I guess it's because now that I actually have *time* to take care of things, I expect myself to do so. The apartment needs tidying, and vacuuming. And the fridge broke again...there's some brown liquid coming out of it onto the kitchen floor. We called maintenance and they came and fixed it but now it's doing it again. I guess it has something to do with the "drip pan" whatever that is...ugh it's gross. And inside the fridge, the freezer leaks into the fridge and gets all our food wet...gah.

I think something is wrong with my cat... She just acts weird lately. Like, she's always really hyper. I'm hoping she's just bored. Maybe if we adopt a little sister for her, she'll play with the kitten until it wears her out and then she'll sleep XD

I started working at New Horizon yesterday. We're using the new Positive Behavior Support protocol and the new material combined with the fact that the families were really late and there was a lot of confusion about the taxi, made the session really stressful. Bryan and I were both like...gah...after we left the session because we are used to doing so much better. I'm sure it'll be better next week though.

Next weekend is JAFAX!

So I successfully made it through spring quarter again! Woo! I'll get my grades on the 22nd. I think I passed all my classes, which is kind of amazing considering that spring quarter is always REALLY rough for me, and my mom was in the hospital, and everything... I missed a lot of class so I hope everything worked out. I think my profs would have contacted me sooner if I had straight up FAILED, lol. Phew. So glad it's over.

So this summer is going to be busy. I'm working two nights a week, volunteering with Sandra, and doing my senior individual project. This is going to be a research project on how homelessness affects the family dynamic. It's supposed to take me about 20 hours per week...gah.

I'm also going to Asia on a total solar eclipse cruise with my dad. My mom was supposed to go with him but she won't be out of the nursing home in time, so I'll be going in her place. I'm sad that she can't go, but excited about whipping out my awesome Japanese skills. It will kind of suck leaving Chris home alone for 2 weeks though :( I really wish he could come with me.

So I got some great news today. My boss who I didn't really get along with is leaving to go to law school. I'm glad because law seems to fit her personality so much better...she's the type that likes to force her opinions on people and insists on being right, lol.

Oh, Angelica and I started our own business! We make commission costumes! Our website is Full and Lovely Cosplay! If you need a costume for ANYTHING (convention, renn faire, halloween, just for fun, whatever!) please keep us in mind :)

I guess that's it for today. Byebye!

Sorry, I'll have to rant about Dave later.

My mom's in the hospital again, out in Chicago. Her knee is infected again. This was her last chance to ever walk again, and now it's gone. My dad is going out there overnight tonight and then disappearing. I understand that he's taking it hard, too, but we need him.

I took the day off of classes today. I don't feel like doing anything. I have to work tonight but I don't mind it. My job is good for my soul, and I have a feeling I'll come out feeling better than when I went in.

I was supposed to turn in a midterm today and another one on Friday but I emailed my profs and they're being pretty supportive, but I just don't even know how soon I'll be able to handle the strain of school again.

Here it is guys! In all its glory :) 1000 sq ft! I LOVE it! And the AC actually works! Amazing :)







































Don't forget, tomorrow is my rant about Dave! Should be fun lol

I've been struggling within myself for weeks, trying to decide whether I want to come back to posting in this journal. A lot has happened...I have great exciting news to share...but I'm not sure if anyone reads this anymore, so before I spend my time writing up everything I have to share...I'm going to see if anyone responds to this entry, lol.

If I do get some replies, tomorrow I'll post pics of my new apartment...

Sunday I'll post the story of Dave visiting us for 12 days straight (it'll be a total rant entry)

And Monday I'll post my exciting college and career news!
