the stories that happened yesterday
So I have the opportunity to go to my very first anime convention! I am sooo excited that there is room for me...I just have to finish up the paperwork. I am soo excited! We're going to Ohayocon! It takes place in Columbus Ohio. We're leaving Friday, and Because people are sooo nice, I didn't even have to pay registration...although, now I have to walk around with a badge, with the name of Ethan...
But I'm not going to gripe about something that I'm getting free. I even told mom about it and she said that she was going to hope for the best. So I wonder if she's going to let me go..I mean I am 18, but I don't think its a good idea to push the issue ya know? I'm so excited! I can't wait until we leave! It's the last weekend of January! Not enough time to participate in the cosplay event but I mean there are plenty of other things, including DDR, and dancing! My first official con! I am sooo excited!
I mean the cons at the library are going to be nothing compared to this. I mean, Sugoicon, is like 5 times smaller than Ohayocon, so I'm going to see it all practically! Plus they have a scrapbook, so I'm hoping that even tho Kiersten is the head of the group and aka photographer that I can take the scrapbooking job from Jessica, because I mean she did a good job, but she just seemed so overwhelmed, when I do it on the daily with my mom, so it's not like I wouldn't know what I was doing! Dunno, I just wish that I could do something other than just being a member...If you want any information about ohayocon, then just visit ohayocon.org. Not COM! That just leads you to a german blog...I'm speaking from personal experience!

Hey Guys! I think its been almost 2 days since a post...I'm shocked, since I have been out of the house, I've been updating like crazy! But anyway! We had a fieldtrip in Written Word, and we walked to Earthconnection, which is basically like this really awesome example of sucking it to Global Warming. It's all run by sisters of charity, and it is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Of course, it couldn't just be a really cool fieldtrip, no of course not, we have to write a page paper on our experience at EarthConnection...Which wouldn't be soo bad if I knew what to write about... But I don't and there in lies my delimna...

HEY! I thought I should write a little something today since it's so special. It's the first day in over 9 months that I'm...SINGLE!!!! I have split from my boyfriend. He's mad at me but it's whatever because I don't feel that I did anything wrong and the relationship was just not working for me anymore. But that's okay... because like he told me soooo many times when we were dating, everyone needs time to themselves, and I'm going to use this time to focus!
School's right around the corner! Yes, Classes start on the 11th of January! I am soo excited! I'm going to be living on campus. I'm very very exstatic to be living away from home. It's a very new experience since I'm such a homebody but there's still a problem, my health papers still need to be signed and we have no insurance! So now, I have to figure out how much it will cost to sign them. Those are the things that are holding me back from registering for my classes. It's always something right?

So, I know its been a long time since I've been online. I've made new friends, I've done new types of homework assignments, I've even eaten knew types of food, and even chilled in different places. College has really been a new experience for me, being on my own and away from home, and I really love it...I thought I would be homesick but I'm not. I mean I miss being at home, but I love the independance that I have.
Speaking of new friends, Ursula is really cool! Like her movie collection is amazing and just her whole personality meshes really well together. And it even feels like a kind of movie, with the other personalities I've met such as Paige, kind of reminds me of Missy from Step up 2, and Jacob? He reminds me of Chase...Like everyone I've met just seems to fit some kind of memory that I own, and I love it!
The homeworks, not crazy boring, or crazy hard (yet) but it is challenging, I can't deny that. Mostly I think it's just being afraid of not being done on time. Like I finally finished my earthConnection essay, and when I went to upload my final draft, I couldn't find the link and I nearly had a heart attack, because I couldn't find it and then I emailed the professor and she said that she hadn't even put the link up yet! So I was kind of jumping the gun!
So we're just chilling, and just got done watching step up 2, which I love!!!!!!!!!!!And a security guard, just came waltzing in like he owned the place, and scaring the living bejesus out of us! And we weren't even being loud! But I guess, it comes with the territory when like, you live on the loudest floor in the building, but what do you expect when its practically bursting with young happy freshman, such as myself?? We're not just going to sit there and be quiet, that's some middle school shyt right there. We'll I don't have any pictures too report, but I did dye my bang. It's like a really light pink, and it only shows up in the bright/sunlight because my hair is sooo dark...It's kind of saddenning.but at least I don't have to worry about work because of the fact,, that ya know...I can't really do anything crazy because of the fact, that I work with food, but as long as I know it's there, then its all good.
I'm really looking forward to Friday, because I only have one class, and it's music and only 50 minutes long, and then I have the whole day to myself, except for Neko at 5! My very first meeting, I hope I fit in, like I love Anime, but somethimes I don't fit in with that crowd...But I'm going to bed now, because it's actually after 2 am, and I am pushing my limit...Peace

