clip of dolphin noises in question is found here

Watching a bunch of their clips these past couple of days have made me realize that they all wear more jewelry than I do. Heck the JE guys and Atobe Keigo all probably wear more jewelery than I do. XD

I need a DBSK icon...

Anyways, the purpose of this post is to commemorate my first day using my new laptop. :D I'm going to be using all through college, so I hope no one steals it! *knocks on wood for safety*

Yoroshiku!~♥ XD

speaking of college, I'll be heading up this weekend to do orientation stuff and placement testing. I've been reviewing my kanji the last couple of days and I've relearned two years worth of kanji in about two days XD I guess on Monday it'll be my first day on the campus as a 'student'. I'm excited and scared! *laughs for being silly* 8D

Yay, so last Saturday I went to the annual Lee Family Association picnic. According to my grandma, graduating seniors' get $100 bucks if we attend, so I got time off work to attend. It was pretty fun, there was a lion dance (where sacrificial lettuce rained on me :D), food (I was happy, they had fried chicken), I saw a friend of my cousin's, I won a dvd player (yosh!), got my $100 (with some controversy, they forgot about me D: "HEY WE HAVE ONE MORE STUDENT! I LEFT A MESSAGE ON YOUR STUPID ANSWERING MACHINE), and a gift card to Wal-Mart. I think I got a good haul.

I was only able to get three good shots of the lions, they kept on moving. D:

Sooo...I finally got off my lazy bum to update my lj. I'm pretty lazy these days...senoiritis is still affecting me. XD Soo...a list of what I've been up to in the last two (?) weeks:

*Went to my senior prom with my friends, spent a thousand some dollars, and had a blast :D
*Graduated High School
*Went to a small Graduation Party held at a friends' house
*Wanted to cream this rude customer at work
(He complained that the food was horrible, and cold, and heaven forbid, was slow to get to him. Note that he came during our worst and busiest hours. The lounge area was filled with people! He then said how I should be ashamed to work at X place. After I didn't say anything and just carried on with my work, he then started complaining how the restaurant used to take criticism and how most restaurants encourage it. When he eventually left, I wanted to say to him, 'Restaurants do encourage constructive criticism, but out and out rudeness is not wanted')
*Watched a mad marathon of Proposal Daisakusen :D
*Cleaned my room (the dust bunnies have gone!!1)
*Cleaned the hard-drive
*Signed up for driving school

All in all, I've been fairly productive...XD
If any are curious of how my prom/grad went, you can view pictures here

I have just discovered a new Arashi song (well, it's new to me because I haven't heard their 'One' album yet) called Lai-Lai-Lai. It sounds so super fun and happy, but actually, the lyrics are pretty depressing!

You can listen to the song here here
and the lyrics are here Japanese text here


But anyways, in regard to my last post (the really emo one) everything came out ok. They've agreed to accept my application. So thank you for cheering me up! *hearts* (You know who you are, ♥)

Um, my days have been going alright. I particiated in the Science Bowl last Saturday, we won three games and lost one. We didn't make in the semi-finals, but it was pretty fun. I think I didn't do much though... ><;;

My homework load has been ok, but I still have a lot of stuff undone/procastinating on. ><;
Ja, *hugs everyone* ♥
