Hello!~~Goodbye!
The Target commercials have so many variations that I have to fully watch the commercial before I realize what they are for. I hear their, “Hello - Good-buy!” song, and I go, “Ohhhh!” They’re so tricky/clever. Their marketing team is anyway.
August is halfway gone. And once again, I feel like I’ve missed out on life in some weird way. How I have used up half the page on my calendar already is beyond me. As per usual, nothing is done. This ugly layout is still up. I still haven’t fully moved my fanlisting server because I’ve forgotten how to use phpFanList that codes it and I’ve yet to actually figure out how to do that (and it’s been 2 months!!). My photo gallery-turned-blog-and-various-other-sites-supposedly was taken down 4 months ago, and it’s 5 different portals still aren’t done. I fail at online life~~
It’s funny how I used to be completely absorbed by the ‘net. My world revolved around message boards, and fan sites, and coding, and layouts, and all of those things that only virtually exist. People say that these sorts of hobbies tend to show up in their college days, but for me it was my junior high and early high school days. I’m a nearly-college student (one month until I move in!!), and that hobby seems to be fading away for me. I can’t find the motivation to make and create things anymore. I can’t find the time to sit down and learn something in front of my computer. Reading is a hobby that I can carry with me in my purse and do while waiting for a meeting or a bus; web design and things online are certainly not as portable.
This is not a goodbye from the web though. I’ll still try to stay as up to date as possible. This is more of a warning. Although you probably should have seen it coming considering my updates for the past year or so. I’ll try, but don’t expect much. I’m sure I’ll make a come back eventually. You never know - maybe I’ll get bored of college life by winter quarter. :) If that’s possible in a school as big as mine…
The other day, I rode the bus all the way to the U-District all by myself. I was eterally proud of how brave I was. When you live in the suburbs, it’s lame to ride the bus. Now, I ride the bus to the mall because it’s cheaper (since the bus drivers have no idea that I’m nearly 19 now). And I don’t feel too incredibly guilty about not really knowing how to drive/not having my license yet (but I still drive illegally to work because it’s not even a mile away).
But then, to treat myself, I swear I’ve blown like two paychecks at our newly reopened mall. :( And I work full time. My closet is now over stuffed and I have more shoes than I really need (and no sensible ones as of yet). You’d think I’d be smart and blow my money on something useful like books. Or I’d just save it. But I blow it on new dresses and tops and shoes and lunches with my friends. I am so lame. D: It’s a good thing I’m going to be a starving college student soon. I can learn to be humble. Thankfully, I get my check weekly, so when I say I’ve blown 2 paychecks, it’s really like one because every else gets theirs bi-weekly.
I will be taking 15 credits at the university this upcoming quarter. :) My schedule consists of 3 classes: Economics, Astronomy, and Japanese. And although I was panicked for a while since I had a very late orientation (people have been going since June!! Mine was in August!!), I ended up with a really nice schedule. As in, I will be done with classes by 1:30 every day. :) Although my classes will be starting at 8:30 everything, since working morning shifts all summer, I no longer have the capability of waking up after 7:30AM anyway. Apparently it only takes 10 minutes to walk anywhere on campus - hopefully, this will prove to be right.