Okay...So today was the very 1st day of classes... I love My Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes. It's not that they don;t seem hard, because...they do. But its more like they make the class interesting. And Since it seems interesting I'm not as quick to toss it to the side. I bought the books for World Civ. They Were massively expenisve! Guess, just take a guess at how much you think it would be...50 MF dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I could get like 12 books for that price my god! THey're trying to starve me!!!!!!!!!!
And don't even get me started on the other books!!!! Intro to Soc's alone is 114. + tax and CHANGE! They had the nerve to add change to that, there must be something in the water, hell there must be something in the air if they think people are going to pay that much for a book.
But moving on...I'm reading the syllabus for Written Word and Prof. Buffy is Freakin' Awesome! Like, You have to have a laptop with internet acces for her class right, and she's goin on about the things you shouldn't do while in her class, and she says no facebook(You can harvest your crops on your own time.) I was getting soooo weak!
Finally got my mailbox info. So I can order stuff, and get stuff at my dorm instead of having to wait on the weekend in order to get my packages. Speaking of which, My stuff from amazon is waiting for me at home except for my pillow case, which isn't scheduled to get here until freakin' February! Ain't that insane? But I'm still happy, because my Hello Kitty Mechanical Pencils, and my Hello Kitty Pencil case are finally here! Will upload as soon as I get pics. I have to go to bed so I don't miss class.
Love you!

So Hi everyone. I'm just checking in! I moved into my dorm room last night. Paige and Biz are totally boss, and the R.A.'s cool too. I haven't really met anyone else yet. but it'll only be a matter of time until I meet them all. So Last night was full of new experiences!
- Getting locked out of your dorm room is NOT fun!
- Getting Physically home-sick...
- Figuring out I was hungry too late and getting locked out of the dining hall
- Having a head ache the size of texas...
- Spending the whole night, updating my computer JUST so I could get on the internet...Goal was achieved around 4:15 this morning. From around 3 the following day. Wonderful isn't it??!
Classes start tomorrow, and I'm already running into trouble there as well. Is there anything about college that is easy???? Other than getting raped, things being stolen, or failing??? Like I was trying to order my books and Not ONLY are they tres expensive, but one of them says something totally random about being a PDF file? So which one should I get? THe digital or the hardback? So of course being the resourceful woman that I am, I emailed the teacher. Who promptly sent me an email saying that they won't be back until the 21st which is grand and all but...
WHO'S GOING TO BE TEACHING THE CLASS ON TUESDAY AND THURSDAY>????????? Sometime's I dont' think they think these things all the way thru. lol
Jeez louise! Have you ever seen that commercial with T*mobile when theyre talking about what you want out of a cell phone plan? And the seamstress says one that doesn't charge me one of these, and one of these? an arm and a leg? Well that's my answer to the library's request to buy my books from them Bless Bastet, it's high way robbery! My book for sociology? $114.97, and yes they have the nerve to add tax to that nonsense! That's the most expensive book, but if I bought everything from the bookstore, I'd be in the hole like almost 400 dollars! DO you know what I could do with 400 dollars? Hail Hecate, I could get car insurance with that thing!
So, turns out I already know two people that go to my college...Erin, from TMD, and C.J. from school. I've seen hide nor hair of Erin since I got here, but I only just found out that C.J. was going here! I am soo geeked, we can rekindle our long lost friendship! I haven't seen him since MTH Graduation....Immed my Aunti, she is sooo coool! On Wednesday, she's bringing me a bin of ramen noodles and treats...I knew that my aunt was great, but this is freaking amazing of her... Do you have any idea as to the length of time its been since I've had ramen noodles? Just their name makes my mouth salivate!
There's no heat to be found in my dorm room and if I wasn't wearing my totally functional and adorable hello kitty slippers, I'd be freezing my poor tootsie's off! I don't understand why, I can't seem to turn on the heat, but I was in Biz's room earlier and it didn't seem that it was as cold as mine, maybe there isn't enough stuff in my room, maybe they hold heat...I'm doing everything I can, I'm wearing clothes on top of clothes, I'm under the covers as I type, wearing a sweater...AND a jacket...Plus I'm wearing my hair down so it can create extra heat, where's the hair heat when I need it?? Who knows...
Still hide nor hair of my roommate, I wonder if their going to move someone else in here with me or if they're going to move me instead...I hope not, I mean I'm totally unpacked, my parents took the other two Suitcases, and besides, despite the lack of excitement and HEAT, I'm quite partial to my dormitory. Finally got the dock for my player, so I don't have to worry about my headphones. This year is going to be boss and I cannot wait to add pictures, from my new school. Alright, I need to find something ''Productive"to do with my time, so I'm going to log off...
